Design Flaws / Missing Features

First of all thanks for the an awesome skin.

I have custom backgrounds set up for the various items on the home screen, but when i press up to access the recently added items ( the thumbnails that are there when recently added is enable) the background switches to the original background you have with the skin. Is it possible to prevent this from happening

stoli Wrote:@_ak1_ - what happens if you are in library mode?

I don´t want to use librarymode for my childrens movies. I want to separate them from my own moves and make my own thumbnails. The only viewmodes that are available are: Poster, Wall & Files. The wall mode is a little hard to navigate for a child. The wallmode in aeon is much simpler.

Thanks for taking your time to answer. I hope you can help me because I really want to use this skin, its the best!

/Thanks

@cledus - I'll add some more views in file mode.

It should switch to the background for the recently added show/movie. Do they have fanart?

Hi stoli, thanks for this awsome skin!

The only things i miss are some nice views for my rom collection. It would be great if you can add some views for the launcher plugin.

I LOVE this skin. I just started using it last night and it quickly become the favorite of the family - it's now our default.

I have a feature add/enhancement request. On previous skins I've used, the SHUTDOWN menu choice, when selected, brings up a submenu/icons for the type of shutdown you want to perform (actual computer shutdown, hibernate, suspend, or quit/exit to the OS desktop). With Neon, you don't get the submenu/icon choices. I know you can assign a function in SETTINGS for the Shutdown menu behavior, but it will perform only that one programmed function (either shutdown, hibernate, quit, etc).

My HTPC runs on Win7 and boots into XBMC on startup to make it easier for family usage. On occasion, I need to be able to exit XBMC to the desktop so my son can play Angry Birds on the big screen or when I need to do maintenance and don't feel like connecting into the HTPC remotely. When exiting XBMC, I'd like to be able to have the choice of going to the Win7 desktop or shutting down entirely. Can this be added?

Thanx,
Kris

Glad you like the skin. Press the down arrow when on Shutdown and you will have all of your options.

In time... Now with wide-release I'm waiting for the remaining bugs to get flushed out and fixed and then I will start adding new features.

Thanks,

When displaying the info in video fullscreen I've got "IMDB" and "Directed by" in the lower right corner. That's partially overlapped by the cover thumbnail. Below that there's the chapter count and the total number of chapters. No chapter name.

One screenshot attached.

Can you PM me a link for a file/torrent with chapter titles?
