oh ok,

if you want any help with icons/images though let me know. would be nice to contribute something back to this awesome skin.

One more thing, i installed neon SVN form passion xbmc. is it better to have the GIT version?

Passion is git, just a day later. :-). Thanks for the help offer.

I'd buy you a beer if I could Big Grin

I don't understand how somebody can dislike the font, especially how it could be compared to comic sans (seriously?), I think it's excellent.

Would it be possible to add some more views to the Videos window? Now there's only files, wall and poster, I think. I have a couple of video plugins that would benefit from the media info view for example.

And one minor thing: I like how the media flags show on the pause/info screen in Confluence, is this something you've considered? E.g when I'm viewing a youtube video, I wonder "hey, is this really 720p?" and I could just press I. I know most of the info is available with "o", but still.

Have been enjoying this skin for several weeks now. Lately however, I seem to have an issue when play Music. I start XBMC, select Music (shows the background piano keys after selection) but is now very very dark, you can barely make out the white keys until I use the Back key once, then it finally displays the Music view correctly. I'm using the latest 32 bit XBMC build from 4/22. Thanks for any ideas

Stoli, any ideas? I grabbed the latest build from git today & it still does the same thing: When I select music from the main menu (curved piano keyboard), my screen goes dark, and I cannot navigate to my music at all. I can see a very faint image of the piano keyboard,that is all I'm completely unable to play any music using this skin now.Sad

updated: eh, I figured out that it was the nightly builds messing it up. I'm back to 10.1 again & all is normal again.

I'm going to do a little bit of cleanup and then a submission to the official repo this week. Next week ill start an Eden build.

stoli Wrote:Those will be going away - I don't like the trailers starting from the view itself. For consistency sake starting of trailers will be confined to the "I"nfo screen.

That is a shame, I really like being able to launch a trailer from wahtever browse movie view I am in. Can you at least give an indication if there is a trailer available somewhere on the screen? I hate to click 'i' only to find no trailer exists for that movie. But if I had a vote, i would say keep trailer availability and launch available in certain views.

I don't mind the down for info, down for trailer. how to stop a trailer does not need instruction in my opinion as it is the same way you stop a movie or any other video, should already be understood.

BTW, i like the font. How clean the menu bar looks is one of the reasons I like Neon.

EDIT:
One more thought on the trailer issue: I think many use a remote versus a keyboard to control xbmc. Taking away ability to launch trailers with equivilant of arrow keys means no access to trailers without your keyboard. that may be a deal breaker for many.

Stoli have you seen the below changes to get TvTunes working again?

I changed it in my ./xbmc/skin.neon/720p/MyVideoNav.xml and back to working


--- <onfocus>XBMC.RunScript(script.TvTunes,backend=True)</onfocus>
+++ <onfocus>XBMC.RunScript(script.tvtunes,backend=True)</onfocus>
