[RELEASE] reFocus 0.9.5

Jeroen, a small observation: when in library (tv shows and movies) and choosing "settings" from contextual menu, upon return you are taken to main menu, not back to library as expected. Can this be corrected ?

Jeroen -

First off, I'd like to tell you how very impressed I've been with your skin so far! I appreciate too that you are not trying to appease everyone - just build in a feature set that suites you.

There is one feature that is very important to me, and I was hoping you might consider. In Confluence for instance, when you are scrolling through a long list, you can press the right button to access a scroll that jumps a page at a time. With a large collection, myself and my family use this a LOT.

Is there any chance you would consider adding this sort of functionality?

If not, I totally understand - I may have to bring out Notepad+ and try my hand at some modding again!

I just think it's not natural to have 3 submenus that exit one left, one right and one both ways. I think they should have the same behaviour, that's all.

You do have a point, I understand what you're saying. If I could find a way to have the homescreen menu behave like you describe and make the current way an option, I would build it right now.
The difference with the view chooser menu (and therefore the tricky part) is that it only needs to do one thing: make 1 menu appear/disappear. On the homescreen one menu is already present and it needs to call several other submenus.

If xbmc would allow something like <onright>SetFocus(1110)</onright> this would actually be really easy. Jonathan, are you there?

Yes, that's not the way it should be. I fixed this earlier today an will be in an update. If you want a quick fix, open SettingsCategory.xml and delete the fourth line.

Thanks. Isn't that just the scrollbar though Correct me if I'm wrong.
I only know that a little dialog comes up showing you what character you're at currently while scrolling. Is that what you mean? If so, yes I plan to add that.

Hey Jeroen! I've been excited about the release of this skin ever since you first announced it, and I must say, it's even better than I had anticipated. I love the simplicity of it, the typography/font choices are wonderful (yes, I'm a fan of the forced lowercase ), and it performs incredibly well. This is absolutely my favourite xbmc skin. Ignore the critics and keep doing what you're doing! I, for one, appreciate all your hard work

Think clean simple elegant probably sums it up for me, just one small observation posters are being cut off slightly top and bottom both in slide view and info only noticed because of one poster missing some writing

I prefer lower case but is it meant to be all lower case even at the beginning of sentences single words no upper case on the first letter its the only thing that looks odd to me :confused2:

Its a scrollbar, yes - but when you use it it jumps a page at a time vs. one item at a time when you scroll. Just makes running through 1600 movies a lot quicker!

Yes! +1 for all lower case!!!

Jeroen, you are doing a great job. This is a top notch skin and it isn't even finished. I love its simplicity. This must be the first skin I would change a thing about.

Now got it working since the latest build of XBMC.
Great skin. Only one annoyance. All lower cases. fringe should be Fringe.

lol.

Can I Change this myself?
