Day View 2 - Banners - Required banner.jpg in tv show folder. These can be bulk-downloaded from Settings > Skin > Movies/TV (new feature)

Along with this comes the addition of a bulk download options in Settings as mentioned as well as individual downloads via "I"nformation in the TV views.

Still a work in progress. Smile

Does this mean you have support for banner.jpg now throughout Neon?

Great work BTW using the poster in the day view.

Not really. There were a couple of views that supported banners if that was your default. This will allow for a mix of Poster, Banner and Landscape in a single view w/out forcing a user to go hunt down the right files.

Now to come up with those new views.....

I made the change to the font size for the scrolling artist and album info. I changed it from 16 to 20 and it is much better! Now I need to figure out a way to increase the size of the text box in the MediaInfo 2 view. At the moment it is not very tall and placed at the bottom of the screen which makes it hard to read especially when there is a lot of text.

Wow great improvements! I love the new weather and tv guide!!

Just one thing...I have to run manually the next aired addon everytime I launch the skin

Just checked, does indeed. Here's a screenshot of the missing icon in neon.

Just something I notice concerning the new (great) tv guide feature, the default stretched banner images are still show up when navigating to a particular day.

Only when you select (click) the particular day do I see the correct banners.

One more non-Neon specific question. I have my XBMC configured to automatically update Neon from SVN. However, it seems when it updates Neon it forces my skin back to Confluence. Not a big deal for me, but it bugs my wife if I am not around. Any work around for that?
