Ken Burns effect doesn't seem to be working for TV Show and Movie fanart.

It's not supposed to. Smile The only place it is currently enabled is on the home screen. I'll look to add it to the other sections.

This skin is awesome. I just stumbled across it in the repository. I don't know if this feature has been requested but can you put in support for advanced launcher? Thanks!

It's on my list...can't promise when it will make it in, but in the next couple of weeks for certain.

Lol, I guess you can't please everyone. I, for one, would like the KB effect to be as it is now, and have the other backgrounds constant.
Btw, thanks for the landscape script-fix, works like a charm.

First of all, I love your skin. It works well with my setup, and looks very clean and nice.

This may or may not be skin-related, but I had a couple feature requests -- I presently have Movies, TV Shows, Addons, Settings, Weather, and Shutdown on my main menu, and every time I boot up, it stats out on Addons. Is there any way to change this to start on something different, in maybe a config file somewhere or something? I'd prefer it to be on Movies or TV Shows by default.

Another question, as my computer (mac mini) is often transcoding/downloading/whatnot in the background, I find the shut down button awfully easy to hit on accident instead of pressing down, going to exit, then clicking. Is there any way to change the behavior of shut down to just exit xbmc instead? Or just hide shut down and create a custom home entry that just exits?

If either of these aren't skin-related, sorry, just let me know and I will go ask my question in a more appropriate place.

Something weird I recently noticed, but no big deal, is that only some of my episodes in the TV show library (seemingly random) have the show logo while browsing a season, while the others only have the episode title written with font. Additionaly, TVtunes only works when I select the ones with a proper logo.

Probably not something specific to the skin, but anyway: Confused

Check the paths of those that work vs those that don't. I'm guessing there is something different, i.e. /show/season/eps01e01.mkv vs. show/eps01e01.mkv. If that is the case, I should be able to fix it.

It simply focuses on the second item in the list on screen, which is what is centered. You can change this by editing the Includes_Home_Horizontal.xml file and just cut and paste the items between lines 56 and 268.

Basically if you wanted to move TV Shows after Addons you would want to grab lines 96-102:
Code:
<item id="26">
    <label>Live TV</label>
    <onclick>ActivateWindow(TV)</onclick>
    <icon>backgrounds/tv.jpg</icon>
    <thumb>$INFO[Skin.String(Home_Custom_Back_TV_Folder)]</thumb>
    <visible>!Skin.HasSetting(HomeNoMenuLiveTV)</visible>
</item>
and paste it before line 208.

Settings > System > Power saving > Shutdown Function and then you can change the behavior.

Hope this helps!

You were right, the shows without logo are either from rar:\\, or from my second harddrive.

Brilliant. Thank you very much! I've now "fixed" the Shutdown button (and feel silly that I did not see that in settings before), and reordered my homescreen to be how I like it.
