I have the newest version...however, I am not an Anime fan, and everytime I boot up, I get some stupit picture of an Anime character wearing a x-mas outfit. I cant seem to change it or turn it off. Is it a screensaver? Wallpaper? Skin? Whatever it is, I dont want it there. Also in the lower rigght corner, the word XMAS v0.49.3 appears. Its past x-mas...can that be eliminated?

Pardon the stupid questions, but I just got Avalaunch after dumping the old and moldy Evox dash...any help customizing this would be appreciated.

Thanks

To get rid of the chick grab a skin and apply it. If you got your xbox hooked up to the internet you can go to settings->skins-> and one of the options in there lets you browse on a couple of websites for skins. If you press the a button you get a pic preview on the left hand side. Hitting A again and it will dl the skin and apply it. Once you leave the menu it will apply the skin. I would suggest getting a skin that has a bootimage included in the skin. Put the bootscreen.png or whatever image file it is on the c drive. Also the XMAS tag for the version hasn't been removed yet. If you go into settings->main options->and one of the menus in there has a option called "Use Unstable Tree". That is beta builds of the dash. If you want to use it, enable it in that menu and then go to settings->update dash and it will dl the new versions of the dash. I am not sure if it will remove the XMAS but it's worth a try.

If you have your box hooked up through your network, go in to settings --> update dashboard and it will say Core Update Available 049.3.138

Once you update it will not show the XMas girl anymore. It does still, however, show XMAS across the bottom of the screen for the version info.

For the startup image, find a good PNG file that'll probably already exist in your Avalaunch skins folder. Copy it to the root of your C: partition as bootimage.png, all should be well.

do I need a keyboard?

I've got one...

Under settings ---> network there's X-link Kai. How does one type in a username and password? I pick it and it puts the edit username popup window thing but I can't type anything.

I think it's the start button that pulls up the keypad.
Press y to save.
