Need Help with Radio Button - Wanderer189 - 2019-10-29

I am trying to theme the aeon.nox.sylvo skin (current version). I have 3 or 4 moving animations going across the screen via the Home.xml file. I have them all working as I want them too, set up in a group (I think lol).

What I would like to do, is put a radio button in the skin to toggle them off/on. (I can handle the skin part, just not sure the code I would need to use for the switch).

I am very new to skinning and the Skinning Guide is pretty vague with little to no examples.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

something like this SkinSettings
<control type="radiobutton" id="708">
                   <label>Category Label</label>
                   <include>DefaultSettingButton</include>
                   <onclick>Skin.ToggleSetting(Category_Label)</onclick>
                   <selected>!Skin.HasSetting(Category_Label)</selected>
               </control>
home.xml in the group
<visible>!Skin.HasSetting(Category_Label)</visible>

I really appreciate your reply, thank you. I tinkered with it off and on all day yesterday (I was under the weather and brain was cloudy.. haha), but I finally got it working well. Thank you very much.

I have two more things to tackle if you might know how to do it. The main one is I am wanting to force the skin's main menu layout to one rather than five.

The second one is have the system menu bar at the top by default, I have been able to do this by moving its position, but can't find a way to default it up there.

for the menu i t may be best to ask in the skin forumit may be near menu items
<item>
                       <label>$LOCALIZE[31000]</label>
                       <property name="menu_id">$LOCALIZE[31000]</property>
                       <onclick>Fullscreen</onclick>
                       <thumb>icons/now-playing/fullscreen.png</thumb>
                       <property name="id">myhome</property>
                       <visible>Player.HasMedia</visible>
                       </item>

the only skin i have modded is esyuary

@the_other_guy Yeah, I think you are right, I posted in sylvo skin thread, maybe I will get an answer there. Other than that, I am getting close to being finished I believe. I am actually doing a few themes for my grandson (5 yrs old) and adding the animations to them. I been fooling with Kodi/XBMC forever and seems no one has ever done much with the sylvo skin and animations. I am currently working on a batman, toy story, spiderman, super mario, superman, and scooby-doo theme. Maybe when I get them done I will put them in my repo Huh

Again, thank you very much for you help.
