Thanks for a awesome skin Ronie.

This being my fist post in xbmc forum I'm clearly new on this hole media center thing, but incredible impressed by all the good work u guys do
I don't know your policy on posting new ideas for your skin, but here goes:
When I'm going through movies in library mode, it can some times be "difficult" (time consuming?) finding the right movie. Lets say I'm looking for Solomon Kane, then I press "right arrow" about a long time before I get to S. And then I start to look for the movie. A faster approach is pressing "down arrow" and scroll whit the scroll bar. But then I don't know how far to the right "S" is!
How about replacing the scroll bar with letters?
My English is probably bad, and the explanation worse so I've included to pictures:

The scroll bar I'm talking about

And the idea for letters:

(I hope the pictures work...)
Last note: I have not done a single search for this before the post, so if it old news.., I won't post a second post!

if you want to get to the 'S' quickly:
shift-s (keyboard)
7777 (remote)

there's also a 'filter' and a 'search' option on the left menu.


plenty of choices imo ;-)
