Vision 2 skin release

As i said here it goes...

1st of all, thank YOU NineT9mustang & Jezz_X for this awsome skin!!!
2nd, it's really a shame that such a great skin wasn't further improved (and that a skilled skinner doesn't show to pick it up).
3rd, i love Vision2 (especially on the xbox), so i decided to add some new info panels and features to my likin' and needs.
4th, i'm a total noob trying to make something already great a little bit better.

So, i've added this to Vision2:

HOME SCREEN:
Run Optical Disc
(Note: This is available only if a optical disc is the DVD-ROM tray)
(Note2: The first item is "reserved" for this feature so you dont want to activate custom menu item 1)
(Note3: I'm sorry, read n.º 4 )

MOVIES LIBRARY VIEW:
Watched/Unwatched Overlay (MediaStream PNG)
Year
Rating and Votes
Sort Letter (MediaStream PNG)

TVSHOWS LIBRARY VIEW (TVSHOWS):
Number of watched/unwatched episodes

TVSHOW LIBRARY VIEW (EPISODES)

Looks nice... but I didn't see a download. You wanna pack that into a rar and upload to your mediafire folder?

Skin uploaded (new stuff added).

xbs08, I haven't had a chance to play with your version yet, but i just found screenshots in that link above, and I really like some stuff youve added

Like the 'watched' stuff:


and again here:


nice placement on the watched, i like it!

also, your posters seem blurry... not sure if thats because you dont have a better quality poster for Bourne Ultimatum, or if your XBMC cache isn't set correctly (via AdvanceSettings.xml)

Once you do both of the above, your posters should maintain very high quality! just a tip is all

Hi NineT9mustang,
I'm very glad that you like it

I've got my posters set to 512 via AdvancedSettings.xml.

I'm such a noob with skins, that i was putting the watched icon "before" the leftdvd.png, but that's fixed now, much more visible

Also, i've added the sort letter feature, witch is nice for long movie collections.

You interested in adding code for music fanart?

ok real newbie question no doubt but dont know where it is and what to change it to ?

looks real good, keep up the great work.

It could just be that I'm using Plex, but the fanart seems a little 'dimmed'...almost with a shade of black to it. Is this normal in XBMC?
