I think it will work well when you leave the version for eden, this is for Dharma.

- Not shown the pictures of the cast.
- For "weather and shutdown" you can place buttons?
- Have support for" ClearArt and cdArt?

I love how your skin is doing, fast, clean and very practical.
Thanks Scarfa.

yes, yes!!!

glad to see you back in business, scarfa

can't wait for the pre-Eden edition.

I do have a comment/suggestion/complaint.

why did you choose to make the menu items graphics? not very user friendly IMO, when adding custom menu items. what if i don't have a program to make the graphic. but i want to change the name of the menu item....Confused

could you possibly tell us what font you use, or make the layered version available? would it be that difficult to just make it text? for easier modification?

One small request if it can be accomodated to be made compatible. I am currently using the nightlies, and I know rapier right now is for dharma. Everything seems to work fine though except one little thing. When i go into skin settings to add a sub menu item, such as link to youtube plugin in videos, i can no longer get out of that setting option. So for the past 3 weeks i've been stuck not being able to change any other skin settings since i'm stuck on the screen for skin settings that show me which script/plugin i want to add. I also would prefer to stay on the nightlies as there are significant improvements for my system since the last stable release.

I know this must be some change in the nightlies that isn't compatible with the skin right now. But it would be great if you could see if theres an easy way to change some little setting to allow this little menu to be compatible with both dharma and eden. that way atleast for now, I and countless others can keep using the skin in current state wile on pre-eden, and you can take as long as you want to finish up the skin for dharma before you move on to eden.

Currently I am fixing/tweaking some things mentioned in this thread. If you find any other problems with the skin, use GitHub's issue tracker to make it easier for me or post here if you like.

I hope to have a Dharma final ready soon as that is what most people are using at the moment, then I will move on to making it compatible with Eden.

Nmirza,
I've mentioned this... He knows. Use your mouse to exit the menu, it's the only way (for now).

could add more theme? for example: white.xbt or yellow_golden.xbt.
is this possible?

Thanks

Scarfa, thanks for adding the movie title at the bottom in Thumbs Info mode!

I'd like to experiment some more with this, so could you point me toward where I can change its font size and maybe its placement on screen? Our current TV is pretty small, so a bigger font would be welcome. I've also noticed that long titles have to be scrolled because the title area has only so much space. If I could rather place the title above the movie thumbs and info area, that should do the trick, allowing for a bigger font and making scrolling unnecessary.

Is the GIT version only for Dharma? For pre-eden nightlies users, the right version is the zip file in the 1st post, right?
