Update 'uix.ini', and rearrange (any order) as you like. 'RunSetting', 'RunHDD', 'RunMusic' & 'RunMem' are variables to access 'Settings', 'Hard Drive', 'Music', or 'Memory' sub menus.

[Main Menu Tabs]
Tab Text 4=SETTINGS
Tab Text 3=MEDIA CENTER
Tab Text 2=HARD DRIVE
Tab Text 1=MUSIC
Tab Action 4=RunSetting
Tab Action 3=E:\\Apps\\XBMC\\default.xbe
Tab Action 2=RunHDD
Tab Action 1=RunMusic


Done! <

[b0oGy]

Hmmm would be a nice feature but i have tested the code and if i add this my UIX dont boot anymore
I have checked everything 3 times but has found nothing wat i am doing wrong is it eventually a bug in Code? Does it work for you?

Thx b0oGy! <

[MrSin]

It works for me, I can see one thing wrong in the instructions, but the post can not be changed.

CODE

          if(nCurMainMenuItem == 0)
           {
               theMusicMenuIn.Play();
               GoToMusic();
           }
           else if(nCurMainMenuItem == 1)
           {
               theSettingsMenuIn.Play();
               GoToHardDrive();
           }
           else if(nCurMainMenuItem == 2)
           {
           }
           else if(nCurMainMenuItem == 3)
           {
               theSettingsMenuIn.Play();
               GoToSettings();
           }
       }

This part should not have the bottom '}', therefore it should read:

and replace:

CODE

if(nCurMainMenuItem == 0)
{
    theMusicMenuIn.Play();
    GoToMusic();
}
else if(nCurMainMenuItem == 1)
{
    theSettingsMenuIn.Play();
    GoToHardDrive();
}
else if(nCurMainMenuItem == 2)
{
}
else if(nCurMainMenuItem == 3)
{
    theSettingsMenuIn.Play();
    GoToSettings();
}

with:

CODE

//
//  CONFIGURABLE MAIN MENU ACTIONS, FROM 'n3wbie' tHC LITE CODE.
//
//  Select menu action.
//
if (nCurMainMenuItem == 0)
{
    MenuAction("1");
}
else if (nCurMainMenuItem == 1)
{
    MenuAction("2");
}
else if (nCurMainMenuItem == 2)
{
    MenuAction("3");
}
else if (nCurMainMenuItem == 3)
{
    MenuAction("4");
}

to make it look like the following:

CODE

control DEF theMainMenuJoy Joystick
{
function OnADown()
{
    PlaySoundA();
   //
   //  CONFIGURABLE MAIN MENU ACTIONS, FROM 'n3wbie' tHC LITE CODE.
   //
   //  Select menu action.
   //
     if (nCurMainMenuItem == 0)
     {
      MenuAction("1");
     }
     else if (nCurMainMenuItem == 1)
     {
      MenuAction("2");
     }
     else if (nCurMainMenuItem == 2)
     {
      MenuAction("3");
     }
     else if (nCurMainMenuItem == 3)
     {
      MenuAction("4");
     }
}

function OnLeftThumbMoveUp()

My 'default.xap' can be downloaded: default.xap, which has all the changes made.

I have include the my whole 'uix.ini', maybe you had a problem in there:

Yeah now it works fine but is there a way to add this to the Dashboard Config Option in UIX? That I can change the Menu from UIX and dont need to edit the .ini this would be very nice.

And big thx for this code a very nice feature. <

[carrico]

 GREAT  

Thx for this wonder!! One thing, Media Center takes a long time to start, 5~6 seconds, is this normal? <

[mateoleone]

In the UIX dash go to setting and in the menu options there is a setup for creating the path and names for the buttons. You can change it there. <

NO not if you have already changed to the Configurable Main Menu.

This is from Original UIX:

c.Button_01_Text.geometry.text = IniFile.GetIniValue( "Main Tab 1" );
c.Button_02_Text.geometry.text = IniFile.GetIniValue( "Main Tab 2" );
c.Button_03_Text.geometry.text = IniFile.GetIniValue( "Main Tab 3" );
c.Button_04_Text.geometry.text = IniFile.GetIniValue( "Main Tab 4" );

and this from Configurable Main Menu:

c.Button_01_Text.geometry.text = IniFile.GetIniValue( "Tab Text 1" );
c.Button_02_Text.geometry.text = IniFile.GetIniValue( "Tab Text 2" );
c.Button_03_Text.geometry.text = IniFile.GetIniValue( "Tab Text 3" );
c.Button_04_Text.geometry.text = IniFile.GetIniValue( "Tab Text 4" );



"Main Tab" has changed to "Tab Text" so you cant configure it in UIX Dash/Settings. <

[mateoleone]

Ah sorry about that. <

[420Baker]

How can I add this feature to the hard drive menu? So I can have Games, Applications, Emulators and a specific game lets say Halo. <

[420Baker]

or a fifth tab in the main menu. (will the THCLite code work here link- http://forums.xbox-scene.com/index.php?showtopic=204671) <

Hello b0oGy,

of course there is a way    Follow these instructions:

Open default.xip / config.xap

Locate

CODE

function BuildMMList()

And change the whole function to:

CODE

function BuildMMList()
{
   var i = 0;
   configList = new Array;
   configValues = new Array;
   configSelect = new Array;
   configList = "Memory Tab Text:";
   configValues = "c-Main Menu Tabs-Tab Text 1";
   configSelect = "ConfigKeyB()";
   i = i + 1;
//
   configList = "Memory Tab Action:";
   configValues = "c-Main Menu Tabs-Tab Action 1";
   configSelect = "ConfigKeyB()";
   i = i + 1;

   configList = "Music Tab Text:";
   configValues = "c-Main Menu Tabs-Tab Text 2";
   configSelect = "ConfigKeyB()";
   i = i + 1;
//
   configList = "Music Tab Action:";
   configValues = "c-Main Menu Tabs-Tab Action 2";
   configSelect = "ConfigKeyB()";
   i = i + 1;

   configList = "Hard Drive Tab Text:";
   configValues = "c-Main Menu Tabs-Tab Text 3";
   configSelect = "ConfigKeyB()";
   i = i + 1;
//
   configList = "Hard Drive Tab Text:";
   configValues = "c-Main Menu Tabs-Tab Action 3";
   configSelect = "ConfigKeyB()";
   i = i + 1;

   configList = "Settings Tab Text:";
   configValues = "c-Main Menu Tabs-Tab Text 4";
   configSelect = "ConfigKeyB()";
   i = i + 1;
//
   configList = "Settings Tab Action:";
   configValues = "c-Main Menu Tabs-Tab Action 4";
   configSelect = "ConfigKeyB()";
   i = i + 1;

   ClearText();
   UpdateText();
}

And voila - you’re able to configure the tab actions via UIX'  configuration menu.

Remember: Valid UIX tab actions besides external programs own scripts are : 'RunSetting', 'RunHDD', 'RunMusic'  and  'RunMem' .

Have Fun

This might sound like a dumb question, but is there a way to get the main menu to have a tab for games, and then have it jump to the menu that lists all the games, like in the hard drive menu.

I edit the default.xap with what I thought (GoToTheGamesMenu(), but I guess this is still a little above me.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks In advance

That's exactly was I looking for! Direct access to games or apps or settings from the main menu just like I could do in tHc.
By doing so I was able to password protect the Applications and Settings tabs while leaving the Game tab opened for anyone who wanted to play games!
 
Can anyone help out?:huh:

When ever I make the changes it loads the standard MS dash .. the files I have are xip's and not xap's so I cant copy your default MrSin. Would it be possible for anyone to post their default.xip ??

Many
Thanks
