Full Version: Change items on home screen

Can someone tell me how to change the buttons that appear on the home screen on the Windows XBMC. I'm trying to change My Videos to link to the TV Shows section of the library. I did this on my Xbox by changing the file "Home.xml" in the PAL 16X9 folder of the PM3 skin. But trying this one the PC didn't work.
I also tried editing Home.xml in the PAL folder of the PM3 skin and it still didn't work.
I clicked on "reload skin" after making the changes and restarting but this didn't work. I'm running at 1440x900 and using XBMCSetup-Atlantis_alpha4 (or at least that's what the exe I downloaded was called)
Thanks
I edit the home screen for both versions all the time. I haven't found any differences between xbox and PC. Post your edits...maybe someone will notice something.

I edited the file Home.xml in the folder C:\Program Files\XBMC\skin\Project Mayhem III\PAL16x9.

But it doesn't looks like this is the right one for the pc version. This is the section I'm trying to edit...

Code:
<control type="button" id="2">
                    <description>My Programs normal push button</description>
                    <posx>53</posx>
                    <posy>28</posy>
                    <width>12</width>
                    <height>14</height>
                    <hitrect x="45" y="15" w="220" h="40" />
                    <label>0</label>
                    <font>special13</font>
                    <onclick>ActivateWindow(MyPrograms)</onclick>
                    <onleft>98</onleft>
                    <onright>96</onright>
                    <onup>9</onup>
                    <ondown>5</ondown>
                    <texturefocus>home-focus.gif</texturefocus>
                    <texturenofocus>-</texturenofocus>
                    <textoffsetx>30</textoffsetx>
                </control>
                <control type="image">
                    <posx>50</posx>
                    <posy>72</posy>
                    <width>18</width>
                    <height>22</height>
                    <texture>homebutton-small.png</texture>
                </control>
                <control type="button" id="5">
                    <description>My Videos normal push button</description>
                    <posx>53</posx>
                    <posy>74</posy>
                    <width>12</width>
                    <height>14</height>
                    <hitrect x="45" y="60" w="220" h="40" />
                    <label>3</label>
                    <font>special13</font>
                    <onclick>ActivateWindow(MyVideos)</onclick>
                    <onleft>98</onleft>
                    <onright>96</onright>
                    <onup>2</onup>
                    <ondown>3</ondown>
                    <texturefocus>home-focus.gif</texturefocus>
                    <texturenofocus>-</texturenofocus>
                    <textoffsetx>30</textoffsetx>
                </control>
....

I say that doesn't look right because the PC version doesn't have a 'My Programs' button.
Please tell me what file to edit
Okay problem solved by using a workaround. I installed the new beta and I'm not using PM3.HD skin and I can edit that one fine. Thanks for the help anyway kricker.
*now using
Glad you got it sorted out.
