@Bladerunner 10 items per submenu would mean the submenu would be hanging way over both ends of the tellie and behind the favorites,shutdown etc. on the left corner. 5 maybe.. Personally I'm content with just customizing the IncludesHomeMenuItems.xml myself and making sure it doesn't get written over,like I have been doing.. 1 because I only removed a few items and added a few, and as for the other items in my menu I have playlists, why would I want a submenu on a playlist and if one expects every submenu item that is a playlist to have a panel for them as one scrolls yes it would take too long to load up and then theres the refresh it does periodically. AeonMQ3 has all these features all ready, and I find it a big power hungry the way it is i can imagine AeonMQ3 with panels for all its submenu's.. We might want to remove the word lite from the skin name, its an oxymoron when applied to a mod. I for one will be creating diff files with the symbol "-" in them.. add in those 50 custom backdrops with those 50 panels please.. <sarcasm>.. Attention all AppleTV users this will not work for you.

EDIT: wow really 10x10 + 10 = 110 items total.. 100 submenu items X 10 videos per item in panels = 1000 how often does it refresh ? during which period one wont be able to move easily left and right with the remote.

I'll look into it for you, but I do have concerns over the idea - 5 submenu items on 10 main menu items = 50 variables that is then multiplied by however many different choices of submenu items you can offer. Already the better coders out there who've looked at my variables file will be saying "OMG what is this guy doing"

ok ok :-)

I didn't thought about 50 variables! I would say 5-10 for each main button should be enough

Hello everybody.
Would like to support this request. Custom submenu is a must, and of coarse there will be total 50 variables. Will it slow down the skin drastically? One solution could be to allow only links to favorites, since most of actions can be assigned as favorites. Or even custom action string which will allow more sub actions to be added (like libruary update).

In addition, some wishes on Recently added widgets.
- Is it possible to show "watched flag" over movies and episodes posters?
- For episodes widget the season and episodes numbers together with the name of the show would help a lot to understand how many new episodes there are. While the title of the episode can be shown in widget title when episode is focused. I follow several shows with automatic torrent download, so episode image alone is not sometimes sufficiant to understand is this episode has been already watched or not.
- Weather widget. Is it possible to add "precipitation" (chance of rain) and wind speed and direction values? would be complete the forecast info!

All above is valid for playlists option of main menu, i do not use native movies and tv shows option.

Another idea for widgets. To split two rows - top to show Random Items, lower - Recent items, both for 10 items scrolable in horizontal. While for Movies and Shows is not so important, for Music would be very convinient option. Quite offen i want to choose fast SOMETHING random to play which is not recently added. Will be even more effective for those who have a big music libruary. This idea comes from Aeon Nox "mixed widget".

Thanks for comments in advance.
