Hi,

I Still Love this skin. I don't use it, but I like the looks a lot.
The main reason for me to not use it, is that I use XBMC a lot for music. And I have a very big music library. The views in Night are not ideal for a lot of artists/albums.
So my question: would you like to add that awesome 3d wallview for the music section?

@ Batemann

still the same use for xbmc with 80% music... and im also not really happy with the view, but i love this clean skin...

which 3d wallview du you meen?!

Another thing is that i dont like the switch from "now paying" to "next playing"; that a bit too hectic and restless; wish to have an constant showing "now playing" and a small box for "next playing" wich pop up from time to time...

One thing I wanted was to create some A-Z playlists that output Artists but unless I did something wrong I couldnt get that result. Like you click on the B playlist it'll take you to:

Blondie
Beastie Boys
Backstreet Boys
Bones Thugs and Harmony
etc...

But seems like you can only get it to output Albums, you can sort by Artists, but doesnt seem like you can have it output Artists...

I was talking about the 3dwallview Night has for movies. Hoped that could be made available for music as well...

And I agree with you on the Next playing. It's too restless indeed. Aeon has a small line under the now playing with "next" in it. Is cleaner I think.

Yes, I like the small line under the now playing Aeon has...

If I may add another tiny little thing: When opening submenus you can close them again with either up or down key presses (or the same thing on the remote). Only in TV Shows and Movies you have to press up, down won't work here. I know, this is really no problem, but if it isn't much work it would be another step to perfection. Wink
Oh, yes, and CPU Usage (in System Info summary screen) still gets cut, so I see:
Code:
CPU Usage: CPU0: 5.0% CPU1:...

Alright I believe I got it now, wonder if something changed in XBMC as what I had before worked - *I thoght*

Now, take horizontal Home(bottom) for example. Down goes back to Home, up goes to Recently added. Before down did nothing...

And system info looks like I don't have dual core on my coding computer so never noticed, fixed now...

Thank you very much for this small but GREAT update!!!

The Artist label for "Shelf" is great! and the fixes work perfectly!

Is it true that you stretch time for the "now playing"?! it looks loke the "Next playing" is shorter (same time till before) so the screen is much quieter!!! Thanx for that!

Have you considered enabling the user to remove items from the home sub menus. For example I never use director or actor or studio or hell most of the submenus on the movies or tvs, I'd prefer to just have the ones I added like my custom playlists and favourites.

Don't see it in the foreseeable future but one thing I try and stay away from is having tons and tons of settings. Like some skins all I want to do is check on/off a couple things and I hate having to navigating through tons of settings...
