I've already suggested it but I think it should be really awesome:

A mockup of a right list view with an animation like in Back Row skin. When you stay 3sec on the film...the dvd case opens

Please feel free to post bug reports and i'll put them on my todo list.

butchabay Wrote:Could you post a screenshot of simplicity's tvshow logo view? cirrus extended has TVLogo Righlist View and TVLogo (which shows only the logo and Fanart) until you're going to press "UP" for Info. (So i hope you have enabled all the views in Skin Settings)

rshieldsr Wrote:Yea, I have found those views, and they are very good and very close to what I am looking for already. But the I don't prefer the right list view simply b/c I prefer horizontal scrolling views. The existing Logo Slide view is also very nice but I would prefer that it show a bit more information (of highest importance to me is the episodes/unwatched count).

So, here is a screenshot of the Logo Slide view from Simplicity and IMHO this is just about the perfect balance of showing lots of informaiton while still seeing a lot of the background fanart.

Note that everything (scrolling plot window, the logos themselves, weather 7 clock, everything) has a fully transparent background which gives a really slick look and maximizes view of the background art. The episode count is readily visible right above the selected show logo (which I like as opposed to having it on the other side of the screen as with some views -- on a large TV I have to physically move my eyes from the show logo to the episode count as I scroll through each show).

Also note the Shortcuts option in the bottom right along with the visual cue to use the down arrow to access it. This is available in most screens and brings up a convenient little menu as seen in these two screenshots. In Simplicity, I do not think this menu is customizable, but it is still pretty handy. If it were customizable it would be even better. This is a separate topic from the view I am requesting, but I threw it in b/c I think it is a handy feature that might be considered for future versions of Cirrus Extended.

And as a final request, I like the TV Guide view in this next screenshot MUCH better than CE2's current one (in fact the CE2 TV Guide view is the only thing I have found that I really dislike about this skin). Is this view customizable in ways I haven't yet discovered?

Sorry for the length of this post, but I wanted to get all my comments/requests in at one wack. Thanks again, and again, and again for such an great skin.

Sorry I've not been around of late... I'm still having AVR issues and it's driving me mad! I'm currently without one what so ever and looking at 2k for a replacement to what I need it to do.

That aside, I finally got around to testing 2.0.6 and wow is it fast! Great work indeed. Love the new look and feel but found a few niggles I thought I'd mention...

1- On the home screen horizontal menu, the White lines that highlight the top and bottom of the horizontal menu are off... The top White line (on the horizontal menu) is slightly to low? It has some of the black background leaking out by a few pixels above it... More than the lower White line does.. I can post a screen to demonstrate if That is not clear

2- can you Remove 1 or 2 items in recently movie list etc as it causes an unwanted moving of the text when highlighted... Would it not be better to have it similar to favourites where there is less items but a better fit. Perhaps removing the first and last entry and following the same highlight method as the favourites menu.

3- This is a strange one... The Default (Tron) movie wallpaper is displaying when a movie has no fan art (even after I have set my own wallpapers and backgrounds).... However it's only doing this in the recently added menu? as in the actual "movie" menu when a movie with no fanart is selected displays the current wallpaper... I think I preferred it when movies with no fanart displayed a blank screen.

4- Now this one is a real ugly one... "TV Shows" window in fan art view changes position when entering a tv series to view seasons it on a season level... It was previously in the same place for all fanart views and held consistency throughout (and was also probably very good for dirty regions) please can this be relocated to where it was previously so that the window is in the same place for all three views in fan art view?

Other than that, so far it's good. Very fast, very good options and loving the new look.. Noticed the clock had changed too which is nice

Keep up the good work, sorry for not being around as much but thought I'd let you know my thoughts before I go mental trying to sort out my home cinema
