Backdrops for custom links on Home Menu?

[HexusOdy]

Hi Guys,

I've added custom links to the home menu for iPlayer and Apple Movie Trailer Lite and both work fine.

I'd like to make them a bit more integrated with the rest of the skin by having backdrops for them the same as I do for Movies, TV etc but I can't figure out how to do that from the Wiki.

Any pointers?

Must be someone with the knowhow here guys. I think it would be rather cool to be able to fully integrate plugins by adding backdrops for them. At the moment it looks odd with just a black backdrop.

I have tried to figure it out myself but can't. Any help appreciated.

I agree, this would be cool :)

What would be cooler would be if djh would add the capability to add plugins to the main page, and be able to apply backdrops and such...

Just an idea for you to ponder over :)

Off the top of my head, you'd have to modify the Includes_Background.xml file.

Unfortunately if it is Includes_backdrops.xml I don't think its as simple as adding another entry or even be possible at all. Any other insight?

I think integration for plugins is important going forward.
