to all the 'skinners': useless use of 'hide'

It's that way because of default settings. Settings added by the skinner always default to false on first install or after skin reset. So if a skinner wants something on by default it has to be that way. Skinners can't define what state should be default.

If we want something on by default we can define it's condition in the <selected>...</selected> tag.

The terminology is a bit odd, I will agree, but after playing with some settings I understand them now.

There will always be debate on what terminology is easiest to understand.

XBMC speak for default 'on', the lingo used is of a kind that is unique as the skinners.

BEER is a word which has more of a commonality with XBMC hide the user.

should be in the language file - then we call all "BEER" certain settings.

Show Library Stats

Hide Raindrop Effect

Yes it is inconsistent to have these options on the same page. It should be Show for every option or Hide for every option, not a mix of the two.

OK point taken, but due to the code reversals for default toggle settings and language translations it probably won't get changed in hybrid Big Grin
