Great skin, my favourite of them all!

Some very minor suggestions for the next release:

1. In the context menu for the Movies and TV Shows items off the root menu, move "Recently Added" to the top of the list, not sure about anyone else, but this is my most used feature in that menu, so moving it to the top reduces the clicks to get there.

2. Is it difficult to add the option for the media info screen to appear after a delay? i.e. at the moment it is on or off, I like to see the fanart, though would also like to see the media info without the need for a click, maybe a 2-3 sec delay or similar before showing?

Considering these (at least the first one) are pretty simple mods, I may even have a crack at it. I'll do some research and work out how I can contribute. Smile

Thanks, and great work!

1. If your talking about the submenus in home, that would reduce ONE click :\

Also, IMNSHO, things popping up after n seconds is the worse idea ever in the history of UI development.

My girlfriend actually suggested the movie info screen to fade in when selecting a movie. I dont like it popping up either unless it's by pressing a button.

You can mod the fanart view to hide/unhide the info when pressing down.
