Hi,
I'm using Amber 3.0.7 on Kodi 17.4. I would like to change the order of the main menu items. Could it be done by editing the XML files, and if yes, which files?
Thanks

Ok you need to edit the includes.xml which is located in the amber skin folder then the 1080i
open it up with notepad++
Locate line 885 you will see items with ID numbers like this
<item id="1" description="Pictures">
<visible>!Skin.HasSetting(plexbmc)</visible>
<visible>!Skin.HasSetting(Pictures.Hide)</visible>
<label>$LOCALIZE[1]</label>
<thumb>$VAR[Pictures.Art]</thumb>
<onclick>ActivateWindow(Pictures,root)</onclick>
</item>
You need to copy and move the sections where you want i.e if you want addons before pictures it would look like this
<item id="2" description="Addons">
<visible>!Skin.HasSetting(Addons.Hide)</visible>
<label>$LOCALIZE[24001]</label>
<thumb>$VAR[Addons.Art]</thumb>
<onclick>ActivateWindow(1119)</onclick>
</item>
<item id="1" description="Pictures">
<visible>!Skin.HasSetting(plexbmc)</visible>
<visible>!Skin.HasSetting(Pictures.Hide)</visible>
<label>$LOCALIZE[1]</label>
<thumb>$VAR[Pictures.Art]</thumb>
<onclick>ActivateWindow(Pictures,root)</onclick>
</item>
Basically copy the section you want to move i.e. settings cut it and move it before or proceeding the entry such as addons and paste it there and just make sure there are no empty lines
if you get stuck let me know
