The reason I ask is that when using the a third party addons catagories for a home screen widget it seems to take about 10 secs to load that widget every time you choose a different left pane category. I noticed that the Titan Skin had that option to toggle off the auto refresh for home widgets, is there some where I can look to find that within the XML to narrow down the search so you maybe able to implement such a feature ?

I will take a look at titan skin to see what can I do.

This by chance the strings that give the option to toggle force refresh off and on ?

It's just toggle button but good start.

Wouldn't the toggle button give it the ability to turn force refresh off and on thou ?

Yes but I can't do nothing for that, I use property for hide them when toggle is on and when you change item on home menu, this property is clear, that's why they appear few milliseconds.

No, just a toggle button can do that. It's not a function of Kodi or Skin Shortcuts or Skin Helper, there is many code behind that. That's why it's not easy.

Sometimes I also get music fanart appearing before next aired tv shows widgets

The skin still has to be programmed to actually do something because of that toggle In the case of Titan, the interesting stuff happens in the Skin Shortcuts template file - shortcuts/template.xml. The templates are a complex feature (full docs here) but there's only three interesting lines (for the first widget, at least!) - the first two are these on lines 24 and 25...

Code:

<property name="content" tag="property" attribute="name|widgetForceRefresh" value="refresh">$VAR[widget510]</property>
<property name="content" tag="property" attribute="name|widgetPath" />

... which is setting the property $SKINSHORTCUTS[content] to either $VAR[widget510] if the toggle is set, or to the value of the widgetPath property of the menu item. Line 52 within the controls for the template is where the property is - this will get replaced with either the var or the widgetPath property.

Code:

<content target="$SKINSHORTCUTS[target]">$SKINSHORTCUTS[content]</content>

And the var itself is in 1080i/IncludesHomeWidgets.xml, line 2953:-

Code:

<variable name="widget510">
    <value condition="!IsEmpty(Window(Home).property(skinhelper-refreshvideowidgetsbusy))">special://skin/extras/emptywidget.xsp</value>
    <value condition="!IsEmpty(Window(Home).property(favwidgetrefresh))">special://skin/extras/emptywidget.xsp</value>
    <value condition="window.isactive(fullscreenvideo)">special://skin/extras/emptywidget.xsp</value>
    <value>$INFO[Container(300).ListItem.Property(widgetPath)]</value>
</variable>

Though how that var forces a refresh I'm not sure, but that's what the toggle you found is doing.
