[RELEASE] Rapier 4.00 RC1

[b Wrote:#02.[/b] Home Screen: Would it be possible to at a subtle "up" arrow (or something) above the home screen selections, indicating that there's a submenu. Right now, it's hidden to the user... and there is no way of knowing that pushing "up" on the home screen menus allows extra options, unless of course you've used Rapier before, or accidentally push UP! haha... as you can see, it's confusing.
EXAMPLE:

The little Menu bit does look really nice, fits perfectly with the look of the Skin too so it's not out of place.

i haven't installed the skin yet. but it seems to be very nice!!
one question: is there a seperate category for HD-movies?

i will install the skin within the next days when i'll be back at home.

where to add / edit studio logos in the media folder of the skin?

I have two additional issues:

In the pre-Dharma version, the menuitem "videos" led to the "files" view. Now it seems to direct to the last viewed state, e.g. when i was in "tv shows", "videos" opens the same view. The "files" view was way better in this. To get there now, one has to open the sub-items via "up" and choose files there.

Second, the smooth animation of the selection bar in lists adds some kind of annoying delay. It would be better to disable this, or make it optional...

Other than that, im FINALLY back to my favorite skin!

Keep up the great work!

This is an awesome skin. Installed it to try it out and still with it.

The only request I have is volume level during video playback. Shows in menus and all that but not during playback.

Just been trying this on my ATV2, seems to be running okay, I do have a few questions though;

Main Menu

Just wondered if there would be a way to disable sub-menu items just as there is a way to add them? I don't really want any of the default ones under Videos, but would like to add some custom ones.

TV Shows

[1] When viewing TV Shows and your in the screen to select the season the only way you can see the ones you have fully watched (with overlay) is when using Thumbnails, could this be added to the other views in someway please as I like the look of Big Icon but really like to know if I have fully watched the season or not.

[2] Could an overlay to show a TV Show has been fully watched be added to the Wide Icon view as it is in the List Info 2 view?

All Views

Maybe I missed this, or maybe it isn't actually there but I just wondered if there would be a way to hide the breadcrumbs?

-----

Other than the above the skin seems to perform really well and looks fantastic. Will keep testing it, as i've not actually played any media as yet. Great Work so far!!

I feel the need to echo everyone else here - the skin is fantastically fast. Thumbs for TV and movies load very fast, its a pleasure to browse a huge (200+ TV shows and 1200ish movies) library with.

First - This one is nice and fast. Good work.

Second - I agree with the need for a submenu indicator (this is also needed for touch screens). And the one "loggio" made looks very nice. Maybe something like that can also bee added to the top menu? (again for touch screens)

Third - Can you merge the movies and video menu? (or is it fully costumizable so that I can do that my self?)

Fourth - I need a view that shows the fanart more. (just with covers and fanart and the bottom bar showing the labels if hovering the movie for a longer time - and no text. The view from the second screenshot with iron man 2 would be nice for this - just lower the cover row and remove the text)

Brillinat work so far.

holly cow, THE BEST!!

Could i request a PVR version of this skin??
it's killing me to know how much i love this skin, and how i cannot use it because i'm using PVR builds :-(

pretty pretty please??
haha

I would like to add pvr support but I do not use this feature and have no means to skin it without being able to visually test it. I would endorse anyone who wants to take up the challenge and add support for it though.
