@iAMl3dgend : I have still not tested it out properly on gotham yet but i will be as soon as i have done this update.
I have tested it once on gotham and have found that on mine it also crashes at the game section when you try to open up the context menu. It also does the same with video/music library as well. I will be having a good look in to it later today or some time tomorrow.
@grote345 : That's great! and the update should be uploaded soon i am just changing around the Xbox Music section and then i will start uploading.
In the latest update i have added :
Changed animations for games & apps section.
Added animation to all of the white tile borders so that it looks smooth when moving around.
Added an option to have half tiles and half pins (see picture below) here you will have half of the pins are your favourites, and half are tiles that i have added like tv, store, settings, games, apps ect.
Added option to have custom tiles on the dashboard (see picture below) from the settings you can now pick between music apps, program apps and video apps to add to the dashboard.
The only problem is that when you pick the addon that you want then you will also have to pick an image for it as well. For me this means navigating in to the addons folder and selecting the image. Hopefully soon i will find a solution for this so that it automatically finds the image for you.
Changed all of the store sections, the music section shows some popular artists. When you click on them it will search the artist on youtube.
The game section shows popular games of 2014. When you click on them it will search for popular gameplay videos for the game on youtube.
The tv & movies section shows popular tv shows and movies from trakt.tv. This is updated daily and when you click on them it shows info, comments, similar and an option to play the trailer. I will also hopefully be adding a button to search your library + plugins for the movie / tv show.
The apps section shows useful apps from the games & apps section when you click on them it will open them.
The collection buttons on the store sections will open your own collection and the search button will search through them.
Added an option to use your own web browser in the skin. - You go to the skin settings and enable alternative browser, then you click on set alternative browser and pick the .exe location for it. E.g. if you use chrome or something then you just select the .exe and then when you click on the internet tile it will open chrome!
I am still changing around a few sections like the Xbox Music section and should be uploading it soon.
Here are a few previews of how it's looking now : (I still want to change around the store sections a little bit)
