I modified the XML files in c:\Program Files\Matrix Orbital DriverCore\Resources\240x64x1\default\mce\, and I am more or less happy with the layouts (still not sure if I can change the background color and sometimes the system is not firing events, even though I am running Vista, and I have to restart Media Center), but most of all I would like to fix the scrolling problem. Below is the listing of my videos-play.xml and it never scrolls the file name for me. What is wrong?
videos-play.xml
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" ?>
<!-- videos-play.xml: for playing videos (wma, etc., not recorded tv) -->
<layout background="border.png">
<image x="0" y="0" width="256" height="64">videos-play.png</image>
<videos-title x="0" y="6" width="240" height="20" fontname="Arial" fontsize="10" alignment="center" fontstyle="Bold, Italic" />
<videos-transport x="-35" y="-21" width="264" height="64"/>
<videos-elapsed x="0" y="23" width="150" height="20" fontcolor="000000" fontname="Arial" fontsize="11" fontstyle="Bold" alignment="center"/>
<videos-progress x="105" y="26" width="90" height="10" background="progress-background.png" foreground="progress-foreground.png"/>
<videos-duration x="105" y="34" width="90" height="20" fontcolor="000000" fontname="Arial" fontsize="8" fontstyle="Bold, Italic" alignment="center"/>
</layout>
No scrolling with my videos-play.xml

The video title is a non scrolling item at this moment, I'll change it to a scrolling item in the next version.
if you change
<layout background="border.png">
to
<layout background="border.png" backlight="ff0000">
You should have a red background, its prettymuch the same as you define colors in html but without the # infront of it.

I tried exatly what you suggested, the background did not change:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" ?>
<!--
recorded-shows.xml: shown when the use has navigated to recorded shows but not started a show.
This layout shows a "music" text treatment and current date and time.
MediaDisplay (MediaState Managed Assembly Sample Application) layout file.
-->

hummz according to my notes it got removed just before we shipped cause it wasn't possible to get the default background color back then, I'll fill in the few open ends today and I can assure you this will make it into the next version.
As for your removed rant (and yes I do see all) you are more then welcome to join the beta program, give me a PM if you are interested.
