Hi
I just updated to the latest version but I have a problem . On the home screen all I see is the weather and favourites tile on the left . the two tiles are also not selectable so there is no way to get to settings to change to another working skin . I had to delete the skin folder to get back to the original skin .
I have tried installing the skin by zip and copying the new skin folder over but nothing works .
Anyone got any suggestions ? I'm getting it from the wife !!!

I don't know what you do, but with your latest commit, the recently added widgets works like a charm. On both, windows and raspberry, movies and tv shows. That's magic...

If widgets can be customized to utilize playlists, can tiles be also? Would be great if I could have the Playlist tile on both Music and Music Videos play a Smart Playlist with one click...

Yes tiles are customizable. And a playlist can be assigned to a tile. When you click the tile the playlist will be opened but not played.
To customize a tile, go to the customization section, click on the tile that you wish to customize and then select the custom option( the one with the swiss knife icon)

Thanks again DjCisco :-) The only thing to get working now is fanart, but I think this may be more down to my idiocy than anything else as some show and some don't. I have a fanart image in each folder (D:\Music Videos\Britney Spears\fanart.jpg shows, but D:\Music Videos\Katy Perry\fanart.jpg doesn't), so it's weird.
Still the best skin I've seen on any MC software!

I tried to reinstall the skin, i deleted the folder and then copied it again. I checked the settings and the home configuration was exactly the same as it was before. are there any other files appart from the skin folder where these settings are stored?
Again i couldnt edit other column than #1, but the main problem now is that the home is gone, is only background. i can hear the sound when moving, but there is no where i can click, is just the clock and the background. so I had to deleted the folder again. How can i install it from scratch?
