Some suggestions how to improve default Confluence skin.
Preview mode (minimum changes):
1. - move (unhide) channels category more to the right when left panel is active as it was in previous versions of XBMC.
2., 3. and 5. - enlarge text, especially the time.
4. - when programme description is larger it moves too fast, so please slow it down or implement a skin setting to change the speed in the appearance menu.
Preview mode (even more changes):
I think it doesn't require explanations. Just compare this modification with default skin. Which one represents programme information in more clear way?
Full screen mode
Default look - someone tried to invent a bicycle? It looks too weird even after using it for several moths.
Screenshot is just for comparison with the last picture at the end of this post.
This modifications tries to mimic info screen of some STB. Of course it is not perfect (channel number and title merge together), but you will get some ideas:
removed completely useless caption "Now Playing", added next show title and starting time.
