@jmh2002 , this is intentional...

After a lot of real life delays, I will begin the work of using script.skinshortcuts for the menu/submenu/widgets in Xonfluence.  Part of what this brings is the ability to redefine what all of the menu items are, what are the submenu options for each menu item, and also the ability to have some default widgets already present on a new install or total reset of the skin settings.  So, my questions to you:

1. Are there any menu items you wish were included by default in Xonfluence which are not today?
2. Are there any submenu items that you wish were included by default in Xonfluence which are not today? If so, fo which menu item?
3. Are there any default widgets that you wish were included in Xonfluence? If so, which and for which menu item(s)?

It is important to note that my aim (a bit ambitious, as I am having to learn a few things I am not totally familiar with yet) is to have unlimited widgets per menu item, even though only one will show at a time.  Thus, for the default widgets that you would like to see, you can name more than one per menu item.

Another note on the default widgets is that they would not be optional, meaning that if you do not want any of them, you would have to delete them yourself.  This should not be an issue, since you will be able to configure the menu/submenu/widgets as you wish.

Finally, are there any of you that prefer the menu/submenu/widget system in Xonfluence to remain as is?  I understand that there might be some of you that do not like skins based on skinshortcuts, and I would like to know.

Thank you in advance for answering my questions; your answer will greatly influence the finished product.

Regards,

Bart

- i wouldnt mind seeing a 'windows' menu item (could be a visible condition based on system platform) - there are onclicks actions now which can access/open files&folders and launch other programs on windows) which could be used for submenu items and or widget items.  
- 'system menu item' widget - use a bunch of settings or window ids as widget items - a sort of 'quick nav', instead of having to go into settings  
- As for skinshortscuts - i would prefer to leave as is....the Xonfluence Skin is loved for its ease and tinker-bility not just via the skin settings but from xonfluence's own xmls - it not needed imo - its gives with one hand but takes with the other - you might get more options - but the tinker-ability - ...have you tried tinkering with skins which use skinshortcuts!?

@udangaribaldi , what submenu items would appear on this "Windows" menu item, that would be useful to many users who have Windows as their OS?

- I am not sure I will add a System menu widget as you mention.  What I am thinking is that you will be able to add the submenu items as a widget.  Which sections of the Settings are not in submenu items today that you would like easier access to?

- I am definitely adding skinshortcuts, that is not subject to debate; what I am wondering is how many of the users would like to keep the menu system as-is, so that I can evaluate making the use of skinshortcuts an option.  If there are several users who would like the menu system to remain as-is, then I will consider the extra code required to make skinshortcuts an option.  If not, then the new menu/submenu/widget configuration will be based solely on skinshortcuts.

You can certainly tinker with skins based on skinshortcuts.  You just need to learn about skinshortcuts and how it works in order to tinker with them.  That is just what I did.

@kenmills, unfortunately, that is not controlled by the skin, but by Kodi.  Thus, there is nothing I can do.
