Cool - I really appreciate all your work!

I did a quick Google image search and couldn't seem to find an official logo (is there one?) other than the Apple logo so I'll see what I can whip up tonight & then post it in this thread.

On the topic of flags, we also need a "Blu-ray 3D" flag

Honestly I have no idea. I had assumed you'd just replace the 'f' with an 'a' on the existing flac.png

If I find one I'll let you know, but I think that would do the job fine.

Slight complaint about the default cdart; the cd has a drop shadow so when the disc is spinning the shadow spins as well

Edit: nevermind, this must be something downloaded by a plugin

Regards,

No Probs, here you go..

DialogAlbumInfo.xml

Merge instructions..

Includes.xml - change <include name="Object_MovieInfoLines"> visible condition from <visible>Window.IsActive(movieinformation)</visible> to <visible>Window.IsActive(movieinformation) | Window.IsActive(musicinformation)</visible>

MyMusicNav.xml - replace <include>Object_InfoLines</include> with <include>Object_MovieInfoLines</include>


edit: Also you might want to place the album name control in Viewtype_Panel_Square.xml into a control group that contains <include>Animation_HiddenByInfo</include> ect.

Try this, it also has the artist logo in the space under the fanart.

Viewtype_Panel_Square.xml

Also Viewtype_FanartList.xml looks great in Artist and song views

Cheers.

ALAC flag




@sialivi
Blu-ray 3D flag




I'm presuming these flags should be named "alac.png" and "Blu-ray 3D.png" respectively. Hope they're okay.

I believe the other skins that support it use "3dbd.png"

Thanks Amra for the icon. I'm adding the alac icon but not the BR3D one because I'm not sure what the string is (I don't have any 3D BluRays). If someone can verify what the string should be (standard BR appears to be "bluray") then either I or Stoli will add it in.

Amra, is there anyway to take the Steampunk theme and add some led-light images to the bottom of the poster views? Basically, I'm looking for a skin that makes it look like scrolling through movie posters at a theater. I think the Steampunk one is close, but adding some lighting or bulbs, much like the menu on the original Metropolis theme, would look really cool.
