ZombieRobot Wrote:Little sneak peek of what i have been working on lately for my eden build.
Things are not dead here just slow going but thought i would share some new screens.
To do:

- Add dynamic coverflow to all views
- Extra fanart
- Artist slideshow

Well we all have real lives so everyone using xbmc/skins/add-ons should just be patient (although sometimes it's frustrating :rolleyesSmile
Keep up the great job.

May I suggest a small add-on we made for downloading the extrafanart Wink
Extrathumbs downloading will follow soon.

Thanks Machine-Sanctum i saw that butchabay had a extra fanart button in his next release of cirrus extended was going to ask him about it.

Will look into adding extra fanart/your addon today.

I've been shadowing this skin for over a year while i waited for the right time to get my HTPC - it looks awesome! My problem is: i've installed the 10.1 "Dharma" build of XBMC with the Dharma build of Showmix on a new install of Win 7 64-bit, but while all other skins work, showmix is a jumbled mess on the main selection screens. I can't see enough to go any further as the headings are either visible, half-visible, or invisible in-front of a black screen. Once chosen as the skin i have to uninstall XBMC as i can't find the page (can't see it anyway) to chose another skin.

I don't think i'm doing anything wrong, so i'm (very) confused. Is this problem limited to me?
