Hitcher OMG! That is perfect! Amazing job! Smile

I am so happy!

you have all your information displayed yet its still simple and clean and doesn't add clutter at all. You are the king of keeping this clean and simple. I love how Alaska has such a minimalistic style! Looks so elegant and modern.

Thanks again Hitcher!

Suggestion:


for immediate clearity, what about
[movie total length] oooooooooo------ [-xx minutes left] ([end time])

or even better (if that's doable)
[movie total length] oooooooooo------ [-xx minutes left] //FADE// (end time)
?

Surely I'm not the smartest around here, but I needed a whole minute to figure out what times were about.

And maybe slightly bigger fonts.
But that would be a suggestion for the whole skin

please don't make the fonts bigger, they are perfect. big fonts look ugly IMO, looks much cleaner with smaller fonts

Thanks for the start/finish time Hitcher.

Great work, as always Smile

PS. maybe two fonts could be an option at some point, switchable in Settings... "Normal" and "Large".

I can see how some of the fonts are a tad small if you a far from the TV or have a smaller TV.

I like the git update from yesterday, that made the Plot font bigger, looks really nice now.

I agree, I had to stare at it for a couple of minutes before it became clear, kinda breaks the clean UI when it makes you do that. Smile

This was one of my concerns with the idea, now people are confused by what the times mean and they're requesting they be labeled and set with larger fonts. It just never ends.
Piling more and more clutter on the pile as it were. *shrug* Just my 2 cents.

it's called common sense... im sure ppl will quickly figure it out what it means. just like printing T for telephone, E for email, and F for fax on business cards... it's not hard to figure out. I like it exactly the way it is right now. it's perfect.
