[MOD] Horizontal Confluence Modded

Just installed it and noticed the added transparency of the codec icons. Nice.

What I like even more is that you gave us the option to remove both the dark floor and the XBMC logoin the home screen. That way I can still see the subtitles of my anime videos.

Though I am wondering if it's just me and my installation (latest Windows nightly), since the dark floor is nowhere to be seen, even with "Hide Floor" unchecked. A bug?

Hey boingman...

yes, there is a problem with the floor...will be fixed in the next release...
unfortunately I don't know when this will happen because pvr is in progress for the next version...let's see how fast I can get this integrated...

BTW: Glad that you like it....

cheers

Weird, when I try to download it via eden-pre repo xbmcnerds repo, I only get version 0.6.
Or is it not up yet?

V.0.8 is already up...checked this behaviour but can't reproduce it...you might hit the refresh button for the repo...

cheers,

Like your Mod, had a quick look at it today. If you don't mind I'm going to "steal" your Concerts idea. Have been wondering what todo about Music Videos.

Two small things, firstly I had not yet installed Ronies global search script so clicking on your search button nothing happened. I would suggest putting in a visible tag e.g.
or something.

The other thing I like your Showcase view but on the bottom left the age limit & studio icons are on top of each other.

Cheers

The refresh button was greyed out, but I got it to work by simply reinstalling XBMC after an Uninstall, incl. deleting my profile data.

I like the blueish status bar though, so I am sad to see it gone. I am satisfied with that smaller bar instead of the bigger one when skipping forward/backward in the video.
I also noticed that, when pausing the video and then browsing the submenus, the preview screenshot of the media info menu (I am not using the library mode, so there's no banner/poster) is actually overlaying two settings menu choices ("System" and "Skin").
Additionally, when I press "i" on the keyboard a second media info bar comes up and overlays the first one.
Yeah, so I think that I actually prefer version 0.6, probably because it was closer to the original Confluence skin. Sorry.
Regarding the weather info when highlighting the "weather" button in the home menu: Do I need to install the weather widget separately? Because I don't see any change. Maybe there's something wrong again in my installation.

@ mudislander:
thanks for the nice words...
regarding the search script: thanks for the hint...was something I did not think about...will take a look into it...
showcae-view? did you check in the skin-setting"german-mpaa rating"? If so just disable and try again...

@boingman:
the ovaerlaying info group when paused is a known issue...already fixed for the next release...

Can you send me a screenshot? did not get that...thanks...
Did you enable the weather-widget in homescreen via skin-settings?

sorry that you don't feel well with the new pause osd...this is one of my favorite mods right now...maybe you can port over the things you like from my mod to a standard-confluence and have a skin like you want it...if you nedd help, just drop a pm...

Okay.

Sure.

My bad, didn't know that I also needed to lower the menu. Now it works.

Well, to be honest, it would be great if you could allow me to continue using version 0.6.

Hey boingman...thanks for the screenshot...now I know what you mean...will fix that in one of the next versions...

of course are you allowed to use V.0.6...you can download it from here:
