I have made an MenuX-skin, but I got really dissapointed that i can change the highlight-colour. Can anyone explain to me what I should do to make it an MXM-skin? I read in one thread that you should convert the png's to jpg's. But what do I do next? I think I need som basic xml-files to look what I can change...

I use craxtion and in a MXM-folder there I see a matrix-skin, but honestly I dont understand a sh*t of that....

Thanks in advance...

Cofi,

I am not sure if you use craxtion, or not, but I got something sort of working with it if you read this thread:

again, I dont know if that will mean much to you, but I got it working with no problems.

Thanks for your replys.
BenJeremy: Can you post the xml-file in this thread? That would be great.
Thanks for all the work you and the other guys have done....

To turn this into your own skin, use this below, and place your MenuX backgrounds and sounds into the same directory:

That should fix things up. Sorry for the confusion (it was late)

nah still no success but this time it atleast booted it. I can see a menu with e drive, f drive and dashboards. No backgroundpic's just black.

Do you think it has to do with that i open the default.xbe from evox? Instead of disc that is meant. My drive cant read my dvd+rw's and i dont want to waste any disks....

However everything was in the wrong places and shit, but i will try to edit the coordinates to get to the exact places. But there's still one mayor problem. Isn't it supposed to show the games that is where the default.xbe (the execute for mxm). game1 and game2 in speak of... sure i can browse them in the e partition where I have them, but i want them to show up at first.... maybe it's because from the hdd.

That's a different issue.

To get the menu to point to the items you want, you'll have to make one up. In the absence of a menu, MXM searches E: and F: - this is "auto-configure" in "Launcher mode" - when MXM is running from the hard drive.

You'll have to make an item entry with an <AutoDir> tag in your MXM.xml or in a separate menu.xml file (MXM looks for this when it doesn't find any valid entries in the MXM.xml file) that points to the directory you want it to look into.

When running in "DVDR mode" it will search the immediate directories below D: (the disc) in "auto-configure"
