It should be there but you need to have atleast 2 profiles and be logged in with one of them. It will not show if you only have a master profile setup.

Not without script.randomandlastitems, which Amber does not support right now. It would be doable but because of the amount of custom menu slots (9) a lot of checks and queries would have to be made.

Thanks very much to the creator for this terrific skin. Really, by far the best I have used.
I do have one minor thing though. Is there any way to change the "highlight" of the items as you scroll through them? On my TV it's not always very obvious which item is selected when scrolling through files. The orange highlight on the home screen is great, but for example on 1Channel the selected item is very, very slightly more grey than the greay background and the text no different at all.
The amber border that comes up on the home screen would be fantastic, but failing that just a more bold text and more obvious highlight would do the trick too.
Just a thought.

I agree on the highlight. On the projector screen it's barely visible if you have some background light coming from somewhere and i often find myself looking at the icon or fanart to check which item is focused.

Thirded. Say in TV Shows -> Recently Added, in List mode, the highlight on the first/second item in the list is often almost invisible if the background fanart is particularly bright. Some way of making the highlight more "contrasty" while still keeping it subtle would be appreciated.

Hi there,
After discovering the Amber skin last week I have been quite busy the past days to customise it. One of my main goals is to show recent items for custom menu items (or the very nice 'home shelf'). I tried to achieve this by using the script.randomandlastitems, but I just read that Amber doesn't support it. And I also understand this doesn't have a high priority on the backlog.
Another option I have tried is to 'customize' the standard movies and tvshows menu items: I edited the titles.xml file which is used by the default menu item 'movies' and 'tv shows'. This was however also not succesfull. The changed files operate correctly, but are however not used by the default menu items once I open them. Do you have any idea what I am doing wrong?
Thanks.
