Is there anyway to download the SVN as one package? If not, then what files are the ones needed to update the original download?

I managed to write myself a little script to help me auto convert all the files good news is it worked Smile
so here are some early shots of the homescreen converted to proper 4x3
Just as a note my converter screwed up coverflow so I will have to make 4x3 with no coverflow to start with until I can redo it

That looks great! Appreciate you taking the time to support 4:3. I understand it's a dying format but plenty folk still use it, and it's disappointing when most new skins do not feature 4:3.

is that something that other skinners could find usefull as well?, I guess it would be great for skinners if there was a script that could do the first major conversion from 16:9 to 4:3 (and vice versa), as then they would only have to tweak the details after if needed.

Maybe off-topic but what about a script that convert xml files for and from different resolutions, like from PAL 576p to NTSC 480p, and PAL 576p to 720p (and vice versa), etc?

Confused

Thanks for the Coverflow... Looks fantastic... I have a couple of observations...

On the Home screen when an album is playing, if the name is really long it gets lost off the edge of the screen (no doubt due to overscan). Would it be possible to shorten the the now playing text to leave a bit of a gap either end (say just a cm or 2) and have the text scroll?

Also, when in music library playing a song with a long title there can be some overlap of text at the top. I just looks abit cluttered/untidy... Perhaps a smaller font or limit the length of text box and scroll the text?
