Thank you very much!

Hi Pecinko,

been using more and more parts of the quartz skin and aside from some caching issues with new movie/tv show/album thumbs on the main menu page (reloading makes them show up) I'm loving it more and more.

Would it be possible to allow an option to set custom thumb for favourites/addons in the shelves? I find that some logos are quite ugly, some get mangled/cut up (when not square) and some favourites just don't have a thumb/logo, so if I have them in a shelf they have no image. Also, would it be possible to get favourites/addons in the XBMC shelf?

Hey mate, caching issues are XBMC related, nothing to do with a skin.

As for custom thumbs on shelf, only way to do it without breaking existing layout in settings would be to automatically bring up image browser after you set favorite, regardless of the need and without possibility for a user to skip it. I had this in Quartz 1, I think, but it is a bit confusing as you assign your shortcut and file browser opens up without any description or hint.

I have asked for this possibility to be added to context menu in favorites so please vote here if you want it http://trac.xbmc.org/ticket/12045

In the meantime you should be able to achieve this through manually editing favorites.xml

1. In order to populate menus with items of your choice, you need to add them to your favourites first.

Great skin but i would need help with this. Ho do i change the menu row having the video addons in it, is this possible? Mean, how can i assign the whole section "Video Addons" to the favorites instead of a single plugin?

You have to do it one by one, XBMC does not support this natively so skins are using script to copy-paste items from favourites, one at a time. First 5 items are being copied from add ons so you don't need to add those to favorites.

After playing around in the skin settings i got it managed now, looks great. I have to say that Quartz is the perfect skin for ATV2. I like the style of Apple's front row

Thank you !
