Take a look at grid (icons) view. That's what my boys are using.

not sure if already in this topic. but it is possible to make an "autostart" option for audio streams? in confluence i had an option to save an link to a webradio stream or .pls file. so xbmc opens the stream directly after the start.

Hello,
Thanks for this excellent skin :-)
Not sure if this can be done, but is there a way that you could make it possible for a user to add a button to the Music home menu that takes you to the current playlist that is playing.

Hmm...
And you know you can get there via a) context menu and b) from options in music playing screen?

What remote do you use?
EDIT: I have moved playlist item in OSD in ver. 3.2.6
For Apple silver remote:
- Hold select on home to jump to music playing
- bring up OSD and press UP for quick jump to options
- queued playlist is first item
As an alternative you could remap remote key to open playlist directly.

Hey thanks for being so responsive :-) I use a Harmony remote, so there is already a button for quick access to the music playing screen, but I think people will find the Up shortcut to the options dialog useful, so thanks for that.
Sorry if I was unclear, when I said one button to access the queued playlist, I meant a GUI button—in other words, a menu item that we can select by scrolling down the Music menu on the home screen. Select that and boom: it takes you to the current playlist.
How XBMC handles music playlists has always been a bit strange, so I'd understand if this wasn't possible.

is it possible to change the size of the cd album cover in the "now playing" menu?
many older albums have crappy scraped images, bad compression, et cetera. looks not very good. perhaps it is possible to make an adjustment button in the skin settings to display the cover pictures at full size or 50% / 75% size.
and one more little thing: when you scroll to "now playing", quartz will show the actual played cover/song on top of the screen (in the main menu). the font is very light (in meaning of "not dark enough") for the background. very hard to read.

Hi, loving the skin, only one request, any chance of locally stored poster.jpg/banner.jpg support for tv shows so that either can be used without re-scaping?
Thanks

is it possible to show a various selection of movies instead of the "newest ones" in the head of the skin (the place where the pixar logo is (screenshot thread))
maybe it could be an option. "last added" or "various selection". so you have more individuality in the movies section.
