thanks... however, a nice touch would be an info panel, like in movies (with description, release year, screens, trailer/or video gameplay, even your catalog number). Maybe phil65 will take a look when he will have some free time... alaska looks nice with info for games/roms

I like it, good job! maybe a glow for poster to separate it from fanart (sometimes they use the same colours) and maybe a landscape area (diffused) to make review more readable and to achieve a nicer placement.
However, it's nicer than the default poster/fanart view Wink

Thanx guys for comments, would be a pleasure to join your team Phil, but this is my first little
MOD i've ever done, so my "skinner attributes" aren't that great Smile Would be great if you could share your uncompressed Media, so i can make this MOD would get a nicer "aeon" touch.

Edit: sorry Phil have already seen that media isn't compressed.

Cheers

MOD Fanart in Launcher for Aeon65 (font_rework Branch) released.

Fanart - Year, Genre, Publisher, Plot for your games collection !

Installation:

-Please Backup your MyPrograms.xml, Includes.xml in 720p folder
-strings.xml in Language\English folder

-Be sure you have the latest launcher_plugin.py here:

-Rename and owerwrite launcher_plugin.py in:
C:\Users\...\appdata\roaming\xbmc\addons\plugin.program.launcher\resources\lib

EDIT: Forgot to say that you should refresh Launcher Plugin to take effect. Start XBMC and start launcher, exit XBMC. Now start XBMC and launcher again, exit. Done. Now you should be able to edit the launchers.xml file.

-Download MOD Fanart in Launcher Aeon65 here:

-Open and edit launchers.xml in: C:\Users\...\appdata\roaming\xbmc\userdata\addon-data\plugin.program.launcher

Example:

Code:
<launcher>
        <name>Starcraft 2</name>
        <application>C:\Program Files\Blizzard Entertainment\StarcraftLauncher.exe</application>
        <args></args>
        <rompath></rompath>
        <romext></romext>
        <thumb>C:\XBMC\Thumb\Starcraft2.jpg</thumb>
        <fanart>C:\XBMC\Fanart\Starcraft2b.jpg</fanart>
        <genre>Sci-Fi Real-Time Strategy </genre>
        <release>2010</release>
        <publisher>Blizzard Entertainment</publisher>
        <launcherplot>In Broodwar, the single player campaign was a blast as well. Basically, after fighting with one race or another for two games straight, in the last scenes of Starcraft Broodwar, you get to witness an unhealthy alliance between the Zerg (represented by Sarah Kerrigan turned Queen Bitch), the Terrans (represented by Samir Duran and Jim Raynor), the Protoss (represented by Fenix) and the Rebels (the ever so charming Arcturus Mengsk). In the last mission, you play as Kerrigan and manage to overcome a newly formed alliance between the Dominion, the United Earth Defense and the Artanis fleet. </launcherplot>
        <wait>true</wait>
        <roms>
        </roms>
    </launcher>

-Start Launcher, change View to TALL and enjoy Nod

You will release the mod for Aeon MQ2 too?
I wish to have Rotten Tomatoes (user+critics) + IMDB both ratings display in skin.
