not sure what you are trying to point to - those posts on that page are all almost a year old.

Have you used the same link as I do? http://forum.xbmc.org/showpost.php?p=793016&postcount=364

This entry is from 09 May 2011 and says that the nightly versions have problems with the logo downloader.

that's not the link you initially posted. Smile

All good.

Music - shelf view comments - benobi - 2011-05-14 10:09

hello stoli,

First things first, thanks for the awesome skin. It is now my main skin and I really really enjoy it. The video views are really complete and neat. Congrats for the nice work.

Now, I have a couple of comments about the shelf view for music. I really like that type of view, in my mind they are convenient to browse and find quickly music albums. I still remember the old wall view in the original mediastream.

As for your shelf view, two things bug me. I find the view a little too dark (particularly on the sides) and that makes it harder to find some albums quickly. The one album selected really stands out though, but if you have to browse each individual album, you loose the main advantage of this view, which is the quick overall look at many albums to find the one you want. One past solution was to make the selected album a little bigger, I found that pretty clever. One of the confluence mod has implemented that.

Then, in that same view, the music fan art create a weird 'flashing' experience. Since you see it only on the sides of the 'shelf', when light and dark fanart alternate while browsing, it creates a weird visual feeling (I should mention I am not epileptic Wink

. Having the possibility to disable fanart in that view would be great. The fanart also sometimes makes it hard to view the star rating.

Thanks for taking the time to read that!

Just start using Neon over Night, Good stuff.
Here few bugs I've found.

No Hebrew, even when selecting Neon - All languages. Night also have this problem. it's shows like this:

and 3 little miss placed position:

I also love the recent view but since it have sort by option this name is confusing.

- stoli - 2011-05-16 00:25

I've changed the "all languages" font so Hebrew should work now - note that I have not made any adjustments, so font sizing and positioning are off in quite a few locations.

The settings screens have been fixed - still need to get the video dialog done.

Thanks,
