bandelguy Wrote:Few requests, what do you think of them:-
1. Next 5 tracks , either on Now playing screen or on Home menu.
2. Artists' logo in library view.
3. Make the record labels logo ore prominent in the full screen information view (on pressing'I')
4. Show user ratings on list / list 2 view of music tracks.

Hey guys,

I see the ratings in the list 2 view now. Thanks for that.

What about the other things I mentioned before? Will you be including them?

Yeah possibly I'm just waiting on an XBMC repo pull request to go through before I add anything else to the SVN.

Hi Sharpe,

I know you're not adding anything to the SVN right now, but when you do...a little request for the last.fm artist slideshow. I asked in Ronie's release thread about having multiple generic pics for times when there are no last.fm images available:

Ronie Wrote:yup, the skin can specify a fallback image or a folder of images. no problem.

So is there any chance this could be changed to a folder into which we can stick our extra generic music pics? (Wouldn't have to be a user configurable option in the skin - the folder could just have the one image in it unless the user adds more in manually). Or if you want to add the ones I use for all users, here they are : http://imageshack.us/g/803/colorofmusic.jpg/

Thanks

No worries - so you want a folder rather than the current fallback image - sure I can do that. (Be in about a week though - I'm going to be out of town for a while).

Awesome - thanks Sharpe! Have a nice trip

Any new features you guys (dj and sharpe) planning to incorporate in the skin?

Oh yeah there will be some new stuff coming (including some of your recent suggestions) just need a bit of free time. Shouldn't be long.

Thanks for the reply.

I have disbaled curtain background from the skin settings - general. But the red curtain is not going and the background images for the Main Menu are not coming.

After i checked the "Disable curtain backround", i restarted XBMC with Backrow but the red curtain stays on, although the "Disable curtain backround" is checked as before.

Please suggest what is going wrong or what should I do?

Using Xbmc nightlies and Backrow SVN (updated to 3.4.0)

Yeah it's a bit misleading I suppose -the disable curtain background option disables the curtain image from the library and file menus - if you want to use different home screen wallpapers then select "use multiple home wallpapers".
