I see packs have way more JPG then I need since i get movie content/ fanart when i add to library. But they do have some default BG that I can put in cat. folders. Pretty work on skin since Ive been usin Connected since it was less system hungry.

I got one more question and I was wanting a skinners take on it. Im still sittin with a 32" SD tv and I notice most of the newer nicer skins have font so small its hard to read from across room (since im over 40 its getting worse). Some skins offer a few fonts which are bigger and easier to read with SD tv. Connected and PM skins have font easy to read and I wonder why skinners dont add a few more to their skins. I know that they cant make everyone happy and waste their time on old tech but how much work is it to add a few more fonts? Just a question that Ive been wondering about for a while with all these cool HD skins that are hard for us Cheaper ppl.
Side note I do plan on gettin my 1st HDTV this year but with 4 xboxes in my house hooked to different tvs it will still be a issue for a while.

yea, i disabled the logo on top as well as the 3d logo and replaced the banners with the logos.
I liked the 3d logos, but i tried it that way and it look ok to me and i didn't feel like changing it back.
The only bug that I saw was in the scripts (i think) page where i believe scripts and addons are overlapping and you can't read either word. I am in work now so I don't remember exactly, but I will post when I get home.
I do have a question for you in regards to adding a link to the home screen.
I took a look through the night forum and say that there is an easy way to add a link to a smart playlist on the home menu. Have you thought about implementing something like that? I know that you have something where you can link it as a sub-menu, but I wasn't sure if i could also add it as a top level menu.
Also, I have a smart playlist that randomly grabs 10 comedy shows that haven't been played in the last 4 weeks. When i click on the playlist in the video playlist window, the playlist updates based on current playcount values, however when I tried to add the playlist to the tv shows sub-menu, the playlist just showed the same shows over and over, regardless of the last played date. Am i doing something wrong? When i get home I can take a screenshot of my settings and post.
Thanks

Yep, you can set also smartplaylist in main menu. For now only 1 but can add more.(See skinsettings / home)
Weird, the playlist button in tv show submenu opens the video playlist window nothing more or less.
