Well, not to be the jerk that was taken in by the idea of a tv in a tv, but I kind of dig the concept. Specifically, I'd like the idea of starting a movie inside the tv within the tv, and then having a slow zoom in, until the movie takes up the whole screen.

It'd be an absolutely useless feature, but it'd look neat.

I really hope this gets finished.

why have the images in a TV, isn't that wasting a lot of screen real estate?

Is it really that confusing?

uhm,well... YES, at least for me.
Actualy I was just thinking something similar.

Wow. An HD Flag like that in list view is something I've been waiting for for a while now. I really hope others take notice, because it looks awesome, and is more functional IMO then 720p flags, 1080p flags, etc. The PERFECT list view. Heres hoping for a release!

This is a really nice job.

Looking forward to see it in action.

Glad people like the skin. Now I need someone to pick it up! I am working on a flash version of it, would there be any way to use flash in a skin?

Also, a note about the index. Each selection will have its own changing background. Each selection will have its own folder so you can put in as many different backgrounds as we you want. For example if your on movies you might have a harry potter fanart, but if you move to music and than move back to movies you will have a totally different background. So dynamically random backgrounds I guess is what it would be called?

Flash can't be used. The dynamic backgrounds is certainly possible-- Aeon has them.

In Aeon, you need to set each background though right, in the settings? Where as I want each background to be random from a set of backgrounds and folders. For example, the movies folder will have ten different fanarts. One will be randomly chosen each time you are on the "moves" tab. And the same for the rest, music, photos etc.
