amazing work stoli!

fyi, i still don't see the media type icon for music i.e., mp3, aac... maybe it's just my setup?

They should be in \addons\skin.neon\media\flagging\audio

I'm seriously thinking of switching to this skin for my full time skin! Great work!

I do have one request, though it's not a deal breaker. Is there any way to customize the home submenus? Can we add more favorites than one? Can we remove what's there already by default?

Yes Yes and Yes. Smile

Wahoo!
Stoli, I'm (finally!) going to make a PseudoTV skin for Neon. Which color set would you like me to use? The default one? Anything you'd like to see on it?

I have to plead ignorance on PseudoTV, but if skinning it like the appletv addon whereby they are just new xmls to be included with the core skin just use <mainblue> as the primary color. That will then change with whatever color a user selects...

Alright. Good to know! Check it out though, it's great takes all your library and turns them into tv channels!

I'm assuming this is the correct icon? Anywhere else I could look to fix this?

This skin is based on night am I right? there is a night mod for Advanced Launcher

It is - most views should adapt well except font labels.

Stoli, any help on how to increase the font in Album View? I didnt see any xml in the skin folder.

BTW, after having lived with the latest Music now playing screen, here are my thoughts:

1. I think the progress bar should be underneath the time display
2. The time display should be much smaller
3. The Track name should be right below the Artist name with the Album underneath the Track
4. Instead of Up Next for the next track, use "Next"
5. When the last song of the play list is playing, the "Second" (or "Up Next") should not be displayed
6. Is the Up Next and Second text even needed? The user can clearly see the two next songs displayed on the right side of the screen.

Anyway, just my opinion on your already awesome skin.

Just discovered this awesome skin! The only thing that's making it incomplete for me is the lack of support for CD art -- unless I'm just not seeing it in the menu options. Fantastic work!

If you have art in place it is used, there are no settings for it. I believe the only place it is used at this point is in the music vis.
