Sorry, I missed some time since my last post. In fact I was not completely satisfied with the design of my skin and I totally change the overall look based on the "Maj. View" of Estuary that I find beautiful. I have kept my original goal, have access to all my media easily and quickly from the homepage. Small video of the result.

Thank you, I work on the skin as soon as I have a little time and it feels good to read encouraging comments.
I just started working on the views and my goal is to fully integrate them into the home page and make them accessible directly from the widgets. There will be only one view but each type of illustration (poster, fanart, icon ...) will be automatically determined according to the type of content. Thank you for telling me if it's a good idea and what you think. I made a small video with the widget "TV series" to show the result (which is not finished yet)

It's been a while since I've posted a message, not a lot of time right now to work on the skin. Here is a small overview of the weather widget and its features. I will try to put a small video of each skin widget every time I finished them.

I think of finishing the skin and maybe soon to put an evaluation version online for those who want to test it. I finally found a definitive name for the skin "MAJESTIC". MAJ for the MAJ view from which I was inspired EST to pay tribute to Estuary with this view and IC just to make a complete word.

Hopefully you will see this as constructive criticism.
I loved watching the first video, I loved how refreshing it was having a skin that was colourful and bright.
The second video where you changed your design idea was ok, still colourful, but not as good as the first in my eyes.
However, the more videos you are posting, for me the worse it is becoming. The video above the weather icons is the worse for me, and I will explain.
Near enough every skin is BLACK, and from colourful at the start you have gone to boring BLACK. My favourite skin at the moment is Artic Zephyr 2 because it is white, I tried the dark version tonight and it just does not look the same.
Black skins were fun to start with, but when everyone is just doing black skins, it is boring. It is like Henry Ford saying, you can have any Ford motor car, as long as it is in black.
Thankfully now you have white, purple, green cars.
Your concept was great, and I understand that when you try creating something, sometimes it is hard to please the creator, and at the end of the end of the day if it is for your personal use, then you need to feel happy about it and dam the rest.
However, I have seen a lot of fantastic skins get ruined when the creator goes too far.
