Credits...
Jezz_x for making the Original PM3-HD skin.

Please Note...
I use an older version of PM3-HD one before the Coverflow view was added i may add this in later the reason i use this build is i use an older version of XBMC and the newer skins don't work on these but the older skins work on any version so it was the logical solution.

This works great ... just what I was looking for.

Cool mod. I was toying around with it. Is there a way to get rid of the

Not Set
Videos - File View

Other wise its exactly what I've been looking for. Well as long as it runs as well on the Xbox Its been what I've been looking for.

It Works Perfect on the xbox even without using the lite option. nice mod Rocky

if you want to remove it then you need to edit custom_Videomenu_1112.xml but this means removing buttons and changing there onup and ondown properties also you would need to edit the texture.

all new strings are in Languages\English\Strings.xml so you can rename them here.

OK am currently in the process of redoing all the textures like so as i watched Tron and i think this looks cool let me know what you think please.

On the custom Plugin location in settings it brings up the keyboard opposed to the browse to location the location.

I'm only pointing it out becasue I was trying to figure out what the "not set" was for.

Removing the texture like you did does it speed up the Xbox or reduce the texture size much?

yeah you need to put in this plugin://video/plugin folder name

I may see if I can make it like add source but dont thin you can as adding the folder through the folder browser doesn't work hens why it's typing it in.

i has one though will test it and see if it works

am not getting you here removed what texture?

i vote for a version without the videos - file mode listing as well.

Ok update on page 1 you can now disable the video view button and it includes my Tron skin.

My question was kinda vague I guess. Changing to your look of Tron does it reduce the texture size so it loads faster or did you change it at all?

I'm just trying to keep the old Xbox happy as I can and as long as I can.

the tron skin is not SD thought it can still be used as I use it you still need textures.xpr as not all textures have been replaced.

As for memory and speed use xbox textures.xpr these textures are halfed so smaller foot print faster to load.

If you want to make a new tron xpr just extract the images from it and resize them by 50%

[b]Update...
Ok redone Page 1 looks nicer also updated the submenu mod new fanart view, Seasons and Episodes thumbs look.
also updated the Tron skin fixed the background and added in the textures for the new fanart thumbs.[/b]

Thanks for the skin, I like the changes!

I am using it as I love Library mode but it doesn't include things like MythTV. I have managed to get the MythTV bit working witht his skin but cannot figure out how to make it return to the main menu when pressing "back".

Currently I have "MythTV" set as a custom source under Videos and used ActivateWindow(videofiles,MythTV) which happily goes off the the MythTV section however backing out first goes to the Video Files root, then the main menu. I tried putting a "return" on the end of the above but that then stops it going directly to MythTV, going instead to Video Files root.

If anyone could help me with the "getting back to main" bit, I would appreciate it.

Cheers
Bruce
