In that case delete my post please. I had read this thread looking for a solution and found people who couldn't get the home to highlight, only the forum tab, with you saying 'they all do that sir'. Seems I didn't read far enough through or misunderstood.
My particular problem probably derives from my own layout, where XF is in /community/ but Featured Threads, as the home portal, needs to be in the root domain. Anyway, I only managed to get 'forum' highlighting for Featured Threads.
It always has been.
The code was a little buggy though so I have hopefully resolved the resizing and cropping issues as much as possible.
I would still recommend that the image used for the icon is either the actual size or the same exact ratio for the best results.
Don't worry, you'll be beta testing as usual so you can test it all then
Using Featured Threads as portal works great. I do have a custom sidebar with Widget Framework (clear sidebar) and that seems to be the way to go. http://animeinspirations.com/
This was the solution for me as I had numerous problems with XenPorta and compatibility (namely I couldn't get the various blocks to work with widget framework and such). Jaxel's products have been some what of a disappointment lately (Xenporta/Medio/Carta) with the lack of support, incompatibility with Widget Framework (which should be 100% standard) and other issues.
Thanks Brogan, you have gone above and beyond with this add-on. At first, I thought it was a niche "Promote a Post" add-on (albeit still useful) and it turns into this wonderful, fully-functional and appealing homepage portal. Keep up the great work.
