This is my page on the Wiki. My real name is Ed, I live in Maine, and this is me:

Start building the Media Center Troubleshooting Guide page. Build the Troubleshooting Solutions page.


Span Styles

Media Center Menus

Template:Color Text

Actually, I think Template:Menu Flow would be better for long term. Or something like that...

<span style="color:#8B4513">Tools > Options > Audio</span>

Tools > Options > Audio

  • Include all items starting from the top menu for consistency.

Tree Hierarchy

<span style="color:#006400">Playing Now > Playing from <Current Library's Name></span>

Playing Now > Playing from <Current Library's Name>

OS Menus

<span style="color:#007A62">Control Panel > Hardware and Sound > Sound</span>

Control Panel > Hardware and Sound > Sound
