This week, we’re making your home theater a little more friendly.
However, not all of them are exactly easy to navigate, especially for those unfamiliar with XBMC.
For example, Confluence’s horizontal menu is hard to see, and certain add-ons are buried in submenus.
Experiment with some other skins and see which ones are easier to navigate.
I personally really like “Transparency” for its easy-to-read vertical menu.
Play around with your remote and see what layout makes the most sense.
If they can, you’ve found the ideal layout, and you should stick with it.
You might also try going with a remote designed specifically for XBMC, likeone that works on iOSor Android.
It doesn’t get much simpler than that.
Some skins will even let you remove the submenus altogether.
Bring up the context menu and choose “Add to Favorites”.
This step isn’t necessary for all skins, but it is necessary for many, including Transparency.
Enable these and choose the add-on you want from the favorites menu.
Repeat this process for all the add-ons you want on the front page.
They should all show up on your main menu for quick, easy, pain-free access.
In Transparency, you’ll find kiosk mode under tweaks > Skin tweaks > General > Enable Kiosk mode.
Check your skin’s documentation for more info on whether it has kiosk mode and where to find it.
