Sounds great, either PM or post here

Posted about PsudoTV in thier thread asking if the guide could be redone as I find it unusable because everything is so small. I use the charmicheal skin, is the guide able to be redone for better readablity with your skin?

It uses the default Pseudo skin and looks normal for me, I might make a specific one for 'The Carmichael' but the default one looks exactly how it should to me...

Love it if you made one that fit better with the colors and feel of the skin, font just seems to small for me and the guide just doesn't seem right to me with the font that small. Have my fingers crossed.

Hi mcborzu,

I'm a big fan of Night, but I think Carmichael is so much cooler! The colours, speed and the design makes it more fun to use than Night. Just a couple of quick questions:

1. How do I update Carmichael? I tried to install the SVN skin through passion repo addon but its not working, and git pull doesn't work the way it does with Night.

2. Will you be implementing some of the features of Night? Such as show the FF and RW speed? And also add a Shutdown option to the home screen directly instead of going through settings -> shutdown -> then choose shutdown button?

1. Dont think there is much difference between the Repo and GIT versions at the moment, nothing big atleast

2. RW FF indicators, dont have an idea if I want yet...The shutdown on Home under Settings or 'Press S'

Hi mcborzu

Well done with the skin...

Suggestions or maybe what am I doing wrong?

1 - Addon support, I can only add a few addons not all of them to the custom screen, one I can't add is Youtube but Apple trailers lite is fine.

2 - I have a mythTV backend on my server and use mythbox on XBMC to watch the recordings, odd thing with this skin is the menus for mythbox have no words but when I use any other skin including night all is OK. Here is a screenshot, the seven tabs on the left should have words but...

I plan on trying on this skin tonight looks very slick.

Wonder if it is possible to show recently added while focused on a custom home item? For instance, my custom home item is a smart playlist with only Animated shows (genre) - I would love for the recently added episodes to still be viewable while on this item.
