A cursory look at the skin files says kinda... basically the big backdrop is used in MANY diff views and you would need to remove the reference to it from the includes.xml and place it within each view so that it then maybe sized independently. Next you need to find the left and right fade images and modify the <height> and <posy> values to make it fit.

AM and PM also aren't showing up on the clock. Odd.

I've rolled back to .94 and the issues I've mentioned with the newest build have disappeared.

Not odd, we disabled it in v0.96 or v0.95 (we posted it as one of the changes) as there were issues when showing single digit hours. An option has been added for the next version which allows you to re-display it if you want.

I'm pretty sure you're issues are memory related. Have you tried disabling fanart, hiding thumbs in the Option Menu and changing to the Alt Default font (or Alt Bigger if you prefer) as all of these will reduce memory usage and will hopefully allow you to play media as you wish.

I dont know about you guys but im still using 0.94 as it works fine with fanart and thumbs etc for me on my xbox.

95 and 96 were a no hoper for me. Im still to try .97.

But as stated earlier, the reason im using this skin is coz of the cool fanart\thumb\movie info integration. If I have to remove fanart etc, well im not too sure I would keep using this skin Sad

which is unfortunate, coz i think its the best with how it shows fanart\thumbs etc.

Is it possible teamrazor that you guys optimize a version for the xbox ? This would rock, as i think the majority of XBMC users in general use the xbox platform.

thanks for the quick reply skunkmonkee

yeah i agree with you on the scrolling, but it kinda drags attracts my attention a little because it doesnt fit! anyways i cant wait till the next release with those minor bugs fixed, but i guess i might be waiting a little longer for a xbmc update to fix the font issues.

Not sure this would technically be classified as a bug, but when using custom background folders on the home screen, I noticed that whenever you move focus away from a menu item (ie, tv shows, settings, music, etc) and then move it back, no matter how long you had focus on something else (as long as its more than just a second or two), when you return to that menu item, it will show the backdrop that was displayed when it had focus earlier for a split second before quickly fading to a new one. I don't think this is preferred behavior, especially if you let your menu sit at all, then next time you try to navigate through it all you see is a bunch of constantly fading images. For a possible source of some code you could steal to make it refresh the multiimage each time you move away, you might try looking at Horizonz code as I know it doesn't have this problem. It's a different image each time an item regains focus. Let me know if I need to explain this better..

Something along those lines has been implemented for the next release:

Couple 4:3 bugs - maui917 - 2008-11-14 23:57

The cover flow reflection images don't line up with the above image, I brought this up once before but didn't have a screen shot to back it up.

A new bug from the .97 release is that the menu title is way off to the left side. In 4:3 the text has always run out side the bounds of the box, but the menu title did used to be centered in older releases.

Sounds good, is there an easy way to make the overlay more transparent?
