I would recommend a harmony remote and set SMS functions.

On the xbox? i already have a xbox remote and i dont want to spend more money.

Yes for the xbox and many more. I Have the Harmony 525 (40 euro) and use it for everything.

For the xbox you can set the harmony as Media Extender Remote and have 19 buttons more.

It's so nice to have extra buttons, you can set them the way you like.
Shortcuts, SMS, etc etc

Skin isn't designed for mouse at all. The menu probably disappears as it thinks the menu has lost focus? I never use the mouse for control as I use the keyboard or a remote and wouldn't recommend trying to use the skin with a mouse.

That's the issue.. I had mouse disabled and the behaviour as described occured. Then I found that the enable/disable mouse setting seemed inverted.

I think you are referring to the far right menu which doesn't have the little blue text above each item? That is because of the way that part of XBMC works, the controls (and the types of controls) are hard coded into the screen so I can't get it to work the same as the other menus. I wasn't able to figure out a way to 'hack' it to look the same but may come back to it at a later date if I remember.

Correct.. That's the menu part.

Have you tried the Exhibit view?

Yeah, tried them all but didn't like them too much. Problem also is the folder thumbs that get in the way in the background. Sorry don't have a good screenshot example right now.

I first tried MiniMeedia a couple of weeks ago and at first it just didn't feel like a skin that I would use. However, after trying it again and spending some time configuring it I'm completely bowled over by it. I have fanart shrunk to 960x540 and use the low list view and it looks absolutely gorgeous. And best of all it works very well on my old xbox.

I have a few questions.

I edited the keymap.xml so that at the home screen pressing the TITLE button on the msremote fetches up the shutdown menu. Is it possible to add a settings button and filemanager button to the shutdown menu as well?

When in file mode if browsing a folder how do I get it so that the folder.jpg is used instead of tbns/screenshots. I have a few folders full of 100's of kids cartoons and it would look really nice if the folder.jpg (a wide banner) was used instead of been blank because there were no tbns/screenshots.

Is it possible to add a button for the Weather Channel Script to the weather page?

Keep up the great work and I can't wait to see what else you'll be adding.

You can endless edit your keymap.
List of Built In Functions

You need.
ActivateWindow(window,dir) : for opening settings menu and file manager.
http://wiki.xbmc.org/?title=Window_IDs

and
RunScript(script[,args]*) : for running a script (weatherscript.)

Normally folder.jpg should picked up by xbmc.

If there is a .jpg in every folder you could clear your video thumbs in your userdata and xbmc will scrape the thums again and like I said it should pick up the folder.jpg's in file mode.

edit : For your library you need .tbn as extension.

edit 2: SendClick([window,]controlID) isn't in the list of build in functions. (should be)
Very handy in some cases.

I have a Harmony remote and have been trying to map a key for toggling a video's status to watched/unwatched.. I tried everything and can't make it work

But I have to agree, the Harmony remote is the best accessory I have ever bought..

And I LOVE MiniMeedia.. best skin ever!

"ToggleWatched" is what you need.

Add this to your keymap global (keyboard). example

<w>ToggleWatched</w>

The "w" key should toggle now between watched / unwatched.

For remote pick a button you like and put it in global (remote).

Nope, but in first post in this thread you can download backgrounds.
To configure those is a little bit off work 5 min.

[Filete]

not set the skin to make backgrounds
