With the next aired script, I have noticed that on completed series (stargate is a perfect example) it doesn't bring up the next aired block which is great, but once you have a movie linked to the series the next aired block pops up when you highlight the movie, even though the block is empty.

most likely my fault....i'll look into it.

cheers!

If I were to switch from the official version to the SVN, how do I copy my settings over?

you don't have to.
updating the skin won't touch your settings.

I downloaded it from Passion-XMBC's addon repo, so it is in a directory skin.transparency.SVN instead of just skin.transparency

XBMC didn't recognize it as the same.

Roni, I wanted to ask if the Blue Box in the backdrop of the log-off buttons (and the drop down) and the Blue box in Video now playing 'player' might be modified to either a nice transparent licorice black as you have done in other areas, or eliminated altogether. Just a casual request... I like the highlight blue in most places, it's this dark plastic blue that cheapens the interface for me. A nice upscale would be a brushed metal look, with a drop of lighter chrome, but one thing at a time.

i may be looking in the wrong places, but i don't see it,
so a screenshot would be helpful.

who knows...sometimes i suddenly grow tired of some textures and decide to change them right away.
but nothings planned at this point. feel free to provide a better alternative...
i'm always open to suggestions.

Even if the actual OSD & Mediaflags buttons/labels are looking great and I don't feel the "cheap" in it (they are fine to me) it could be worth a try to see what a brushed metal look would give, in an "Apple" style, but since we have to stick to transparency I wonder how it could be feasable to have transparent brushed metal Undecided

Transparent aluminum.... I'm working on it but it's hard to machine.
