Paul,
I like this... I always have problems reading the small fonts.
Also, it would be great if you could add an option for an Alaska style horizontal home menu... I think it looks very elegant and clean. And IMO much more visually appealing than a vertical menu.
thx for considering.
I'm not an expert but I play one at work.

Hello all,
I'm really sorry for those questions, maybe already known by all...but i didn't find anything related in the forum.
1. I love slideshow of fanart in the top menu. But it didn't work now, nothing appears, and i think i know what (but i don't know how to correct this...) : in the options, i can activate the "use slideshow", but then, this will hide the 'use custome slideshow' option...if i disable 'use slideshow' then this will show the 'use custom slideshow'...weird !
EDIT : I just found why : the path to the fanarts (special://profile/thumbnails/video/fanart) is empty, but i have all fanarts in each film folder : how can i automatically fullfill the fanart's path ?
2. I wanted to use CdArt, CDArt manager is installed, it downloaded some stuff (album, artist logo), when i open the addon in 'addon programs' i can see the albums. But nothing appears on the general menu, or in the music menu. I tried to open contextual menu on the general menu, but nothing more than options sleeping related...
Some ideas please ?
Thanks for your time, please take this cookie for all the stuff you made, it's purely amazing !
(and sorry for my english !)

Hi all,
Absolutely loving this skin so far. One question though; I used banners for my TV art, and when I go into a TV show that has multiple seasons, the poster image for "all seasons" is distorted and "squished". Is there any way to get around that? It may not even be related to the fact that I use banners; just pointing it out. I have seen others post on the basic reFocus thread that this is an issue, and it won't be addressed by the author.
How do people get around it?
Cheers all, any help would be great.

For those of you that are running this skin on linux (I'm running XBMC on OpenElec), there is something you have to change in order to get certain menu sounds working properly. Or anyway, that was the case for me. With the default skin sounds, I couldn't get any sounds when going down and up the menus, which usually would trigger the following .wav file \.xbmc\addons\skin.refocus.big\sounds\Cursor.wav
As linux is case sensitive, I had to modify the following lines in the file \.xbmc\addons\skin.refocus.big\sounds\sounds.xml in order to get the up/down sound on the menus working :
<action>
<name>up</name>
<file>cursor.wav</file>
</action>
<action>
<name>down</name>
<file>cursor.wav</file>
</action>
<action>
to
<action>
<name>up</name>
<file>Cursor.wav</file>
</action>
<action>
<name>down</name>
<file>Cursor.wav</file>
</action>
<action>
Love this skin, keep up the good work.
Cheers

Never been a huge fan of the refocus font - especially on the home screen. Has anyone tried using this skin with the Android roboto font? Really love that font, but not sure how well it'd work.
