Hey guys.  I know this will probably get moved to the skinning sub-forums, but since it's not very active, I was hoping to get some help here first.  I made a custom Zelda skin using UnleashX Video Creator from AllXboxSkins.  Here is exactly what's in my skin.xml ---

Right now, I have a video intro, video background, and video loading skin.  The background sound and sound effects are perfect.  I have the DVD Drive, C drive space, and F drive space listed in white on the bottom right side of the screen.  The scroll menu is listed in the bottom middle of the screen in a tranlucent white.  That scroll menu currently cuts off text that is too long.  I want to move that scroll menu text close to the top left side of the screen and change the font.  I also want the scroll menu text to display their full names and not cut off text that is too long.  Then I want to have a preview box below the menu on the lower left where I could view video previews of each emulator I currently have selected.  Also if possible, I'd like to have some kind of border around the preview video.  All the text color is fine.  I've tried changing the coordinates under the >text< comments in the xml, but there are so man, and I don't know what does what.  I also do have a FileManager.jpg in my skin folder, but it's just a snapshot of Zelda that doesn't even show up anywhere whatsoever.  I was wondering if someone might be kind enough to show me what I need to edit to acheive these goals.  None of the skin xml guides seem to go into detail like this.  A sample revised skin would be even more appreciated if someone was willing to go the extra mile.  Thank you very much to anyone who reads this thread and can help me out!

Menu that start s at co ords 10x10 at the top takes up the whole width of the screen 620 and is as half as hight as the screen 240

As for the rest I will get back to you later in the correct forum
