Lightbulb  Some suggestions/improvements Post: #1
I love this skin, really... but i've noticed some issues that may be could be solved in next release. Here it go:

- It could be nice to have another design for OSD volume (mute and Db values) may be moving the info to top right corner and also adding a semi-transparent background (a black glass) for better viewing...

- In latests version the size of the button in dialog has been enlarged but it's not enough to use it with some languages so i suggest to use a font a bit smaller (i'm talking about the CANCEL button and may be others also...)

- It could be very useful to have a link to the visualization screen when playing music. May be from a new entry into the sidebar menu or into another handy places.

- There are some texts that overflow the area where they are displayed. I will report them here when i've more time...

regards and keep up the good work!!

Hello again, i've another problem to report here:

- When viewing vertical pictures i can already see the background art (autumm trees) it could be useful if this can be disabled when viewing pictures (to display only a black background arround the current picture)

regards,

A few texts that i've found that overflows the window/area:

- Texts when the dialog resume/start from beggining is being shown

- Context menu in movie sections (may be also in music and pictures)

- Right menu in settings screens

May be that this only happens using other languages than english (i'm using spanish translation)

regards,

Ok, here you are some:

As you can see here when a vertical picture is displayed i still can see the images art in background, it could be better to show a black background

Volume OSD is a bit hard to read (specially when viewing videos with white bacgrounds) so i suggest to use a black cristal design behind the text and the symbol (also it could be great to move the position, may be to my suggested position in red, because it overlaps the time and other features)

Make this font (and all text into buttons of this kind of dialogs) a bit smaller so them fits nicely into the button

This text overflow the text area

many thanks, i love your skin! Wink

Nope, not at the moment as we're now working on the new skin. Both of those are features/change requests not bugs as such so it'll have to wait until we revisit MediaStream.
