Do you have malore menu's enabled it may not work with those enabled I never tried that as I don't use them in v7.

Also spoke with sage and they think it is a problem with me zipping using default windows zipping rather then winzip not the 's.

Either way I will have a new build up tomorrow so guys I didn't catch this in testing because I already had the folder created.

They don't seem to coexist too well together. Working well now without the secrets activated.

so you will have

sagetv\sagetv\stvs\sagetv7\Plucky's Menu Mod\

see if it will install after making that.

I had this problem and the fix worked for me in Win7-64

I also had a problem where the TV menu item came up as *null. I had the "Custom Main Menu" disabled but still got the error. I uninstalled it and it was fixed.

Looks good but the Navigation with the up key is taking some getting used to.

Okay I will look at that probably a theme I am changing that is messing up malore menus.

I like that you kept the same names consistent from the Serenity Theme. It made it easy to paste in the pics I wanted to keep from Serenity. (Kept his Music and Online pics)

Request.
I hate the search pic. Even if you don't have a good replacement in mind can you add it to the theme to make replacing it easier. I have a Library Picture I am using now by replacing the SearchBackground.jpg pic in the Standard theme but that kind of hack just feels wrong.

[PLUCKYHD]

Yeah I got a couple of searches but just haven't put it there yet. You can put yours in the theme directory and it will be used instead of the defaults.

The names have to be the same (that's how the STV knows to load the new image) and if an image doesn't exist in the currently loaded themes directory then it reverts back to the default theme for that resource... so just drop your SearchBackground.jpg into the theme you want to use and you'll be all set.

EDIT: i apparently have reading comprehension issues this morning because plucky said the same thing just before this

Actually the Theme developer has the choice wither or not it reverts to the default in the case of my theme it does.

No not in the current build. But I will be adding a way to change the default action when you hit enter so that would be the same thing more or less.

that sounds cool to me..............if you can redirect on enter to any submenu,
my system would be very very smooth

Just to let everyone know Sage has said they have solved this issue on why this won't extract fix should be in the next build so for now you can make the folder yourself or wait for the next build of sage

This might be a silly question and is a bit off topic but where can I read about creating plugins for Sage?

Oh yeah and you guys need to quit ogling my next wife, I agree she is pretty but I am about to start getting jealous...
