Over the last week or so I have been doing some work of my own on modding this skin with the intent of following the Win 8 UI (formerly Metro) design style and integrating several features from other skins I use. I was going to call this mod MetroTV, but since Microsoft killed the term "Metro" last week, it seems I will have to rename it.

Here is a screenshot-

Looks great

Would your mod address this by any chance? Only thing keeping me from using Lightbox at the moment, it is a bit of a chore to scroll through items:

It would be great if when scrolling across the items in the movie viewtype, that it scrolls down to the next row automatically after reaching the end of the row. Would be handy since the smaller thumbnails can be difficult to see from a distance, and having to scroll down manually as well is a bit cumbersome.

Looking forward to the full release! :-)

You are refering to the Movie Panel view? I can see what I can do, but I can tell you that I have added 2 other movie views (the traditional 50 list and transparency's fanart list views) that should help resolve that issue.

Yep I was referring to the default (only) view when scrolling through movies/tv series. In order to scroll through them (in alphabetical order), you need to manually scroll down to the next row, which is a bit tiresome when there are only 3 items per row! Ideally one should be able to scroll through the whole library while pushing down a single button (in my opinion) but I am no programmer so I have no idea how hard it is.

Looking forward to yiur mod regardless :>

I've made my own adjustments to this skin. I am running on a Raspberry Pi, so I've stripped every trace of extra images and overlays possible to make the rendering easier on the Raspberry Pi.

I also had to make my own episodes view that is a bit more consistent with the rest of the views and changed some label text to better suit my own taste.

I've also changed the OSD controls for TV shows to use the series poster rather than the thumbnail.

Have a look and see what you think: https://github.com/niamu/skin.nbox

Submit some feature requests if you like. Maybe I'll gradually add new features back in that I've taken out. I do want to keep this project moving forward if tree_jammer isn't available to continue. I'm trying to keep inline with his design choices as much as possible in part to honour the skin concept and in part just because I find it so damn sexy.

Looks great, like the new episode view type

PVR!

Very nice. Good to see that someone picked it up and is developing it for the less brutal hardware; ARM

Considerring Frodo is almost here, PVR support will finalise it.
