1) Would still like to see Coverflow and Banner mods for both Movie and TV fanart views as I suggested when I first saw the screenshots.

2) When displaying the Movie or TV show detailed info window, it would be better to clear the GUI (except for Fanart) from the previous display, because the text of what was on the OSD previously gets overlain by a new semi-transparent window, which leaves the original OSD/text still somewhat visible and looks messy/distracting

3) Same goes for bringing up the info bar while a movie is paused - it overlays the pause bar which remains semi-visible below and looks messy.

4) When using the "Recenely Added" view for movies, there's only one view available (Wall iirc) - would like all of the same views as with regular library available (including, did I mention, Coverflow? :-).

5) As pointed out in a message just above, the Bluray Icon falls off the OSD, could do a general clean up of icon and info placement in many of the screens, in numerous cases they are either off or inconsistent, but that's likely just a case of early development that will come as things get tweaked.

6) When viewing Movie Info Details, there's no button for Cast like in most other skins - would like to see that functionality

7) Also in Movie and TV Show Details, would like to see the file path/name (helps to troubleshoot network problems with multiple machines that have multiple harddrives in them (I have 4 machines with about 20 HD's serving video via Windblows SMB shares, sometimes I need to know exactly where a particular file is sitting).

That's about all I can remember for now.

I LIKE IT SO FAR!

Good luck with your
skin

Crookas Wrote:Actually, I just realised that I only deleted the code - the graphics are actually still in the textures file. They are called bluray.png, dvd.png, and hddvd.png - if you are so inclined you can search the ViewsVideoRightlist.xml for "case" until you find the right block of code and just change that a bit. Up to you.
