The Git link in the 1st post, gives you all the latest updates of Rapier. You can download the updated skin also from Xbmc passion too under the addon section too, if you find Git too dificult.

Perfect thanks i used the passion xbmc addons section to download it. Should i delete the rc1? Is the svn version the final version, and xbmc will automatically update with any changes?

Delete Rapier RC1 first, then either install the passion repo, and then download rapier from the skins section or manually download the skin from xbmc passion. The xbmc passion repo will automatically update the skin whenever updates are pushed in Xbmc passion. Personally, I prefer GIT as Scarfa pushes all the updates there first and then they get incorporated later in Xbmc passion.

Scarfa, a small note on the skin and the now playing window. I noticed that when playing music i basically see the artist, album, and below that "no descriptiom found" (the now playing window). Ive played lots of songs and it always says no desc found Im thinking having a space for description is a bit redundant when it comes to musuc since as far as i know theres generally no descriotion ever the way you might find it with tv shows or movies. I havent played via normal music files or library mode. Im using the itunes plugin.
Maybe you need to still have a space for description since maybe you cant have a sepaarate now playing window for musuc vs one for videos and thus theres a space for description whether something has a descriptiom or not.. Im not sure about the mechanics of skinning but if thats the case would it be better to basically change the behavior of the descriptor tag so that if theres no description then The tag space for description is empty (no text saying "no description found") and if there is a description then obviously theres a description in that space. This way dependent on how people tag their music or scrapers they use the description is available if neeeded and just blank if not needed.

Any chance you can add an option to display clear art in the OSD display?
Would be great to see the clear art logo instead of the episode thumbnail...

Definitely +1.
Also , it would be great to see cdart and artist logo implemented for the music section.
