Metro home screen
Classic home screen
Horizontal home screen
Credits & Requirements
- many thanks to `Black for his fantastic skin!
- modded skin is based on latest Xperience1080 so whatever requirements are needed for original skin also applies here
Known issues
- I used localization strings where possible but not for all so some of the extra captions won't be translated
- When 'Home' category is disabled home menu is out of the sync on startup so it's necessary to go down to the Power button and then down once more to fix focus
- There is no Pictures item under Applications category anymore so if you need Pictures simply add custom tile using Type=custom, Path=ActivateWindow(pictures)
