FAQ :

1. In order to populate menus with items of your choice, you need to add them to your favourites first.

2. Skin settings are located in Settings->Appearance->settings (under skin name) in XBMC Frodo release

3. To install Quartz "from scratch" in Frodo: Reset all skin settings to default values (you will lose all customizations and skin settings) and than install skin from ZIP as described in previous post.

Great news mate. My first look on it

Better homescreen.
The horizontal lines are gone ( i agree it better then not stable lines)
The shine beneed the posters is gone, i did liked that very much.
Better readably source icons.

What is missing can be added and what is broken can be fixed :-)

They are aligned it's just not left alignment, but centered on colons instead. So it's quicker to visually differentiate between labels on the left and their values on the right.

Will test tonight, exciting - it looks massively different again to the quartz beta I tried...

This skin is just so good because it is simple & fast, looks slick.

I'm not sure whether to switch to nightlybuilds to get the recently added above... do you envisage adding an option for a similar feature above the menu, that shows a random selection of films from library ( I like this feature in Aeon, as it can throw up a few suggestions...)? Are nightlies difficult to use/unstable?

IMO, you should not be switching to nighties just for that.

That's what I thought... annoying though.
- Any thoughts on random selection of movies like Aeon?
