Simple Movielist Viewtype with Cover

Hi Backrow-Devs,

I saw that there are a lot of different Viewtypes integrated into Backrow.
But I'm still missing a simple Movielist-Viewtype, where we have on the left the List and on the right a Cover.
This Viewtype should be Fanart free to enhance the Contrast of the Movie-List.
A bar which could be accessed by pressind 'left' would be good for fast-scrolling.
The Cover could be a Poster which should be scaled to large.

No Special Effects, just a clear one.
I tried it on my own, but that wasn't a good-ending story...

I made a sketch:



Overall such a Viewtype would make the skin even more perfect.

Bump.

The main reason I can't really add this view is that all the video library views are pretty much maxed out - there's no room for any more (no spare ids). So adding something basic like this would mean removing one of the other more detailed views. Not something I really want to go for.

It could be possible to alter the list view in file mode to more resemble this and then maybe add an option to disable file mode fanart so you'd get the black background. That could be possible.

Maybe the small wall view could be replaced ?

If you can't do that, than I would be very glad, if you could disable the fanart, as mentioned.

The main Idea was a view like 'List 1' with disabled Fanart and a large simple cover on the right part.

As I mentioned earlier this year, this skin is almost perfect, just this missing view is (IMHO) annoying for a enhanced viewing experience.
Especially the Banner-Views of Backrow are definitely outstanding. :-)

Best Regards

Bump.......

@sharpe: I don't think there's a limitation with regards to the available id's anymore. You can use id's out of the 50-59 range and use <views>50,51,63</views> for example to include the views in myvideonav.xml.
I don't use this myself, but it is possible.

Oh really? - That's very interesting. I shall check this out right away.

Thanks Jeroen - ReFocus is looking superb btw!

Thank you, glad to be of help good luck

sharpe, so any chance to implement this one ?
