Good work! I like this skin because it's not as dark as others Smile

A litte bug: progress bar and description in view for epg-timeline are overlapping if text of description is longer.

Thanks for the compliments guys.

@_BJ1 - thanks for the bug report, I have attempted to fix this...but never have any descriptions long enough to test it!

Update on Github
#6
Same thing happened on info-view if live tv is in fullscreen and the view with current/next is selected. Also the background (colors) doesn't match the theme (summer breeze in this case). But as I say it's a good work.

#7
@_BJ1 - a fix for the overlap is now on Github, with regards the background colour not matching the theme I must admit this is not a strong area of mine yet as I am still learning how to skin, however try as I might I cannot see what is missing or wrong..can you explain again please so I can what should be adapted?

A few more changes on Github

- Better control of extra fanart for homescreen and views:

- Always use overlay on video and music information screens (regardless of the show extra fanart settings):

I'll try to explain. I've choosen the "summerbreeze" theme which has lighten background colors (light grey/white) instead of dark grey colors. I've modified my screenshot (playing with contrast/luma) to see what I mean. It should be like the modified shot.

Oh I see what you mean now, I also use the summerbreeze theme but never noticed it before. I will have a look after I finish my next addition which is to be able to view the concerts of a given artist in your music library.
#10
Added Show upcoming concerts for a given Artist (only shown if the concerts are found) on Github

Image

@_BJ1 - the change you mentioned is to add the correct icon to the summerbreeze theme, I do not have the theme icons though so please ask for this in Saste's thread as he can add this and I will pull in his changes once made.
#11
Added option to restrict showing of even more fanart to video and music views only - on Github

Image

Added option to show lighter overlay on osd

Hi im85288,

I very much like your skin. I started with Black's original "xperience1080"-skin, moved to crni's mod "xperience1080+", then to Saste's mod "xperience1080+ Rainbow (CYMK)" and now to your version. Every step an improvent to the previous. Are you planning to implement all further changes of the other ones into your mod?

Now what I am missing in all of the mentioned versions is support for music videos. XBMC itself offers the ability to have them organized and scraped separately and most of the other skins do offer a separte view modes. Do you intend to implement such feature as well?

Brgds,

FantasticN

Added Alternate OSD - on Github

@fantasticn - thanks for the good words, I must admit to not having any music videos, but I am sure it will not be too difficult to include a view for them. After a break for a bit I will take a look into it and post back.

Update - added alternate OSD to RightList View - on Github
#14
Nice Job! Been running your mod since you released it and downloading it now for these alternate OSDs Wink

No prob. Good work must be acknowledged (which of course applies to Black, crni and Saste as well). As to the music videos: It is mostely concert movies. I actually did not have them seperate from my other movies either until I realized that XBMC was offering a separate library/scraper for them. That was the reason I now put all music videos und concert videos in a separate folder, as XBMC demands, and had them scraped separately. However, afterwards I realized that unfortunately the xperience skin is not offering a menu item to show them (whereas other skins like the standard "confluence" do have it integrated in the main menu). This means xperience actually does not support all native XMBC-options yet. So appart from visual enhancements it would maybe be a good idea to add the missing features.

Brgds,

FantasticN
