Improved blue glow menu highlight and mouse support on home screen
Added fanart view for episodes, files and music
Reverted buffer bar changes

Please report if I managed to fix blue glow on home screen.

Pecinko, how often, or when will you update the main XBMC repository with these updates? The master XBMC repository still has 3.2.2 I believe.

Just curious. Love the skin!

lol it wasn't meant as an insult Smile

it's just very clean.

Actually just some slightly variations, like blue/grey/red on the button glows would probably do it.

Basically so I can figure out which profile I'm looking at.

It's great though, you really have my appreciation.

Hello, it fixed the blue glow problem I already mentioned a few posts earlier on ATV2 Eden 11, now works perfectly! Wink

Since you added fanart view for music, would it be possible to have "Fanart 2" view also for it so it can display artist informations with fanart and artist thumbs? I find this view to be very elegant and practical.
Also, I think it has already been suggested once, but could it be possible to add numbers ratings next to the movie title in "Fanart 2"?
Thanks!

Is it possible to make the bottom black bar more transparent on fanart 2 so the fanart will show through a little more?. If it's just a change of the config files I can probably handle that. Just need to know where to look and what to change

Glad to hear!

Hi Pecinko,

by Timeline Skipping, you just can move the squared Cursor at any Point you want in the Timebar (Bufferbar). That make it possible to jump to any Time during Playback. That would be great, because i use the 7-Key Aluremote for XBMC Navigation (MacMini with Bootcamp and W7).

Not in an easy way. I'll make it a tad more transparent in next release.

It's not a setting or number that you can simply change... it's an image.
You can do that yourself in case pecinko prefers to keep it as is:
1) create a plain black background png to the transparency of your choice
2) edit the view_videos.xml file, and search for the word "Vignette" ....there are several entries so experiment until you find the one you want (I don't know the one for fanart 2 at the top of my head). You will see something like <texture>img/Vignette_somenumber.png</texture> ...change this to the image you created...eg <texture>c:\myimages\vignette.png</texture>

Edit: oops too late...just saw pecinko's reply Tongue

This is the whole idea of the skin - clean and focused on your media instead of on skin graphics.

I can add a label on home screen that would show currently logged user. I question necessity though, as

- if you use recently added items you can easily see active profile by type of movie on shelf
- if you use an image on shelf this is even more true
- I have disabled unnecessary menus in kid's profile - just another differentiation point

If you make a nice theme I will include it in a skin.

I will prepare last version and apply for an main repo update. It can take 2-8 days from the moment I apply till the moment it becomes available.
