However it has trouble display characters that are not ascii.

Well, this is not true as it displays Serbian, Czech and German characters just fine. I have tried very hard to find free font that looks nice and has as widest possible language support. In short, font is unicode but probably does not support every language.

That said, I will checkout how skin looks with font supplied by XBMC and add support for it or try to find other solution. Do you have any suggestion for font that might be used?

EDIT:

System font added, making total of 4 fonts available in next skin release

-Default (normal weight)
-Strong
-Light
-System (the one used in Confluence)

All changeable from setting/appearance

Sometimes the big screenshots in the new watchlist is not showing, only black.... I have tried to update it by restarting and let it re-populate, but still the same... In my/this case it is the two uppermost that don't show. I don't know if it is a pattern or only a coincidence, normally all screenshots shows. I thought I just would report it Smile

Thanks for reporting I'll have a look.

Great! Can't wait to try it out.

I believe the "Arial-based" font provided by XBMC supports most of the languages ( includes asian languages)

Not really sure how xbmc handles font rendering, is there a way to specify/fall back to certain font based on the character encoding?

Hi

This is looking really good now, all we need now is a way to add the appke tv logo to the bottom right, and we're sorted..... i've altered the logo on the home screen preview panel and it looks great, people think i've got an apple tv now lol.

Pecinko

Since your "fix" for the atv 1 things are fantastic ... I do however have 2 questions and want to know what you think.

1. It appears that the Media Shelf can handle 10 items as per auto (recently added) in Movies. If I want to assign addons lets say to the Media shelf for TV shows ... I am limited to 5. Would it be prohibitive to allow as many addons / favorites to the media shelf as it can handle (or at least ten as recently added allows)?

2. If Movies is set to default the Media Shelf would show Recently added thumbs (which it does well). However lets say there is no Movie library ... should it show the XBMC logo instead of just an empty shelf ?

Btw: the skin rocks! Smile

You mean before shelf falls down? Smile Well, yes it can handle 10 movies but again they are little narrower and lighter than add ons Smile Just add next 5 add ons through favorites.

Will fix Smile

And now also one of the items in the watchlist missed the poster, only a black box, but this one had the screenshot though...
The other items I told about that missed the screenshot still misses them, while they move down the list.

I searched before installing and noticed in an earlier post you said that you added support for the Home Cinema Experience program. I have installed it and really like it on my ATV2 but I don't see any option to play the movie with Cinema Experience? Have you removed this from the skin?

I would also love in one of the fanart views if you could alternate between extrafanart when hovering over a movie but I understand you want to keep lightweight. My main thing is somehow getting cinema experience to work with this.
