However, if I manually recreated a custom item in the menu bar with the same name as before, than the submenu items would show up under the recreated item. However again, these submenu items would either perform the original action that would have been the default for Kodi or do nothing at all. In the end I redid the main menu from scratch and improved it a bit at the same time.
...To get your old settings back change your skin to the default, Estuary, then copy the settings.xml file from your old scopenox folder to the new one, and finally change you skin back to the new scopenox.
I want to ask you a couple more questions, but the server keeps blocking my posts and only occasionally lets me get one though. I'm going to have to talk to a mod. Fingers crossed this post goes through.

I can really think of just one possibility:
- You don't want the skin active when you replace the settings file because it will occasionally save to that file and potentially overwrite the new setting you just copied over. I don't know if this is a full save of all values or just some. I suspect just some since I've noticed the order of values in the file changes.
