Glad you got it working, if you find that sometimes the remote stops working, someone came up with a way of keeping ehtray alive - which means the remote always works and things like the recording icon in the system tray also works on Windows 10.

I think one custom menu strip, with 5 items, is the official limit of Media Center Themer.

However, if you inspect the registry with regedit, you can see how they are added, and can then add/duplicate your own. Although you'd only be able to edit them through the registry then.

I assume that the TV displays in a different resolution to the laptop?

If so, my guess would be that the problem is that WMC can't handle the change of resolution caused when windows detects the TV turn off and switches back to the laptop display.
