Hello!
I'm using XBMC since ages, I never been as satisfied as I am with Conq skin... It's elegant, beautiful, sleek and run smoothly on any configs...
But there's a few things that old me back to say it's the best skin ever (it's my favorite though)
I wish there was an alternate view style as the one below:
Displaying the movies ratings instead of how many movies I have in my library, the studio logo on the bottom left, the director's name bellow the movie genre, and some details about the movie bellow (720p/1080p, AAC/AC3..., movie duration)
with an information panel appearing after 3 to 5 seconds like this:
Giving the plot on the left side of the cover with Clearlogo when available, DiscArt on the right with a thumb diplayed underneath (with possibly an alpha mask to hide the edge on the left of the thumb)
I would also love the fanarts to be supported on Advanced Launcher like pictured bellow:
Which also brought me to think about an alternate view with full support of Advanced Launcher:
A view looking alike Wide for the movies, with game year+genre bellow title, studio and finally platform. With a possible support for .png files showing the number of players the game supports.
With also an expanded info panel appearing after 3 to 5 seconds, like this:
This would already be a wonderful improvement!
There's also other things I would like to modify... The OSD:
I would like it to be like this when the movie is paused:
Showing plot, Cover, DiskArt and ClearLogo, automatically when the movie is paused
then be like the following while playing:
Displaying ClearLogo above the OSD
With a subtle submenu for subtitles, allowing us to switch betwin subtitles easily, or to download new ones:
The Download button would pop-up the classic Subtitles download window
At last, the is a big issue for me with this skin, it is sometimes quite hard to know if a submenu is arround, I wish I could diplay an arrow like this:
If all of this could be implanted, it would trully become the best skin ever to me! I am also willing to do it by myself, but honestly I'm kinda confused about which files should I edit, if anyone can give me some advices... I dunno where to start!
Thanks!
