I like the skin and I hate having to use the keyboard, is there any way to make this more mouse friendly. I don't want to buy a remote as I have XBMC through an HTPC. Many times I find when I click on an icon with the mouse, the submenu appears and then disappears when I move the mouse cursor toward it. I find the only way to consistently get it to work is if I select the icon with the keyboard and navigate the submenu also with the keyboard. Another thing I would appreciate is to make right click go back only one screen instead of the home screen. This again forces me to use the keyboard if I want to go back one page. One final note, Is it possible to change the size of the Custom Shelf Icon so it fits in the banner on top better?
Thank You for any and all help in advance and Thank You for the great work
Unfortunately,no plans for Mouse support... sorry.
as for the custom Icon, You need to create an image with clear borders to make it fit better.. I can't reduce the size or the weather icons will result being too small...

also can you teach me how to incorporate fanart3 view from quartz into sio2 if that is possible
thanks in advance
thanks!
which skin are you using sio2 or sio2-X ?
anyhow you just need to edit Home.xml and exchange positions btw:
Code:
<item id="343">
<visible>!Skin.HasSetting(hideaddon)</visible>
<thumb>icons/Addons.png</thumb>
<label>24001</label>
<property name="color">icons/Green.png</property>
<onclick>ActivateWindow(1118)</onclick>
</item>
and
Code:
<item id="344">
<visible>!Skin.HasSetting(hidepic)</visible>
<thumb>icons/Photos.png</thumb>
<label>1</label>
<property name="color">icons/darkblue.png</property>
<onclick>ActivateWindow(2)</onclick>
</item>
as for adding views that's messy....
keep in mind that the home switch will reset itself at every update. (even though there might not be that many in the future for regular sio2)
Enjoy.
