1. When using the "set area color" dialogs, choosing to color Panels makes the panels a solid color (of your choice). This also affects the top bar a little drastically as well.

2. Panel Widgets - the text overlay on the bottom is indiscernable. I'm using this widget for TVshows/latest episodes

3 Episode Viewtype - Perhaps the fade on Background 2 could extend a bit more to the left so that the plot info of episodes is a little easier to read.

4. Landscape viewtype - single logo: The alternate floor option I think fades up too far into the fanart. Something a bit less drastic?

5. Wall viewtype - no background panel/show logo: Maybe the area color could be applied to highlight the floor (like the shift and showcase floor highlights) surrounding the Logo/text area to make lighter logos a bit easier to see.

6. Pause screen/with video info: White on white text (rating, country, director, etc.) under the chapter info is a little hard to see. Perhaps use the area color here?

Do you want screens illustrating these points? Overall, it's looking really good - and refreshing.

fixed most of it. don´t know what you mean with 6. though.

This is what I'm referring to:

I also notice looking at that screen that the ratings stars are hard to see in the same manner...

I changed the color glow to a greyish color using color picker. Made it much easier to see.

In appearance-->settings - I have it set to Lite_Floor for theme and colours

and for anywhere that I chose an area color, I've set it to Dark Blue/labels only.

I think I've found the problem in the Misc. setting "show video info when paused". If I uncheck that, the area color is used. If it's checked, then it shows up like pictured above (and only when paused).

Mine shows video info(directors, playcount, etc) and shows up as the black color I choose for area color.
Theme/Colours both set to lite_floor.

until: - "Find and open the "media" folder inside."

that´s where you put the Theme file then.
