Jeroen,
I really like your skin... simple, elegant, and very fast.
I'd like to make a few small requests for those of us with bad eyes and that sit far from the TV...
Can you make an option for larger fonts?
- List view it is difficult to see.
- the screen labels, time, etc... very small for me, hard to see.
Can you had an option for a horizontal menu?
- the current menu is more difficult to see, the words are very close together.
- something like the old AEON horizontal menu (with your take on it) would be nice.
thanks!

reFocus is great but I cant seem to access my scripts anywhere anyone know where I can find them?

Livin Wrote:Jeroen,I have no plans for bigger fonts to be honest. I have no trouble with readability from just under a 10 feet distance. I am however in the process of restructuring the fontset. Starting with the next release it should be quite easy for you to change the fonts of specific elements to your liking by simple edits in the fonts.xml file.

Quote:Can you had an option for a horizontal menu?I currently have no plans for an alternate homescreen. And if there's ever going to be one, it would not be like you describe as I'm not a fan of menus where you have to "guess" what comes next in the menu.

Scripts and plugins are now add-ons and are part of the new add-ons system to be introduced officially in the next XBMX milestone release. Therefore there is no scripts window anymore. Both types are accessed through their parent node. So for example video add-ons in the video library and music add-ons in the music library.
In any case it's an XBMC change and not directly related to reFocus.

While it's true that separate "scripts and plugins" are now part of the add-ons system; people trying to run reFocus on pre-add-on builds of XBMC (ie Camelot) may still be trying to find scripts under the accessories menu option. I know I was looking for it since the first release had it and now its gone.
I simply added a scripts menu item myself to hold me over until Dharma is released and then I'll upgrade so I can use the add-on system. I can only imagine how hard releasing skins must be at this point with the add-on system not officially released as a stable build; it is a rather big change and people who haven't yet made the transition sure make things difficult.

Hi Jeroen I understand xbox should not be brought up on these forums any more but is there any chance you could do something about this for us xbox users? The skin is amazing and works brilliant on xbox(seriously good). Said I wanted to ask nicely if you could do us old xbox users a favour.

I know I was looking for it since the first release had it and now its gone.Maybe, but reFocus is really meant as a Dharma skin. Maintaining compatibility with Camelot has never been a goal for me. It had the script entry in the first version, but during the development after that programs and scripts were merged so it was removed. I try to follow xbmc development as closely as possible so that it will be fully compatible when Dharma is released.

The skin is amazing and works brilliant on xbox(seriously good). Said I wanted to ask nicely if you could do us old xbox users a favour.The problem is that it takes more than just an entry in the main menu to maintain compatibility. It's also the scripts window and various dialogs that have been removed from XBMC or have been replaced that need to be maintained. And when windows have been removed it's kind of hard to ensure they work properly. It would mean either me skinning "blind" or keep testing every release on a camelot install.
And while XBMC development continues to differentiate from XBMC4XBOX this will continue to become more and more difficult.
So, the best thing to do imo would be for someone from the xbox community to port future versions to the xbox. When that is all you need to focus on, it shouldn't be too hard.

Jeroen, I really like your media flags - DTS, 720p, 1080p etc. etc.
Would you consider doing some for HD audio tracks (DTS-HD, Dolby TrueHD, LPCM etc.)?
I have quite a few Blu-ray's by now in XBMC, that all have these HD audio tracks on them.
I don't know how much time/effort goes into making them, so if it takes a lot of time, I can understand if you would rather spend it on something else.
PS. an icon for "web-dl" (iTunes HD series) would be cool too... OK, I'll stop now, hehe.. Keep up the good work!
Thanks

Hi Jeroen,
Love the skin man. Im using it on both my systems and am VERY pleased with how they look. One thing ive noticed though is that the only way to get to movie or tv show sub menus with genre, title, year is to enter either library, backspace once then re-enter the library from the sub menu. Is it possible to skip that extra step and have it go directly to movies sub menu after selecting movies? hope i explained that right.

It depends. Are they recognized as such by XBMC or do they rely on filenames to be recognized? Because in the latter it would require coding in conditions for every type. Not sure if I want to go there.

I'm not sure if I understand what you mean. Instead of going to the actual movielist after hitting Movies on the homescreen menu you want it to go to the movie library "root"?
