Main Menu Question

smcnally75 · 2008-09-29, 18:10

I'm wondering how to change "Programs" to "Emulators" or "Arcade" in the main menu. I looked through the "Home.xml" file but was a little confused on what to chance since I saw "Arcade" and "Games" in there even though they aren't in the main menu. TIA

Why do you not click right and reveal the Sub Menu Blade with those options already in place.

I didn't realize that was an option. How do I right click with the controller? Is it the white button?

Move 'RIGHT'

LOL...I'm a jackass.

I thought he said "Right Click" not "Click Right"

Thanks for the help!

I just checked that out and it isn't really what I'm looking for. I have my emulators set up so when I click on Programs it brings me to them. I'd like to be able to change the name of "programs" itself in the menu if possible. I don't use anything else in that menu so it would cut 2 steps out of the process if you know what I mean.

As explained in several other posts.. Currently the only way to do this is by editing home.xml.

open home.xml (its in your skins/mediastream/720p/ folder) with any text editor and change

Code:

<description>My Programs Menu</description>
            <label> $LOCALIZE[31004] </label>
            <label2> $LOCALIZE[31014] </label2>

to

Code:

<description>My Programs Menu</description>
            <label> $LOCALIZE[31052] </label>
            <label2> $LOCALIZE[31014] </label2>

I understand that and that is why I explained that I couldn't find where to edit it in the home.xml file.

Hi, I have a question, I read this thread and searched for a couple others. I would like to modify my main menu, I read what I could find and am still clueless.

what does changing

<description>My Programs Menu</description>
<label> $LOCALIZE[31004] </label>

to

<description>My Programs Menu</description>
<label> $LOCALIZE[31052] </label>

I mean I understand what the OP wanted to do, but I am not picking up on why changing 31004 to 31052 does what it does. Which makes me changing my main menu pretty useless since I don't get what's going on here
