Beta Suggestions

Sranshaft Wrote:Great start and very polished straight out of the gate. I've only found a few things that could use a little tweaking.

Home screen - Weather: add some info to the home screen a la the movie / tv show home screen. This would help the weather screen blend in with the reat of the home screen and save the user from having to click to see the extended forecast.

Home screen - System: same as the weather. Have system information, available drive space, memory usage, etc.

Home screen - Addons: allow the user to select their top 5 addons and perhaps have a featured addon (may need a separate script for that).

Addon menus: allow more views especially list view.

I vote for these to

+1 for switch to disable top path bar

I'd vote for these additions too. Also support for TVTunes would be most welcome.

Hi,

I didn't see anyone telling this. In the configure addons screens, labels and setings have changed indentation. Graphical explanation:

Quote:----- Label
Settings
----- Label
Settings

should not be backwards?

Quote:Label
---- Setttings
Label
---- Settings?

Cheers!

I modded the big fan view to include logo and also to use the extra fanart folder. While my implementation isn't great I think t really improves the view.

Ok so the logo is a personal touch I like but the extra fanart really adds to the view I think, makes t more dynamic.

Would something like this be possible?


Sloppy mockup...

Or even better with options to select audio and source and such all at once by creating smart-playlist on the fly, but that's not possible in a manageable way right?

I may be missing a setting here but i can't find any way to enable auto scroll for plots!

I have looked in the wiki and it appears it's a skin setting not down to xbmc as such.
could this feature be added to fusion or could some wise smart arsed git tell me how to code it in,

Am loving this skin more and more since i got the featured items working, can't
wait for the next gripping instalment ha ha...

the plot scrolls but there is a significant delay

Thanks for the reply, problem is it does not scroll in episodes view, it does in tv list and the info screen. But like you said it takes ages before it starts to scroll.

Ok i figured out how to get auto scroll working on episodes view.
Look for <control type="textbox"> in viewtype_Episodes.xml it's near the bottom of the page
And insert
<autoscroll delay="2000" time="3000" repeat="10000" />
Just after <align>justify</align>
and it should auto scroll after about a second

Cross-posting from the planned changes thread to a more appropriate place:

I've been using Fusion as my default skin for a few weeks and I absolutely love it, but I recently had to change to Aeon65.

The reason is that I added a large number of films to my library. I prefer a fanart-heavy view when browsing movies, and while the uber-clean just-fanart view in Fusion is gorgeous, it's not really practical when you start getting into really high numbers of movies. I'm now using Aeon65's "low list" view, which basically uses heavy fanart and also incorporates a scrolling list that takes up maybe 1/5 of the vertical screen real estate.

So, if at all possible, I'd love to see a similar view in future versions of Fusion, because I definitely prefer Fusion's overall aesthetic to Aeon's.

Thanks!
