Sorry if that sounds overly negative, or ungrateful. But it's one of the main reasons i've held off becoming a VIP, to be brutally honest.

I may have grossly misunderstood the situation and if I have I sincerely apologise, but I have used the mq skins now for a long time and one thing that bothers me is the 'VIP' thing.

'VIP' just means somebody who has contributed monetarily to the project, am I right? And for that they get access to some special releases or something? I haven't donated as of yet, but to be honest I cannot see any reason why I would. Unless the VIPs are treated to a version that is working and us poor plebs are not privy to it yet? If I had donated and was told the skin was scrapped and to be replaced by something else, I would be extremely annoyed.

So really, I have to echo the sentiments above - is this the end of MQ4, only to be replaced by 'Ace'? And if so, how do you explain that to the poor saps who have donated and more to the point, how do you expect any others to donate?

So you "have used the mq skins now for a long time" and have not donated nor see "any reason why I would"
That about says it all really!

Donating is, (Just my opinion and how I feel), appreciation for the very long hours/days/weeks/months if not years work previously done and the use/enjoyment I have already gotten from the long hours of work and frustration put in by the person/people who create this skin.
VIP status, anything additional to VIP's now or in the future is to me a Bonus! In other words I would have donated regardless.

Every time I read these posts that claim to be grateful But have issues with donating or not donating, the small and usually quickly resolved problems with the skin etc. I wonder why and how these developers keep going and doing what they do!

Personally. I have already got well more than my moneys worth from my relatively small donation!
Honestly. If I had of created a skin anywhere near as good as this with the hours of work involved. I would be charging a hell of a lot more than giving it away and politely asking for a small donation of appreciation and be far ruder with non contributors then these gentlemen are!

And if everyone is honest with yourself I would bet you would also!
If not, then I look forward to whatever you do/make/create/build being given away for me to try shortly from you.

Although I use MQ3/4/Ace I appreciate all of the developers of not only these skins but of XBMC itself.
IMHO they Do Not here praise nearly often enough.

This really is not aimed at anyone in particular I just get tired of reading through complaints, questioning the developers requesting even a small contribution for their great work, and people too focused on what will receive rather than showing appreciation for what they have already gotten!

You don't donate because you get something out of it. You do it to show you appreciate the hard work someone has put into a 'product' you enjoy, and has then distributed for free.

If that’s the attitude you have you should stay away from open source products and stick to the far inferior, commercial resources and software available.

When on the main menu, press the down arrow until the bottom menu shows. Scroll across to the 'Furniture' tab, and then an option to 'hide in-progress' or something along those lines will appear. Choose this and it will disappear.

Is there any way to only disable the progress window for TV leaving the Movies one enabled?
