Would it not make more sense to have the highlighted show be the topmost one, where the plot description text starts? Or even the middle one (visually centered, and my personal preference)?
I can't reproduce this. The viewtype does not dictate which position is the default starting point.
Note though that when you browse to the fifth item and then escape to home, upon reentering XBMC will remember where you were and return it's initial focus to the fifth item.
When you go back (so using backspace in the case of a keyboard) to home and reenter, then the initial focus will be on the first item in the list again.

It appears you need to take the extra step of unzipping the file, running the texture packer, then copying the texture file over to the add-on directory.
The overlays not showing on an uncompiled git version has to do with a trick I use to be able to use different overlays for unfocused and focused items which cause the path to the images to only be found when pointing to a single compressed texture file.
Long story made short, you're going to need to compile the textures file to make the overlays work.

Code:
<control type="Label">
Every place else in the file you have:
Code:
<control type="label">
This has no effect whatsoever. The warning about invalid includes is totally harmless, it just means that somewhere in the skin an include is called which doesn't exist anymore.

I'm busy this afternoon but will download and give it a try later this evening, and will report back. My wife's starting to look at me funny...."you don't love this skin more than you love me, do you?"
You´re welcome, and yes it is more logical and flexible this way. Needs quite a lot of clunky code, but I think it´s worth it.
Now go give your wife a hug

tho now i can't seem to remove "Videos" menu from the home screen. there are no plugins below it and its disabled in settings.
when clicked it takes me to the "files" page.
Yup it was a messy first draft.
Pushed more changes to git:
-it should now respect the toggles for the main menu items
-the other categories have been updated to the new behavior
-"don't use submenus" skin setting removed as it's no longer needed
-submenu selection options are now disabled when the main menu item is disabled
-system and pictures now have configurable submenus too
