ZombieRobot Wrote:Work has begun on the fully customizable settings interface this is a $h!t load of coding for little gain but i feel that it will make things way easier for the XBMC noobs out there wanting to setup there skin but not knowing what each option really does.You are absolutely right, there is no better concept out there.
Absolutely all skin settings options will be able to be toggled visually no text thats the goal so that the user can see every single tweak visually.
ZombieRobot Wrote:I begun work on the custom osd menu today adding switchable backdrops, spinning cdart in info screen animated slideshow, toggling on and off a ton of text/progress bar you will literally be able to turn on and off every single thing in osd to create a fully customizable view.Great news!
this will happen throughout the full interface of showmix evolution you will be able to add and move things around the home screen as you please add or remove recently added switch between different recently added options and positions add analog clock and move it around.
To move things around is not so important for me in personal, but to have an option to turn thinks on and off or change their appearance is really important.
OK, back to business.
System:
- Windows 7 - 64bit
- XBMX Dharma Beta 3
- Aeon Showmix Evolution Beta : 18.10.2010
Bug Report:
1. "music/video options" in advanced settings is missing options
When you go to the AEON advanced settings dialog > "music/video options", there are no options to choose from, the settings-window on the right is blank.

FLuX0r Wrote:2. Jumping back in the homescreen changes the previous selected categoryOh man, this is a really anoying bug !
When in homescreen and you choose and enter the "movies"-section for example and the get back to the homescreen, the chosen (highlighted) category has changed. So now there is "settings" highlighted for example and not "movies" as previously chosen.
This happens for other categories like musik as well.
Would it be possible to fix this with a small update? Please.
Feature Request:
1. Option for NOT dimming the background in music vizalisation screen
When in the music vizalisation screen, the background is allways dimmed.
I don't see any reason for that and it doesn't look good in my opinion.
It would be nice, to have an option to turn the dimming of, so we can see our fanart/backdrop in full gloss shine.
2. Smaller lower bar in the music vizualisation screen
When in the music vizalisation screen, the lower bar (with progress, artist, album and title) is really big/bulky.
An option for a narrower or fully transparent bar (meaning the background, not the letters, progression) would be nice.

ZombieRobot Wrote:Simple slideshow music osdLooks really nice and clean.
To meet everyones needs, you may want to add a compromise between the big/bulky player-view today and this clean one. what i mean is this slim concept with a small progression bar and a small album cover incl. artist/album-name. like in the home-screen for example.
Last but no least:
I figured out yesterday, that there is an option to choose, whether the bottom-line and/or the information-window should be dark or bright.
I turned both to "dark" (bottom-line is by default) an the skin looks even better !!!
One last Question:
What does the option "mediavizualisation on/off" in the shutdown-menu do ?
I could not see any changes in the appearance of the skin.
