Would it be possible if could add support for the advanced launcher in refocus big? Same as you did for Metropolis, which is great by the way.
Paul seems pretty busy and I would love to have some views for advanced launcher on the skin.

I suggest you to not post compiled autoit executables (or do it but keep posting the code). Because it will important to let users have the possibilty to modify the code (exit key or path modification) and also it wil avoid you to have to post 32bit and 64bit version of your script.
Don't know if all of you are familiar with new valve steam function is called steam bigpicture and is made to launch and browse steam games on TV with keypad and TV friend UI
here is more info about it: http://store.steampowered.com/bigpicture/
im using advanced launcher to launch it but the thing is steam doesn't real "closes" when you close it and you lose focus from XBMC,
it focus the normal steam window after you exit.
steam is a bit tricky so i made one little script in Autoit to launch it and since it turns good i decide to share.
the script detects if steam is already open or not and launch it in bigpicture mode.
i set key alt+F4 to closes it and return to xbmc. i think this key will not interfere in any game.
in Advanced Launcher
set for normal app (stand alone launcher)
Arguments: "%rom%"
plataform: IBM PC compatible
here is the autoit code for close steam (not complete shutdown)
Code:HotKeySet("!{F4}", "Terminate")
if ProcessExists ( "steam.exe" ) = True Then
Run ( '"C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\Steam.exe" steam://open/bigpicture', "C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\" )
While 1
if ProcessExists ( "steam.exe" ) = False Then
Terminate ()
EndIf
Sleep(100)
WEnd
ElseIf ProcessExists ( "steam.exe" ) = False Then
Run ('"C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\Steam.exe" -bigpicture', "C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\" )
While 1
if ProcessExists ( "steam.exe" ) = False Then
Terminate ()
EndIf
Sleep(100)
WEnd
EndIf
Func Terminate()
WinClose ( "Steam" )
WinClose ( "Steam" )
if WinExists ("XBMC") = True Then
WinActivate( "XBMC" )
WinWaitActive( "XBMC" )
EndIf
Exit 0
EndFunc
here is code for complete shutdown steam
Code:HotKeySet("!{F4}", "Terminate")
if ProcessExists ( "steam.exe" ) = True Then
Run ( '"C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\Steam.exe" steam://open/bigpicture', "C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\" )
