This skin is shapeing up very quickley it sounds like you have thought of everything the only thing i personally would ask is for some kind of support for SD 16/9 and i know running any skin in the 720p mode makes the fonts unreadable in most places just found that problem with version4 of horizon. keep it going

+1 for SD support.



How does this flow? As in, when I highlight 'artists', do I press down and see a list or do I 'click' to see the list? After I select an artist from the list below, does a list of albums from that artist appear under the 'main' heading of artists still?

I'm not really sure how to word the question... maybe you could post a shot of what it looks like after you select an artist?

Pressing down/clicking from any of the categories will start you out at the root of that list.

Selecting something from that category will jump you to the next section and populate. Here's a progression starting from genres and going to picking a song from the songs section.

The Now playing ss is a different song/album than highlighted...technical difficulties. Big Grin

That's how I was hoping it would work. Looking forward to the release

Ok, I have a feature request.

I like the look of Aeon and MediaStream, but I have one big beef with them.

They give you to many options to use while on screen. Meaning if you click in the video area and view your movies. You click down something happens, if you click up another menu pops up or I should say slides out of the pane on the right. The wife got so frustrated with it now I'm back to PM3HD because there is to much opening and closing and depending on what view your in it gets confusing shuting things off or clearing them from the screen.

Use the Info button and/or the Title button thats what they are for. Wink

Maybe there are things in the settings to disable some of it, but well I haven't had the luxury/time to look, but will some time.

Digital,

I'm having issues viewing the images. Is this skin going to work sorta like the start button in windows? Depending on where you are on the Start button it will open up the correct > to the next area? Meaning if you tap left or right it will jump to the next Area like Movies, Weather and so forth? If so thats kinda cool, if not you really got my intrest up. Wink

You do know that the options menu in MediaStream (info doesn't display in MS without pressing the info button) can be turned off in the settings don't you?

Here's a video. The screencap software sucked, so the album pictures and now playing pictures don't show up...as well as the conditional weather backgrounds...

Basically, what you see in the menus is *about* it for what will be there by default. What you can add will be entirely up to you. Some of the plugins are just there for the crap of seeing how it worked too.
