New Movie (and TV!) view: Multiplex

I can't deny I've been thinking about it - the whole Lite/Full thing certainly suggests it. Coding wouldn't be an issue beyond the usual thing of the timings being a bit volatile (at least when muggins here does them). The bigger issue would be how to make it slide in without looking too rough as it moves behind the browser pane. It'll be easy enough, though, but I'll wait until it's all finished before dwelling too much on it.

Yeah i like the sliding up info panel as well. Much like showcase in Horizons works, pause on a movie and get all the info. Then you still get fanart until you decide to stop.

Here it is in realtime, complete with timed info popup. Extra thumbs are being found with no problems beyond the usual largeimage shenanigans.

Duncan - I think you've hit the perfect balance between fanart,info and usability. Absolutely stunning work.

I'd just like to stress these are dummy files on this PC. I'm not quite so naughty as to 'own' the films pictured. Not the focused ones, anyway.

That is incredible djh, a perfect balance.

Going with the selected movie being on the right of screen and not central? Yeah and i did see the movie and assumed you must have actually been the owner of Fox as well.

I know its a work in progress, but opening the info screen on these will still open the full screen info? And just an idea to see what you think of putting the logo for the particular rating instead of the rating in words. This would then work for redtapemedia's international classifications as well.

Also just to check I'm not doing something wrong, when exiting some menu's I get a drawing of a green pasture with a house on it, part of the skin i assume. It only appears for about a second before the other menu loads, and is not one of my backdrops.

I notice you moved back to black with this view. Any plans on making things more consistent -- the newest TV view is a grey, then this is black. Certainly being nit-picky here, but I think little details like that go a long way. I'd go with black, personally, in the TV view.

Looks nice. I personally like full mode, and full mode config 3.

I can't say that tweaking the colour scheme is particularly high on my agenda at the moment, what with actually designing and coding the rest of the skin still to do. But I dare say I'll get round to it one day. Anyway, that's not black, it's just dark grey. Sure your monitor's calibrated?

Incidentally, it seems you can't pull the cast and role info from outside the info page, so that option's on hold.
