Ahh yeah i see it now. They way you choose to align is better Big Grin

Looking good fella! I'd like to be able to swap recently added shortcuts for random as well, would be a nice alternative. Overall really good though- just what I was hoping for really.
What's on the roadmap for the future? Any chance of PVR compatibility? Do you want any help with the icon pixels - or is that in hand now...

Thanks for a great fast skin!

I did noticed on issue with the latest release.
It appears that the poster option does not work for TV Shows
When I am in my TV shows area all that shows in the wide banner on bottom of screen then it goes to description. I can't get the banner to be replaced by a poster. The button in settings does not appear to do anything. This is the only bug I have run across so far. Great work on the skin though its very very fast under ATV2.

Thanks. I'll take a look.

EDIT: TV Posters works for me, as long as I select prefer Posters in skin setting/general. Please post some more info about what seams to be the problem for you.

Thanks for this skin, great job for someone who doesn't call himself a skin maker. Big Grin
I just found one small bug, always show clock appears twice and also, not sure if it's a bug, but info panel:small fanart affects both movies and TV shows, can that be made separate?

Thanks. I really don't like "skinner" too much:-)

Thanks.

Yeah, those are good questions. Let me try to answer with some explanation added.

I waited a long time for a similar skin to appear as I was always unsatisfied (partially as I'm that kind of a person) with skins a have tried. They either looked good but was harder to use or it was the other way around. If somehow a skin provided a reasonable compromise between these two requirements, it was laggy. This of course is to a great extent just matter of personal taste.

Skin I made solves all this - at least for me and my family it does. To be quite frank, from my point of view, there is nothing to add and a work I'm doing now is primarily aimed as contribution to community.

If it proves that there is an user database out there that like to use this kind of a skin, I'll try my best to keep it going. I will also need some from community with graphics and to some extent with coding. I have no use for PVR ATM, nor do I have means to test it out.

Still, if someone is willing to do it, I will gladly make it a part of a skin. The same goes about graphics. In other words - let's do it together as log as it stays in boundaries of this skin philosophy - simple, elegant and thin.

What I would like to do in most recent future is to provide a set of folder icons (what you see when browsing library or files), change the rest of OSD icons (circled ones) and provide Plexbmc support. And probably add those random items... ;-)

I've been looking for a good, light skin for my ATV2. So far I'm using Confluence but it's just not right. Is this any faster?

Custom Home items - So I can add, say Icefilms to the Home Screen? I

f this is fast on ATV2 then I think this is exactly what I've been looking for.
