[RELEASE] Rapier 2.0

Hey guys, thx for the positive responses. I tried to polish it as much as I can before releasing it but theres bound to be some little bugs that I may have not noticed with me only having one pair of eyes. If you guys find any bugs/inconsistences please report them, it would make my job easier.

As for new feature requests, the skin at it's current state meets all my needs. But I know there are alot of power users out there who work in differen't ways. I'am open to new ideas as long as its consistent with the philosophy of the skin.

I stand corrected. One step closer to being in skin rotation

Ding dong!

Simply put, I love this skin.

I had no trouble adapting to the navigation as some other commenters have posted... though there are a few incompletes that would have been nice to see...

1. RSS Feed on the home screen isn't always centered in the black bar, plus it is slightly hard to read from a distance. 37" tv ~10ft away.

2. Interestingly, if I pull up the shutdown menu and select "Reload Skin" I can no longer activate the shutdown menu. Had to do an ACPI shutdown.

3. When viewing a video, the zoom information panel does not display. (Was awkward when trying to select the appropriate zoom level for some videos.)

4. When viewing a video, hitting the context button does not display the video properties (I look at this a lot)

5. There were a few locations where the breadcrumb was missing but I can't recall exactly where ATM.

Still, I love the simple interface, it is 'open' enough to do the fanart justice, and everything is where I expect it to be.

(And when i change the view, leave the screen and go back, the view is remembered! -- Aeon never remembers my view settings.)

Excellent work!

Fantastic...really great skin overall. Didn't really have the navigation issues either. I find it amazing that you were able to think of and implement so many things without having any input from the community. I think this has a great shot at becoming the primary skin for many users - myself included.


Possible bug: I get locked up in the List Wrap view in movies after using it a bit? Might just be me.

Feature Request!!!


1: Pause menu moved to bottom
2: Incorporate the popup (liek in aeon) when hovered on a movie in Thumbnail view. ( So we can use our extrathumbs)

3: There is no #3 , this skin kicks ASS!!!!

Looks amazing, great work.

I'll be having a play with this after work today

I like the run through that I gave it. Nice animation and clean simple look, which seems to be the way all skins are headed.

One thing I would suggest is to hide the scroll bar when it is not selected.

Great work!

Troll much?

Any how to the author of the skin, this is really good work man. It's nice to see so many skins coming out.

Keep up the good work.

You can do this in the skin settings.

I would like to be able to hide the top bar of options though.
