Hi guys,
I am using the new mod 5 and turned on 'Show Movie Status' to see the watched items. The red eye icons seem a bit misplaced though once you select a movie - it will show them in an almost random location (sometimes beneath the focused cover at the bottom, partially overlapped by the cover, other times under another cover of a movie that hasn't been watched). Some unwatched movies have a triangle with a movie strip on it too, while others don't.
Wouldn't it be easier (and aesthetically more interesting) to put those notifications on the big cover at the left top? Or resize the existing ones and put them in the corner of the cover in the scroll strip (if that's how it's called)?
How it looks now (disregard the stripes, that's an X window dump on Linux, it looks fine on-screen):
In this example, I have already watched Atonement (no watched icon), Batman (watched icon, ok), and Big Buck Bunny (which has a bigger watched icon due to being selected I assume, but which is positioned under The Blind Side), but I have not watched Azumi or Bandits - which have both watched icons. I haven't watched the Bourne Identity either.
