It would seem I thought of everything
but really, in the skin settings you can turn the circular menu on/off so it can look like the xtv one again. you can swap scripts(the default) for youtube, and can replace the webbrowser icon (the default, but only useful if you are using a build with linksboks included) with the tv icon (either one will be replaced by a DVD icon if you insert a DVD or CD into your xbox, until you remove the disc). And before anyone asks, no other icons can be added or removed just exchanged with others (hence scripts/youtube, browser/tv), it must be always 10, any more or less, and and EVERYTHING would have to be re-coded.
It would be nice if Chief added it to xtv, but he may not, but in it's current state, the return animations to home are still the same a xtv, but I'm not going to fix those little things, because they may not make it part of xtv officially, and it would be a waste of time. xTV is his baby, and he will make it look how he wants. I use xTV set to normal mode, because I like it that way, the mod was only because Gamester wondered what it would be like, and the coverflow was because someone asked for it.
Jezz, have you had a chance to see what's up with the flicker? It's basically your code ideas, so I figured you'd be the one to ask.
but all questons for this mod, should be moved to the circular menu thread, this thread is not for that.
