Looks great Hitcher. Is it a few new views, or a large redesign?

Now that I've separated all the viewtypes and added the <views></views> tag it's nice and easy to add new ones.
This one was inspired by the poster for Limited. The focused fanart slides to reveal the plot. ![]() |

Great work as always Hitcher!
One thing, why is the watched top-right on the focussed fanart but bottom-right on the others? Wouldn't it look better to keep it consistently in one location? Just my opinion of course, would be interested to hear your/other opinions. Thanks for continuing to improve Alaska, theres no other skin like it in terms of aesthetic simplicity. Merry Christmas! |

Hitcher,
I have tried almost every skin and still stick with Alaska - you've done a GREAT job! I'm hoping you will consider putting in a few features... a) BIG Alaska's themes - I use the blue colors since my eye sight is not good with the lighter backgrounds b) BIG Alaska's font sizes - again, bad eyesight c) ability to add custom Home menu items via setting (not using Favorites). A few skins have this now and it is very helpful. I have added a few items (Kids Videos, New Videos, etc) and it just makes it 100x easier for guests, children, etc to navigate if everything is on the home menu. thank you & happy holidays! I'm not an expert but I play one at work. |
