Hi Igots, I have flicked you an email regarding doing some testing on the xbox.

Hi, some of those views look awesome, i really like the influences from boxee, phyeks skin concept and noir.

I think something great can grow out of this if you keep the general style up through the whole skin.

It seems noone has found our little easter egg within Shade as noone has commented on it. I would recommend the beta testers thoroughly check out the skin settings page.

'Get Thumb' / 'Get Fanart'?

I very much like this and have sent off an email to you.
Question/Comment: Is there or will there be an option to move the homescreen menu to the bottom? As even your own screenshots show, a lot of fanart has the cast standing around and the menu blocks their heads which kind of bugs.

*Edit - Also... What makes a movie 'Featured'? Just a random film chosen from the collection?

Moving the home menu to the bottom would leave us with nowhere to put all the features of the home screen (which was big in the design phase).

The featured film is the 8th most recent film added to the library.

I did consider that but thought of how Aeon moves its features around depending on user's choice of menu placement and thought something similar could be implemented.

igotdvds: So this is the secret project you've been working on. You are hereby forgiven for abandoning that other skin. This is amazing!
