Hi Myth,
Installed EDEN 11 official and succesfully added my smart playlist to the home menu. Im using PM3 skin. Before 11 official, to each menu entry I could assign customized background image. Now, I dont see my custom menu entry when Im in the Skin settings / backgrounds tab. How I can change the code to be able to assign custom backgrounds to my smart playlists again?
Thanks for help

EDIT: Managed to edit home.xml by using any of the unwanted home menu entry ( for example "videos" ) and link it to the smart playlist file. Then enable it. XBMC now displays the entry in the Skin settings / backgrounds tab ( previously videos ), so I can assign my own picture to it. But if you will know how to leave the original code untouched and add only new home menu entry with custom background image as you provided in your guide, I would appreciate it
The "videos" entry code for "HD only" smart playlist has been edited like this ( videos.jpg has been substituted with my own image ):

<content>
<item id="6">
<label>HD only</label>
<onclick>ActivateWindow(10025,"special://profile/playlists/video/HD only.xsp", return)</onclick>
<icon>special://skin/backgrounds/videos.jpg</icon>
<thumb>$INFO[Skin.String(Home_Custom_Back_Video_Folder)]</thumb>
<visible>!Skin.HasSetting(homepageVideoButtonAlwaysFilemode)</visible>
<visible>!Skin.HasSetting(homepageHideVideoButton)</visible>
</item>
