Latecomer to this skin after playing with Aeon MQ3 and Neon SVN since starting with XBMC.
This is now my new favourite and default skin, it's clean, simple to navigate and the viewtypes aren't too cluttered and the fanart view takes full use of a widescreen TV for maximum effect.
Wife approval factor is also very high.
Is it possible to create an option in the skin settings to customise the home menu with addon scripts playlists rather than the current submenu option for Add Ons? If not a high priority I'm happy to edit the relevant xml file to create a addons home menu item for myself.
The reason why I ask is that I'm using the PlexBMC addon. My aim is to only display TV Shows, Settings and Customised Addons on the home menu for Cirrus Extended V2 in XBMC. Then label the PlexBMC addon on the XBMC home menu as Movies so that it launches the Cirrus PlexBMC skin showing only media links for Movies, Photos, Music and Plex Online.
I prefer how Plex displays a menu selection under Movies where you can filter by category/genre/recently added, released, collections etc which is great when you have an extensive library. Smart playlists are great as well but are limited by how many are included by the skin's creator, which is never enough for me and tends to clutter the home menu, when you also include favourites for the kids.
At the moment I'm using the Addon submenu but it's not intuitive for the family if I remove Movies from the XBMC home menu so customising it would be of great benefit for me.
