Really looking forward to the next alpha.

Cheers guys. I can't take all the credit though! Welo's concept is amazing, and Hitcher did some initial coding that's still pretty much in place.
Launcher/Advanced Launcher View - jimmydean1 - 2011-06-17
Wanted to chime in and also thank you, and everyone who has put forth effort in development of this skin. I didnt see a a donate button anywhere, so if i missed it, please point it out.
At the moment the only thing keeping me from a wholesale changeover to even the Welo alpha is that using a program plugin such as launcher or advanced launcher, only yields a default view (the list view with the poster on the right). The plugin utilizes the skin's views, and I know these are 3rd party plugins that i'm sure aren't on your priority list, but for those of us with HTPCs that double as gaming rigs, this would be a most welcome and awesome feature, (and definitely one I would donate for to see make it in a release).
I think the default Wall view used for movies would be just about perfect for this type of display. The main thing desired is the ability to display fanart, game info, and the poster in one view, (similar to the current Welo movie wall view). Below is a sample from the Aeon MQ2 skin using the advanced launcher plugin for Games, (overwrites "programs").

If you want to donate, donate to XBMC in general. For the greater good!!
Regarding views, you make a very good point. I'll be expanding the views sooner or later, so will definitely sort this one for you. I've added it to the 'to do' list!
Cheers

You can access video add-ons from the videos sub menu, so press up when on the home page main menu video shortcut.
I'll add it the Movies and TV Show sub menus as well.
I think i'll also add a slightly transparent flashing arrow next to the active home main menu item, to show that there is something there by pressing up.
Cheers

Great to have it added under Movies also, since I usually access my movies through Movies menu instead of Video menu. Thanks

Awesomely smooth on the ATV2. Once the OSDs are ready this is becoming my stock skin
- krish_2k4 - 2011-06-22
one plus having no OSDs is i have learned a lot of shortcuts!
cant wait for alpha 2!
- liquidskin76 - 2011-06-24
F*ck it!!!!
I've spent ages looking through my code trying to figure out why recent/random wasn't working for TV Shows. It wasn't displaying the thumb, title, etc. Thought i had messed something, and was racking my brains for a change i may have made.
Anyway, i've just realised my database has gone funky and was causing it!!
Time for a cup of tea i think!
