Shade: Official Release Thread

igotdvds Wrote:2. Cast is not accessible in the info screen by design, it messes up the smoothness of the navigation in my opinion.

No problem man
I changed it back 4 my own use by inserting that cast/plot button and using an actor thumb image, but that's just my preference

Thanks again for this nice skin SHADE!

Can I see how that looks?

My monitor is 4:3 at the moment so my dimensions may be wacky. I need to adjust the flags and layout a bit so it doesn't get cut off.

Thinking about it a little more after looking at the info screen,



I wonder if one could also keep the layout the same showing both plot or outline + cast and either just shift it to the left to add the actor thumb or truncate the cast list and place the thumb beneath, using something like Waffa's MiniMeediaWaffa vertical layout for the actor list.

Anyway, thks again for the good work! This and MiniMeediaWaffa are up in my top fav skins!

I'll have a look and see.

Psyomega, the chances of a lot of people having 4:3 monitors in this day and age would be very slim, infact I had thought they had gone out with the ark.

Personally if I had created the skin, I would do no extra work on it to make it 4:3 friendly, I would simply tell you to upgrade your monitor and come into the 21st Century.

Most if not all people would have 16:9 screens or streaming like me onto bigger TV sets.

Although it is good to please all of the people but sadly this annot always be the case.

Well done with the release. It takes a lot of effort to get to where you have got, and yes there will be more effort to come as the user requests come in.

I think the new home images are infinatly more suitable than the previous images and now really gel with the home page.

As I find myself playing with this skin more and more, I find the thing that its missing is subtle little animations, that would make the skin feel more alive, that said this skin has some great views that bring all the relevant user info to the user.

Again well done.

I like your style of masking backhanded remarks within the context of constructive criticism every time you post on this forum.

igotdvds requested a look at what I chose to change for my own personal use. I never stated I was making a 4:3 mod for the general public. I brought up the fact that I only had access to a old 4:3 monitor since layouts are affected when making changes and no doubt would impact the following screens I posted.

It was also well established that while he prefers not having the cast list accessible in the info screen, that was one feature I preferred and chose to incorporate once again.

And lest you fear that I'm stuck in the 20th century, don't get your panties in a bunch about something that's really none of your concen : My main rig is in storage atm
