@The_Dogg - I'll work on cleaning that up...and see what can and cannot be displayed.

- The_Dogg - 2011-01-06

For the Smart playlist, I noticed it doesn't match the rest of the skin, and doesn't follow the color scheme chose in settings (currently set to Dodger Blue)

And white on white is pretty hard to read when adding a rule

and finally a screenshot of your bluray/dvd covers in slim list

The posters are being cropped a little on the height and are sometimes not large enough to fill the cover(only for bluray) (it could be my configuration but it does it for most of my posters

I'm just posting this as an FYI, I still love your skin Wink

consider this a professional deformation, I'm a QA so reporting bugs just come naturally Wink

Keep up the good work

Yeah - I figured there would be problems with the dvd covers. I'm working with 16:10 at the office and haven't taken the time to fix it once at home. I *know* I will have some time tonight to get that worked out.

As for the smart playlist - thanks for reminding me. I noticed that the other day when I 'fixed' it and forgot about the colors...

Is there a way to have extension files display (like night skin).

exemple, logo avi for avi files, matrocka for mkv ...

I find this nice !!

Thanks

Do you mean media flags/icons? Maybe a screenshot would help.

- jeepcook - 2011-01-06

OK, for example, night skin display this for matroska files:

and this for avi files:

I find theses logos very nice !!

Love the skin.

Some remarks, questions. No offence intended and ofcourse, these are my personal taste so feel free to ignore me. Tongue

Also, any chance the navigation sounds will be changed? Scrolling sounds are not that bad, altho the difference between up and down seem to be rather distinct. But the select and especially the 'go back' samples are not very pleasant to hear.

All comments are good. :-)

To be honest, I don't use the navigation sounds, so I'd be more than happy to entertain new sound effects. I've seen posts in the past with links to new sound packs... I think there was one in the first few pages of this thread where someone offered new sounds as well.

Quote:Is there a way to set a delay for XBMC (or the skin) to load fanart? Like a few miliseconds? That prevents XBCM from loading every fanart picture while scrolling though XBMC using EventGhost.

You could create a new animation that has a delay, but I think overall it will look worse that way. What's the exact problem? Have your tried enabling dds fanart?

DVD Covers are fixed in Slim Files view and JackieBrown confirmed the Lock Sources is working correctly now as well.

More updates to come this weekend...

Edit: Something went wrong yet again with Git. While I watched the files upload, they are not there. Will push again tonight.

Sorry for the delay.

Today, xbmc has updated neon skin with the last svn from passion-xbmc repository, now I've lost all ratio button and the Highlighted menus ...

here are screenshots:

As noted previously in this thread there are bugs with the auto-update process of the active skin. Switch to Confluence and then reinstall the skin.

This is a known xbmc bug. The best solution is to turn auto updates off and when an update is available, switch to a different skin and then manually update.

Thanks,

updated! Huh

- supertom44 - 2011-01-09

Would t be possible to have a fall-back image for the tv shows thumb. I use the fanart view and the recently added script but when no thumb s shown for the new episode it looks a little strange.

- stoli - 2011-01-10

@super tom - that shouldn't be a problem for me to add in.

@All - sorry no updates this weekend. Worked a bunch on a new view and it just didn't work out as I had envisioned. I'm going to focus on the bugs and few remaining dialogs that have to get updated and try and get this in the official repo before adding any major new features.

What's the consensus on DVD/Bluray case overlays? I've only added them to the slim list view so far but if they are liked, I'll add them in all views before submitting for acceptance in the repo.
