Suggestion; don't make it an option, simply set it as default I think other skins also set it as default and I *think* 99% of the users only enter the menu to go to the Subtitle add-on...
I've used a lot of skins, and I've never used one that had the subtitle focussed by default, or even seen the option to do that. That said, I think it's a fantastic idea, and would love love love to see it, whether an option or by default.
I think a lot of users don't use a subtitle add-on, because they don't know it exists. Having it be just there, readily selected, when menu is clicked would be great for discoverability. I've been trying to teach my dad to use it, who is hard of hearing and stuff with subtitles is very useful to him, but getting to the subtitles addon is tricky for a non-technical user.
I used Nox and Xperience+ before, and maybe they set the subtitles option as default as soon as you point the skin to the subtitles addon... I guess? Because skins have an option in their settings which lets you point to the addon that should be used. Maybe from that moment on, the skin will default to the subtitle button.... I don't know
I believe Artic also has this 'question' in its Settings, but I'm not sure (not at home a.t.m.).
Anyways; I really noticed this, in other skins I never have to manually select Subtiles, it simply is highlighted by default
