I'm not really into the picture section so any suggestions? That wraplist uses square thumbs would 16x9 thumb be better?
Not too shabby at all, good news about the optional clear art thanksSmile

Not too much on my "to do" list:

Recently added on home
Specific song level view
Music fullscreen now playing and general music now playing
Redo my video OSD
Weather section*- I can live with this being incomplete on release and addressing it later. So weather is last on my list...
Then general touchup/cleanup

I was thinking probably a bunch of people think "I like the TV section but what if not all of my TV shows have a logo". The video below explains how I hope to handle that automatically.

See in Action - Youtube Link*

If things can be handled automatically rather than making people check a bunch of skin settings I much prefer that going that route. Though a view where the logos are in a wraplist like this view, there is no way to use a fallback. Even if there was not sure how to get the text right. So that type a view would be logo only.

*the skin flows better than the video, I had to pull those posters from TV source since I use landscape thumbs.

I've made 151 titles thus far and have tons to go.
By the time you release the skin I should have about double that if not more. ^_^
Granted I'm only making them for my own collection aside from a few logos I had lying around for shows I don't watch.

Well I slowed down a little on logos I was hoping NineT9mustang would offer some of his, I just PM'd him, before I duplicate work. Then while looking up his name to PM him I found this thread of his...http://forum.xbmc.org/showthread.php?tid...ang&page=2

So far alot of them look very good any useful. From my screenshot on page 1 I've made Castle, Fringe, The Vampire Diaries and Dollhouse.

@hikaricore
Those are very nice...Your Dollhouse and X-files are way better than what I got. Specially the X-files one and your Battlestar Gallactica (2003) is crisper.

Glad you like em Tongue I realized that I had overlapped and did some of the same ones you'd done after I was up late one evening.
As far as the images looking better I used vector art for the base of Xfiles and a 5mb tif for the battlestar logo. lol
I think I just cheated on dollhouse and used a lot of drop shadow. ^_^

I really wanted this for dollhouse but after 20min of work on it when I finally got it right it turned out too small

It could probably work if you can find a screenshot from an hd source. Smile
Unless you mean the entire logo was too small.
