A Couple of ideas for PM3...food for thought...

Are you talking about the "Please Wait..." dialog if so I have to disagree on that too because basically it really only ment to be on screen for an average of 2 to 3 seconds depending on what you do of course and flashing/dulling the screen for 2 seconds would be silly

Freddo,
Do you mind sharing the code? I think the dissapearing side menu is a greqat way to reclaim space when navigating media.

Mike,
I like the background fade idea... even if the action pop-up only last a few secs it adds a nice polish to the skin.

Not the 'Please Wait' screen...it's the bigger window than that...for example when it tells you that it is fetching episode information....depending on how many episodes it is fetching, it can be there for quite a while.

I really do think it would be a great addition to have the background fade out to almost black whilst the 'episode' window is doing it's thang!

Come on, you have to agree it sounds lurvly?

you need to update your XBMC that got changed to a small scan dialog (like music scan) in the top of the screen ages ago and runs in the background now so you can do other things while its scanning

here u go affini

was about this time last year I was working on it so i imagine it's not valid anymore , but the general jist of it should still be obvious.

Thanks Freddo... I'll check it out.

I'm hoping Jezz_X reconsiders making a hidden left menu... I think this would be sweet!

I have that thanks Jezz, but I still get the episode information window, which I am supposed to I believe. I have the latest build thanks.

...I guess either I'm not communicating this very well, or it's not an idea that appeals!
