I'm trying to add a menu system similar boxee itself in my app but I'm running into a frustrating issue. I have a main.xml and a left.xml. In main.xml I'm calling ActiveWindow() referencing left.xml. When the new window loads it takes over the entire screen despite trying to limit it with width.

I get a black screen then whatever controls are in left.xml. If I load the actual boxee main menu the window is only 220 wide leaving the window underneath it visible.

Any suggestions would be appreciated.

Had this same problem today. You want to set <window type="dialog"> and reload boxee for it to take effect.
