Hi Pecinko,
I did the initial testing on my ATV2. The skin is snappy and looks more "polished" than the nox. I am using original apple remote control that came with the unit. Now to the feedback:
1. +/- options under settings look very similar to check boxes
Example: In the Settings/Appearance/Skin I don't see a big difference between the arrows +/- (ie. Fonts) or checkbox (Show RSS news feeds). It would be better to use different shapes for different functions and maybe make checkbox square.
2. Backgrounds
You provide nice selection of backgrounds. I personally would prefer if you would also include grey/black background from the nox instead of the default grey one as I was constantly under impression that I didn't adjust the brightness on my TV correctly
3. Custom shortcuts
I just can't seem to get it working. I have icefilms addon installed and added to my favorites. It is visible if I look at the list of favorites under XBMC menu.
When I try to add this addon as a shortcut on the movies:
- I went to Settings/Quartz/Movies/Shortcuts and selected Custom
- Five empty slots appeared
- I clicked on the first slot and got to the screen where it says "Please, add items you wish to assign...". On the right hand side it only stands "List empty".
- If I press menu(to go back) I get to "browse for image" dialog.
- From that dialog if I press menu(to go back) I see the "Enter the new label" dialog
- Only now I can really go back by pressing Menu.
I don't see why I can't see my favorites. The same empty list is shown when I try to create shortcut in TV Series, Music or Add-ons. Also when I switch back to nox I can see and modify my shortcuts without any problems.
4. Two dots to see "parent folder items"
IMO these dots are too big. It is much nicer the way it is on the nox.
5. Main menu
I prefer the way menus are displayed in nox. The current main menu item should be highlighted IMO.
6. Dialogs with three rows
In occasions where addons use 3 rows for the custom dialogs, the last row is not correctly aligned. (Example: Do a fresh install of the icefilms addon and see the metadata containers dialog)
7. Buffering progress
Is not visible on this skin.
8. Download subtitles & viewing other options in OSD
I need to click on "..." to get to the option to download subtitles in the video OSD. I prefered the way it is on nox
As you can read, my comments are mainly cosmetic and can be attributed to "personal taste"
Great work!
