From T3CH readme/nfo:

QUOTE

New Dashboard install method
Thanks to a new app called 'Team UIX's Xbe Shortcut Maker v1.0' by JbOnE, it's now extremely easy...
Edit XBMC\xboxmediacenter.xml to your liking & transfer contents of XBMC folder TO (this is VERY important) "E:\APPS\XBMC\". Rename <<RENAME_ME.xbe>> to something your bios can boot  (see http://manual.xboxmediacenter.de/wakka.php...BMCAsDash#h44-2 or read your BIOS README)  and transfer to your C partition. No need to fiddle with HOME tag anymore, and future upgrades you won't  need to worry about this file on C.

The XBMC manual is available on The XboxMediaCenter manual has also been updated with information about the trainer feature, check it out on manual.xboxmediacenter.de.
You can add more scripts and skins yourself if desired. You can download them from http://allxboxskins.com, http://www.xbox-skins.net and http://www.xbmcscripts.com.
Keep in mind this is a CVS snapshot of the current development tree. It's not a official (stable) point release. Use only if you know what you are doing.

[devguy]

No problems for me on this Build so far.  Just upgraded from a November '05 build which I felt was very stable.  Keep up the good work!

[Zowsky]

one question. Can I overwrite the XboxMediaCenter.xml, and Home.xml with my older version? or do I have to recode the stuff I added to the skins?

[patto]

anyone else think it's lame how the default theme has this big 'XBOX' written on the top left
even XBMC would be better

I think it looks fine.  Easy enough to change though if you really hate it.  XBMC Skins are easy to make (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)

Hum...both my xbox's are locking up when I click "My Music".  I'll have to do a complete wipe of the saved settings and see if that helps...strange that both are failing (My Video opens up just fine, and it has most of the same share bookmarks)...

I need Jonathan to release the second version of the GUIInfoManager.cpp that I have, since I made smaller LCD labels for the Disk free space as well.

Absolutely loving these constant XBMC updates, especially since the trainer engine has been added.  Keep up the good work!  (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)

Small fonts !!
I have LCDTV - and i use mostly 720p resolution !! (1080i looks a little bit better but fonts are simply to small)

1.) How to enlarge system fonts  ??
2.) When i'm playing DIVX - subtitles are to small i have to use code-page 1250 and only fonts installed are Arial 1250 -- the largest are 28 which is far to small ... i need cca 42,44 !!

Where can i get larger fonts??
ths!

[soltakr]

Thanks, great release.

i havnt updated in ages this deffinitly will be better.

toni1-there are posts on editing the fontxml to get larger text. if u cant find them let me kno ill send u my 1080 settings or tell u how to edit it.

I've been messing around with this build for the last hour or so, and this is a good one. Several of the bugs from the last few releases have been fixed.

Thanks to the XBMC team. Keep up the good work!  (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)
