Instead of the red checkmark. I think it doesn't suit well with Alaska. Looks a bit out of place and generic to me. Was wondering if we can get like a ribbon overlay on the corners instead like in the Aeon Auriga skin? That to me look so much nicer than the red checkmark.

Aeon had a tick as well.

I also think it could use an improvement but I don't think a ribbon is the answer either.
Maybe something rounded with a symbol or a letter inside indicating the movie/series/episode has been watched?

I'll see if I can mockup what I'm talking about after work.

OP is probably referring to a mod/fork of Aeon.

Yeah.. I think it looks pretty decent, if not then it should be simple to create a new image for yourself.

Just a quick mockup to explain, but I think this is something like what he means, saw a similar thing on another mod somewhere..

Trouble is you've got to make loads for other languages.

Cant you just make the background (eg the stripe without text) with a correctly rotated label above?

You can! Xperience originally was going to have something similar.
