Have you still not decided about recently added? Love the skin but recently added is really convenient for me because I have a lot of tv shows. Have you looked at welo skin ?

I'll give a bit more explanation about what i meant.
To be honest, i haven't looked at Welo yet. Been trying not to get influenced too much by others, too early in development.
You described what you wanted with recently added as a sort of overlay, right? That i will give some thought. But i'm worried about how much of a slow down this will be if it gets activated when items are highlighted.
But you can already make a general recently added option in the main top menu.
Go to -> TvShows -> press Back 2x -> highlight Recently Added TvShows -> bring up the context menu -> Add to Favorites.
Then go to -> Settings -> Appearance -> Skin -> Settings -> Enable a custom Favorite -> Set Favorite -> Choose Recently added Episodes.
I might just put this in the main menu by default and just give the option to turn it off. But nodes, and the new filtering give a user so many options that they might prefer to use those. So by, "deciding on" i kind of mean test and use the different options (Recent / Nodes / Widgets / Filter) to see what is the easiest / fastest / most user friendly. A main menu available everywhere is nice, but if it gets too full it's no longer faster.

Nice concepts, MassIV. It has a unique look.
I look forward to testing it out down the road, when you're closer to release-ready.

I have to say this may be one of the most beautiful skins I have tried! Great work!
Of course, I had the usual crashes, lag, and other things I expect to get from a skin that is in the Alpha stages, on an Alpha build (on Windows 7, and I may not of had a new enough build) ... but I saw enough to know that if/when you release this, it will probably become my default skin.
Quick question... when I pressed 'M' on the keyboard, I got the '4 way controller' (not sure what to call that). Is there a different way with this skin to get to video/audio menus, or has that not implemented into that screen yet?

They will both be getting a big overhaul as well. And not like Fusion, as the goal is a new skin.
It was mostly Fusions underlying structure i was interested in.
But before i pull a window through photoshop i need to have all the code the way i want it.
Bit different then how most do it, but it allows for some "happy accidents" and getting to know the code without the feeling of breaking a pretty design.
So we'll see what rolls out...

I uninstalled Frodo and stay with Eden for the moment, so I couldn't try your WIP and judge it only from your screenshots.
Maybe you updated it since the first post, I don't know.
Except the fact that I dont like much the font used in main menu (this I could change manually) and overall that you mixed a lot of fonts (so lack of unity), I find your skin very cool, very refreshing, rather clean.
When stable Frodo will be released somehow in december I will happily try it.
Very good work, congratulations!

There is almost nothing left of the screenshots that were there. So they are gone now, i'll add some more new later.
But i did agree with you. Thing is, the code has to be in order first. Until then, all layout work is experimental.

Updated.
Was about time... Have been too busy. Screenshots and as promised. And a more permanent name, i think.
-edit-
Seems like i forgot to add one of the background folders.
Fixed now.
