I love this skin only issue is i would prefer to have 7 submenu items rather than 5 as it looks like they will still fit nicely on screen.
it looks like i need to change the "includesHomeMenu" xml but whn i do it does not show 2 new buttons
any help would be much appreciated
to be honest 7 should be standard

Dude, I asked you about three times in the XBMChub forum, what exactly do you want, then we can help. First you were asking about shortcuts on the home menu, then we got to the submenu. I presume that since you've started another post in a different forum that you want the ability to have an extra 2 submenu items that you can change at will in the skin settings?

Ok, Show us what you've done with the "includesHomeMenu.xml" and I'll talk you through the skin settings bit and getting it to work.

all i done was add 2 more of these under "HomeSubMenuVideos" changed the id number
Code:
<control type="button" id="90102">
<include>ButtonHomeSubCommonValues</include>
<label>342</label>
<onclick>ActivateWindow(Videos,MovieTitles,return)</onclick>
<visible>Library.HasContent(Movies) + !Skin.HasSetting(HomeMenuNoMoviesButton)</visible>
</control>

ok so i found the customskinsettings.xml that gives you the options in skin settings to make 7
PHP Code:
<control type="button" id="415">
<width>750</width>
<height>40</height>
<font>font13</font>
<label>$LOCALIZE[24000] [b]5[/b]</label>
<label2>[color=selected]$INFO[system.addontitle(Skin.String(HomeVideosButton5))][/color]</label2>
<textcolor>grey2</textcolor>
<focusedcolor>white</focusedcolor>
<texturefocus>MenuItemFO.png</texturefocus>
<texturenofocus>MenuItemNF.png</texturenofocus>
<onclick>Skin.SetAddon(HomeVideosButton5,xbmc.addon.video)</onclick>
</control>
<control type="button" id="416">
<width>750</width>
<height>40</height>
<font>font13</font>
<label>$LOCALIZE[24000] [b]6[/b]</label>
<label2>[color=selected]$INFO[system.addontitle(Skin.String(HomeVideosButton6))][/color]</label2>
<textcolor>grey2</textcolor>
<focusedcolor>white</focusedcolor>
<texturefocus>MenuItemFO.png</texturefocus>
<texturenofocus>MenuItemNF.png</texturenofocus>
<onclick>Skin.SetAddon(HomeVideosButton6,xbmc.addon.video)</onclick>
</control>
<control type="button" id="417">
<width>750</width>
<height>40</height>
<font>font13</font>
<label>$LOCALIZE[24000] [b]7[/b]</label>
<label2>[color=selected]$INFO[system.addontitle(Skin.String(HomeVideosButton7))][/color]</label2>
<textcolor>grey2</textcolor>
<focusedcolor>white</focusedcolor>
<texturefocus>MenuItemFO.png</texturefocus>
<texturenofocus>MenuItemNF.png</texturenofocus>
<onclick>Skin.SetAddon(HomeVideosButton7,xbmc.addon.video)</onclick>
</control>

ok, let's say it's skin mod...
Then customskinsettings.xml is one of two places you have to edit...
In customskinsettings.xml you can define these addons, but you need to enter them also in home.xml...
Quite at the end is a grouplist for the addons...
Line 770 is the start of it's content...
There you need to enter the missing 2 items...
If this is done, you might rearrange the position of the list to fit the screen...
Therefore you need to change <posx> and <posy> of the group control...
