In that usability test, did they find it any easier to go into videos and then toggle between files and library modes? To me, that is where having only 1 link falls down as having a toggle on a (hidden) inner menu is not an ideal way to approach it either.
I guess there may be an argument for having 2 links on the home screen, one for Video Files and one for Video Library? (Personally I still prefer the 3 but that's because I've gotten used to it)
+1. I've said it once and I'll say it again. Media Center applications AREN'T for everyone. You have to take the time to obtain/rip your content, do coverart, and manage everything constantly. If it's not your thing, then I'd suggest sticking with WMC. The 3 video links on the home screen could at least be enabled under settings.

WOW!
today downloaded you 0.8.8 version...and I must say:
IT ROCKZ!
- native media flagging is utlimately cool and something I was looking for quite a while now. Did not know it was already possible without running a media manger of some kind!
- videos displayed in home screen looks sweet too...
you bring it altogether man!
I 'll be tracking this skin from now!
thanks!

Whoop Whoop nice one Jezz...
Time for me (or anyone else) to update the horiz menu mod.!
- Jezz_X - 2009-07-07 15:13
Yeah this will be the last version for a while unless anyone finds a huge bug so you should have a bit of time before you need to update it again
