Absolutely; Confluence works just fine if you want to try that skin. Queue up like 5 episodes of something for instance, then go to "Now Playing" and shuffle the items, you'll see it randomizes your queued episodes.
Sounds trivial, but I use it all the time to queue a bunch of TV shows and randomize them to help me fall asleep
Thanks for looking into it! Much appreciated!

it doesn't look too bad... here is the wiki page:
http://wiki.xbmc.org/index.php?title=Official_Addons_Repository
Looks like ideally they'd like you to use Git or SVN, but you can simply submit a zip file.
You have to have a license file, but you can just copy the creative commons one that is all of two sentences. May want to PM scarfa about that... not really sure how all the licensing works out. The addon.xml file will also require a version bump with each update.
Then you just join the mailing list and send them a link.
This would definitely make it easier to update. Just turn on the box and it'll auto-download the new skin.

Kyle Reese Wrote:As usual, amazing skin; keep up the great work!
My only issue with the skin as it stands is that the shuffle function does not work in video playlists; if you click on "shuffle" nothing happens. I've tested this on 3 different machines, from macs to PCs and it doesn't work on any of them (other skins do shuffle, however).
Any chance of getting that fixed? Thanks!
It works but it is buggy. I use the feature also when I queue seasons of TV shows. The indicator that tells you if your shows are shuffle does not show the correct status sometimes. Just keep hitting shuffle then check you playlist.

I've tried doing that while I was actually looking at the playlist itself, the order never seems to change. Every once in a blue moon I can get the shuffle to work by continuously setting the playlist to shuffle mode before I add items to it and then it will shuffle them; but that never works often enough to use it as a workaround.

No addon config dialog - NOW ADDED will be in next upload.
Subtitle offset dialog shoud be at top - Can you explain, I don't use subtitles?
Notifications dialog is too small - Whic dialog and what size TV are you using?

This is a screenshot of the subtitle offset dialog, as you can see is over the subtitles, and makes difficult to syncronize them:

You can find the dialog in audio settings, confluence allready has it at the top
About the notifications dialog, for example when an addon update is avaliable, at the top left of the screen appears the notification, sometimes is hard to read the info, the dialog width is half the message width
With this two things I will definitely switch to your mod!

Would it not make more sense for me to just move it up an inch. That way you do not have to flick your eyes from top to bottom when making adjustments?

Actually, I read the subtitles and hear the dialogs at the same time to sync them, so the offset dialog position is not really important, I usually read it once I have finished syncing to know how many seconds is delayed/ahead. To ensure It won't hide the subtitles the top is a good position

Good job!
I am using the skin on a MacMini with Dharma Beta 4. I don't see the top bar (but maybe thats meant to be) and I cant get to the skin settings. The system menu only shows the Appearance entry. So I can't change the backgrounds for example.
