Hello and sorry for my long absence.

@ ndeshmukh
If you want to have a LowList in movie library just copy both files to the directory skin.confluence/720p/ and replace existing.

@ mad-max
You can extract these two files and put LowList view in your mod.

Regss.

Thanks a lot Jezz_X for the new confluence skin

I'm doing a few tweaks to make it closer to my tastes, here an example:



I have only a little concern about the Recent added (film or episode) widget:

I'm a backdrops lover and I think that new widget (a window for every title) cover a little too much background. The old school widget was more descreet IMHO.

Here the exemple of background covered:

Hi I have some suggestions regarding Confluence 2.1.0

1) When you scroll left or right on the home menu, it keeps the current item in the centre of the screen. But then when you get to the outermost left or right item, it doesnt centre them. It seems kind of jarring and unintuitive.

2) When you go to a home menu item like Movies or TV Shows and press 'down' to get to the submenu, it should go to the centre item in the sub menu instead of the left one.

3) Get rid of that big ugly grey banner on the bottom that says xbmc. It looks really ugly/imposing. It doesnt even go away when I use custom backdrops. I think everybody using XBMC already knows that they are using XBMC.

4) The menu bar is too low. It creates visual tension by having something close to centre but not quite. Either move it down to where it is obvious that the off-centre nature is deliberate, or else centre it perfectly.

I really like the clean and easy looking interface Confluence use. However I also would like an option to disable the XBMC logo on the homescreen, is it possible?

These are my suggestions for the final skin. I know many of these have been mentioned, but I just wanted to repeat them.

- Bring back the shutdown menu icons. The icons were large, distinct and easy to understand. The new shutdown menu is much harder to distinguish.

- Remove the XBMC logo. Looks tacky and does not match the smooth look of the rest of the home screen.

- Lower the menu bar. It blocks too much of the backdrop.

- Remove the "dark filter" that dims the upper half of the backdrop when music is playing. Not only does it block the backdrop, but it only blocks half and stops abruptly. Why do we have this?

- Remove the media player controls on the home screen. It blocks too much of the backdrop, looks tacky and does not match the smooth look of the rest of the home screen. Does anybody actually use these controls instead of a remote control or keyboard shortcut?

For anybody that wants to manually edit these changes on their own, please see my post here: http://forum.xbmc.org/showthread.php?tid=114405
