Solved Top options Menu Bar
#1
Hello,

I am using the skin and have been finding solutions to most skin questions. However I can't seem to find a way to reorder or change the "Top Options Menu Bar" when in Movies view.

I want to have the option to see the "All Videos/Watched/Unwatched" button on the default top options menu bar without having to go into the third icon on the left (gear symbol) to then find the option, I am trying to make the option easier to find for the family.

I could do without the default "settings" option on this bar or even the "View Options" when in the movies screen, unfortunately I do not have enough skills to modify the "includes_MenuBar.xml" where i think this editing would need to take place?

am i on the right track here? or is there some help i could get to make these changes?

<control type="button" id="10">
<description>All Videos/Watched/Unwatched</description>
<include>MenuBarRadioBtn</include>
<visible>Window.IsVisible(Videos)</visible>
</control>

Thanks in advance
Ammeron.

Hi Ammeron.

Sorry, the top options menu bar can't be customized using the skin settings etc.

You have to edit the xml files yourself.
Remember that all custom edits are overwritten each time the skin is updated. And I always recommend keeping the skin up to date.

You are right that you can edit includes_MenuBar.xml
Find these two includes:
"MenuBarOptions" and "MenuBarExtraOptions"
They contain all buttons in the video libraries.

You could switch these two buttons:
"Settings" from "MenuBarOptions" include
"All Videos/Watched/Unwatched" from "MenuBarExtraOptions" include
Just be sure to keep the sizes for each button.
