One question, when will trailer support be available?

It's already supported.

Look for the trailer icon on your posters and simply press down.

Oh, about the iPlayer submenu items - I forgot to remove them from my build.

To add your own simply check out the Includes_HomeCustomButtons.xml file. I'll post more details later.

Heh, I was just about to ask what the film icon in the posters lower left quadrant meant.....lol

Love it so far well done.

Wow Hitcher, what a massive update. I superbly love everything about it, especially the new panel view which is everything i ever wanted Wink

I have officially moved from AeonPhil65 to Alaska!

One thing though, i'm running this on the 9.11, not a bleeding edge release. Could you elaborate what the benefits are for upgrading?

Simply amazing work Hitcher. The panel view is everything I had hoped for and more, and the extra polish around many parts of the skin (profiles in particular) is appreciated. This skin is hands down my default skin.

Been playing with the new skin for a while, here are my feelings so far:

- Trailer support, yay!

- The new info OSD while playing a video is nice

- I like the new scrolling "Now playing" box, nice and compact, the way it should be

- Panel view is great

- Default font looks better with accented characters

- I positively *hate* the new layout for Settings... The tiny bold all-caps font makes it hard to read at a distance, plenty of wasted screen space with that box, the navigation is confusing, and we don't get to see all sub-sections at once like we used to. The old layout was so nice, simple and readable, yet elegant... Oh well, I can live with it, but I'll definitively miss the old layout.

That's my only gripe so far. Pretty impressive job overall, this is by far the best skin out there.

I love this version, great job Hitcher. I actually like the new settings design even though I didn't test it on a TV.
