Hi. some time ago i've posted with some feature requests on the skin, but my english is kinda bad, and i forgot to elaborate about it and it probably wasn't too clear what i meant to say.
the idea is as follows: settings to the user to add or change the home screen tiles icons, name and path.
usage case:
- in my setup, i have multiple computers that share the same xbmc library via dlna/upnp, so in these computers, the paths of the content are different from the main one.
on a average skin, to reach my movie library, i need to always browse: videos > files > upnp share > movies > titles or put inside favorites.
but on most modern skins, i can just put a custom tile on the home screen that leads directly to this path, replacing the default movies one.
- on the main xbmc computer, i also use that feature to show a smart playlist of kids-friendly shows on a kids profile.
- that is also used to pc games: instead of going to programs > program add-ons > advanced launcher > games, i just put a custom tile that sends me directly to the game library.
- the possibilities are endless: it saves a lot of time when you regularly go use some addons, like youtube subscriptions, hulu plus, lifestreams, etc just putting them directly in the home.
in the refocus.big mod, that feature is kinda implemented with five custom itens you can put on your home screen, but would really be awesome something like this on the official skin.
with the new vertical reFocus look, you could take a look at skin.eminence settings for inspiration on that: they achieved a neat (and beautiful) way to do that kinda of customization using a home editing UI.
i really love your eye for design, after all reFocus was the skin that made me fall in love with xbmc on the eden days. and wherever that kind of feature gets implemented or not on your skin, reFocus will continue being my favorite skin of all time
I have an automatic daily backup running now...
