Tried and liking the skin!

A few things:
Home screen, when you have horizontal menu/Lower option, the music playing info is hovering up in left/middle of screen. Maybe move it down to lower left, right above menu. A little less opacity might be nice too with the music playing info on Home screen also or maybe fade the info box out on right side. (similar to way the select highlighter looks in rightlist view screens).

Would you consider adding the TV Tunes and Movie poster (similar to clearart) to movie pause screen?

Also consider the option to hide Settings on Home screen. (and add Settings to Shut-off/Reboot popup screen)

I also see in another thread someone suggested rotating artist extrafanart in music visualization. That would be a nice touch, especially if you could put music visualizations on top of them! I thought someone mentioned the Aeon skin had that option and I think Shade has current artist fanart behind visualizations. It is a nice effect!

Thanks!
***Oops! Just realized there was a 'Suggestions' thread. Move this if you can.

Works fine when I test it - I go to skin settings-background customizer-and then choose a folder of images for that section.

Again, I love this skin! One small thing I've noticed is that the item count and page number info in the upper right is dim and next to impossible to read. It's like the gradient is overlayed on top of it.

Just a few notes with the horizontal menu/lower enabled-

1.) the clock and the weather information in the upper left corner appear on top of the XBMC overlay. Could this either be moved down or have the xbmc overlay removed?

2.) With this setup there is no way to access the power/favorites buttons on the home screen. As a matter of fact the horizonal menu actually overlays them. It would be nice if you raise the lower menu a bit so those icons were still visible and for a DOWN button press move the active cursor to those icons.

Here are some pics top show what I mean. Even some guidance on editing an xml would be great. As you'll notice, the TV view is the darkest and almost impossible to read.

Sorry for the links but Flickr and Box.net apparently no longer provide direct links to files so this is the best I can do at the moment.

+1 from me on both counts.

I found something but iam not sure if its only at my system or not.

In Cirrus 2.0
when entering Episodelevel in Rightlistview i always get the fallback Image for the Logo instead of the Logo in the right down corner.

Code:

<control type="largeimage" id="7916"> 

                    <posx>370r</posx> 

                    <posy>30</posy> 

                    <width>335</width> 

                    <height>100</height> 

                    <texture fallback="notvshowlogo.png">$INFO[ListItem.path]logo.png</texture> 

                    <fadetime>100</fadetime> 

                    <aspectratio scalediffuse="false">keep</aspectratio> 

                    <visible>!substring(listitem.path,$LOCALIZE[20373])</visible> 

                </control>

                <control type="largeimage" id="7917"> 

                    <posx>370r</posx> 

                    <posy>30</posy> 

                    <width>335</width> 

                    <height>100</height> 

                    <texture fallback="notvshowlogo.png">$INFO[ListItem.path]../logo.png</texture> 

                    <fadetime>100</fadetime> 

                    <aspectratio scalediffuse="false">keep</aspectratio> 

                    <visible>substring(listitem.path,$LOCALIZE[20373])</visible>

when changing to this code again it works like it should

Code:

<control type="largeimage" id="7916"> 

                    <posx>370r</posx> 

                    <posy>30</posy> 

                    <width>335</width> 

                    <height>100</height> 

                    <texture fallback="notvshowlogo.png">$INFO[ListItem.path]logo.png</texture> 

                    <fadetime>100</fadetime> 

                    <aspectratio scalediffuse="false">keep</aspectratio> 

                    <visible>!substring(listitem.path,season)</visible>  

                </control>

                <control type="largeimage" id="7917"> 

                    <posx>370r</posx> 

                    <posy>30</posy> 

                    <width>335</width> 

                    <height>100</height> 

                    <texture>$INFO[ListItem.path]../logo.png</texture> 

                    <fadetime>100</fadetime> 

                    <aspectratio scalediffuse="false">keep</aspectratio> 

                    <visible></visible>

Anybody else with the same problem?
And $LOCALIZE[20373] stands for what?i searched but couldnt figure it out??
