[Concept] Advice needed from experienced skinners!

_plenty_ of things i'm not happy with yet, the TV Show view being one of them.

As you can see from the 4 screens, it's obvious those panels kinda are the backbone of the whole concept, and as such they need to stay a main element of it ... but i am starting to wonder if i can keep up with it (we're only seeing the basic views here ... don't even want to think how many panels i would have to setup for some of the more complicated views, like source managing etc).
so removing some of the panels and making a completely different approach for some elements is definitely something i am considering at the moment.
(maybe i will remove the panel for the episode plot, and replace it by a darkenning gradient in the corner so that the plot is still legible, no matter what fanart is being displayed ... )

i also am starting to hate the scrollbars i've made, and i can already say they will completely be replaced by something else ...

expect a rework very soon, cause i am not happy with the layout yet ;-)

thanks for the feedback so far guys !

Cool, I do like the use of the panels. I think if done right it could get a good balance somewhere between the skins that focus on information excluding the fanart, and those that have just fanart and no info. Darkening the fanart slightly and having the plot in that corner sounds like an interesting idea - could work for sure. Removing the hard lines that you get with the panel would probably make it look less cluttered.

Looking forward to your re-worked screens. Keep up the good work.

Or could you maybe reduce the size of the episode list and have the summary above the list and below the banner, like you do with the movies screen? Just a random thought.
