That's the latest one available. I'll be looking to upload a new version hopefully later tonight / early tomorrow morning.

New update now available from here! Big Grin

New List Info for TV Shows / Seasons / Episodes - this also works for Poster art now too.

Posters are now toggled in the Skin Settings > Media > Use Posters instead of Banners for TV Shows

I'll be uploading a color theme template shortly to help those of you who wish to create more colors. I've tried to keep the amount of color images needed to change to a minimum. Where possible, I use a <colordiffuse> overlay to color the image.

As always let me know of possible bugs, suggestions, etc. I'll be focusing on setting the mod up for localization in the next update. That means countless strings need to be found and added to the string.xml file. Fun stuff for sure! Laugh

We are not all in Qualar's Kitchen. lol. Great work so far, good to see you enjoying the challenge. By the way what are you doing with the Push View ?. I am curious! Cool

I'm still using both, undecided as of yet - I think they're both fantastic though!

kautious · 2009-12-04, 21:37

Yea!

Whats up with the "Push View"
It keep taking me back to "Icon View"

I don't know if all the mods that are out for this skin are using the same "Recently Added" script, but I noticed on my xbox
Qualar Mod loads faster when I go back to the home screen than this one. Is there a delay some where I can change this?

Push view is something I'm still working on. I just forgot to disable the button for it in the menu. As for the Recently Added script, I've changed the way it checks it. It should only run after a scan now and on startup instead of every time you go to the Home screen. This differs from Qualar's mod unless he's taken that part of my script as well. Not sure as I haven't tried his version yet so I can't confirm.

It may be a list population problem as you're pulling the fanart from your networked drives instead of the covers like Qualar is. I've recently started looking at a different way of displaying the Recently Added info. I really like the way Hitcher is doing it with the Alaska skin. I'll update when I've finalized things.

Very Sexy

That side looks a little thick. Are you going to scale down the icons and text?

Hi I really like this skin thanks for all your hard work. One question is it possible to disable fanart in some of the tv and movie views I am running on an apple TV and I find any skin is sluggish when fanart is displayed.

Thank you

Nah, I think I'll be keeping it that size. I've been testing it out for the last couple of days and it's not that bad. Besides...how often is anyone actually staring at the home screen? That said, everything will be in the vertical menu, from the recently added to the submenus. It's completely self-contained.

As always though, it's an option. It's not on by default and the horizontal (original) menu will always be there.

Tell me which views needs the option and I'll add that in. Big Grin
