To: Hitcher, before asking anything I'd just like to say that your skin is fantastic. I do not have much to give, but I have gladly given to Megan's Quest as you have requested. Also please do excuse the English, I am not a native speaker.
I do have a few small (I think) questions though, I am using the Unicode mod. I have tried Google search and forum search but I do not seem to be able to answer these. Or perhaps I am just quite stupid!
1) Where, if anywhere, are the flags located? I have found reference in the xml files to hdtv.png files etc. but have been unable to locate them in %appdata% or Program Files (Win 7). I found a post stating that the flags relied on there being either a /studio or /flags directory, but I am unable to find these. I assume they must exist somewhere, as some files show with flags? It would be excellent to fix the gaps in my library.
2) Is it possible to remove the star ratings and/or the age classification from the skin views, through the xml edits? Sort of a 'half' version of the 'Hide Media Info' option.
3) Are trailers supposed to work automatically? I see an option for them in the view menu, but it is 'greyed' out. Searching the 'Alaska' forum says a lot about the Apple trailer add-on, which I have installed from the XBMC Official Add-ons section.
4) There are some titles (example: Family Guy: Something, Something, Something Darkside) that do not have enough space. In this example, 'side' is cut off. Is there an edit I can make to reduce this size to fit? Similarly, under the 'Info' view, the 'Starring' field can sometimes be too small for the information from the scrapers.
5) Is there danger in me editing xml to remove profiles?
Thank you again for your skins, and I hope these questions are not too much trouble!
