I'm not trying to hijack buddy. I was just noticing the similarities! That's all. It's ok man, looks good!

Really like the movie view. Concise, lots of info and graphics in a clean, uncluttered layout.

As for the "Hey, did you swipe this dude's ideas?" comments, while I know most of them are in fun, as Jezz said, there are only so many ways to present information, so similarities are bound to occur (plus, I really don't see that many similarities to Griffith's home page, other than they both have words and numbers on them)

If I was a designer just starting out, I'd be a little put off on trying to put together a skin if all I got was "Hey, that looks like skin X! Why are you ripping it off?!"

thanks terranq.

i was thinking about putting the media flags with the main fanart image in the bottom right, not sure if this is possible, can someone please let me know.
or would it be easier to put them under the movie info?

I don't want this to come across too negative but you have to understand what a huge undertaking coding a skin from start to finish.

It's all well and good posting mock-ups of the 'eye candy' of a skin (Home, Movie, TV and Music Views, etc) but without knowing if it'll get past these screens and onto the less glamorous ones (Settings, File Manager, Playlist Editors, etc) you might find it hard attracting a coder. The forum has plenty of skin mock-ups/concepts/ideas that never went any further.

Having said that, I do wish you the best and will gladly help out anyone who does start coding.

EDIT: Take a look at all the windows that need to be done -

I have to say I really like this view a lot. However, it drives me crazy not being able to see a few movies ahead and behind. What are your thoughts about shrinking that poster just slightly, getting rid of the arrows probably, and putting maybe 2 or 3 movie listings above and below it (just the movie name, not icons)? Just an idea Smile Anyway, looks nice. I like your movie views a lot.
