| Summary: | Confluence Lite Mod | ||
Confluence is the default skin for XBMC 9.11 and above. It is a combination of concepts from many popular skins, and attempts to embrace and integrate their good ideas into a skin that should be easy for first time XBMC users to understand and use. This is a Modded version of Jezz's new Confluence Lite that will allow the user to add their own choice of items to the main menu bar.

6 Useful Customisations
The following customisations may make your experience of Confluence Lite Mod even better
6.1 Keyboard Customisations
To apply these instructions you will need to download a Keyboard.xml file as described on that page then edit it.
Depending on how you interact with XBMC will depend on the exact settings you need - these steps are for Keyboard users, or those who use an infrared remote control which emulates a standard keyboard.
6.1.1 Show/Hide Watched
Once you have applied the changes listed below and restarted XBMC the "J" key on your keyboard will toggle the Show/Hide watched flag - in most views this will cycle between
- Hide Watched
- Show only Watched
- Show All
In the <global><keyboard> section of the Keyboard.xml file simply add the following line :-
<j>SendClick(10)</j>
6.1.2 Home
Once you add a Playlist to the home menu you will find that exiting it requires quite a few presses of the Backspace key - Once you have made the changes detailed below and restarted XBMC the "H" key on your keyboard will take you straight to the Home screen
In the <global><keyboard> section of the Keyboard.xml file simply add the following line :-
<h>XBMC.ActivateWindow(Home)</h>
