Brilliant skin, just set it up and its very nice, some great fetures that might tempt me to leave Alaska Revisited Shocked

Couple things:

I spent a long time getting landscape images for seasons which work great on season level on list view, but the skin prefers posters at episode level on episode slide view. Is there a way to save a poster and a landscape season image to get around this conflict?

In the TV guide (great feature btw), when I press up I get what look like landscape/posters compressed to banners. Why doesn't it just use my banners?

My 'Episode delete' function is not available, is this not in the official repo yet?

Is there a way to change the options seen on the home menu when pressing down, on say TV or Movies? I dont use/like genres, year etc, but can't see a hide/show toggle.

Overall, very impressed, looks great on my TV, can't wait to see it on my new 50" when it arrives!! Nod

Very good work sir.

Not sure if this is a bug, but when going into the carousel in the library for movies and tv-shows, it always lands on random shows/movies rather than the top. Is this normal behavior?

Also, as a suggestion, I am curious if you could add a slider to the side of the carousel to scroll down faster by chunks instead of one-at-a-time?

I love this skin, it's really beyond simple actually Big Grin

but in a cool way.

I was wondering however, if i select 'use posters instead of banners for tv shows', the banner shows up when in the show specific menu. However when i toggle this function of (so i use banners instead of posters) it doesn't seem to pick up banner.jpg in the tv-shows overview (so the main tv-show windows). This might be due to the fact that i just starting using the skin.
Furthermore, is it possible to install this skin from a repo, so I get notified when a new version is out?

Great work, really Smile

Love the skin so far!

Possible Bug:

I have music fanart enabled for the background of the "Music" home screen. It shows random artist pictures, as it should. But when I browse artists in Thumbnail view, it continues to show random pics rather than the artist who is highlighted.

Bug:

When choosing a screenshot folder in settings, attempt to make a new folder. When you do so, the location pane overlaps the keyboard and prevents you from being able to name folder you want to create.

I have an idea for the backgounds in this skin...so have a look on my .zip
A nice idea for the movie and series button is when the tv shows the fanart in it!? Is this doable?
