Enable "USE MEDIA CASE" on the top menu.
Got another one that looks a bit funny.

The Music widget shows "Recently added tracks". This looks strange as most of the time your recently added tracks will be from the same album so it just displays the same album artwork for every track in the widget.

This would be better if it was "Recently added albums" instead.

Sorry, I misunderstood what you were asking for (cdART). You can get those with Artwork Downloader.
I love this theme. I like themes with lots of widgets and customization, but I don't like themes that take up a ton of resources, which seem to be all of them on Frodo but confluence and this one. I have a really beefy HTPC because I also game with it, but I don't like having my cpu at 5-10% in idle and when I'm playing movies. Thanks for making this.

A few comments/questions.

First, turning on extra-fanart in movies seems to hit the cpu harder than it does in other skins. I saw a 3-4% jump from that.

Is there a way to choose which widgets show up on the main menu? I also would like to change their position. Having the movies widget one at the top means the faces of the actors in fan art background are usually covered.

Can you add an option to turn off the cases in movies? Under panel for example, I just want to see the movie posters and not have a case surrounding them. Also being able to disable the grey background of widgets/panels would be cool. It makes the skin look better if the stuff is just floating above the background and not on its own panel imo.

Thanks for the great work.

Edit: is there any way to turn off the scrolling of the genres in music? That eats up a lot of cpu.
Cinema Experience is not working with new ACE skin. Please help

Just navigate to the top of the widget and press 'Enter' and select albums instead.
Nuovo problema .. vorrei sapere perché quando inizia la seconda canzone sparisco sempre le informazioni ( New problem .. I would like to know why when the second song disappear forever information )

Can you please stick to English only?
Thx Smile
First off, great skin.
I loved Cirrus v2 but since v3 took a turn that I don't like I'm glad Ace is here to bring up the slack.

I have a couple issues though...

1. When I go to my TV show list I only see the banner art but not the logos I downloaded. Do I need to name them anything different than logo.png in the root of the show?
Image

2. Because I only see the banner I don't want to change it to a poster because it ruins the fanart. And of course this make the Recently Added widget on the home screen look really weird.
Image
Could there be a option to show the fanart or better yet the episode image?

3. Last, the pause screen is a little crazy.
Image
Maybe it's just me but I like less clutter and this is a bit much.

I hope I'm not too annoying and thank you again for the great skin.

Hi Marcos, i have yet a couple of things:

- In the fixed list u mentioned "Fixed: Music FullScreen and Extrafanart." Does this mean i get the extrafanart from the artist im listening music from? i still dont get extra fanart from the artist when listening to music, same path set in MQ4 works perfectly just not in Ace.

- Matter of taste perhaps. When listening to music the "next track" section is way to big. Could you implement the option to turn it off or make it smaller (like in MQ4 it was the same size as the RSS feed)

- implement the option to turn of the recently viewed stuff?, i.e. when watching a movie but turning it off half way and standing on main menu ' movie' that it doesnt tell me i watched 50% of a movie and can continue it from main menu. (same goes for music and TV-shows). You had the option to turn it off in MQ4

- TV shows the Wide view can you implement the option where you can enable "show extrafanart" under Art so we dont see an ugly image from a tv episode.

- implement the option to hide library stats in home menu

- implement the option to turn of the blue blinkind dot that has a text next to it i.e. saying 'addon'

- when usising the addon "The Trailer" and with that using the panel view it doesnt give a picture on the right side instead there is a black picture with the ace logo. In MQ4 you would see the poster image of the trailer. could you fix this?

thanks!

Jim, i'm Italian too, but this forum is in english only. Don't worry for mistakes, most of people here give you an answer. Please , stop Italian. (or pm me if you need). Wink

Marcos, thanks for the skin, is really beauty and fast.
Is possible have the textures not compressed ? (I want a left menu more "blue") or if you show me the path in the textures, i'm happy.
BIG Thanks.

2nd are there any plans to include a landscape view (landscapex) as there is in aeon mq3, this is my preferred view for tv shows,
as this is all that's stopping me from using this great skin on all my machines.
