hey pecinko, like this skin much and use it for a couple of month now.
but two thing im missing:
- first, i wrote some weeks before, i'm missing update und clean buttons (maybe under Videos), i have to write it alway by myself into
- second thing is, a sound feedback for left/right klicks. a simple short sound would be great
regards from germany

Hallo
You can make updates auto-clean library http://forum.xbmc.org/showthread.php?tid...pid1465285.
You can use auto-update library on startup or periodically via add-on or manually from context menu.
In addition, as items on home could be customisable I have no guarantee user did not disable Videos.

periodically update is not an option too, because xbmc isn't running alle the time on my atv.
i know this buttons in other skins under the video menu. it could be located under other menus too.
i would like to see the buttons in the skin, it make my workflow easier and i cant decide when i want make a update

Sorry, you will have to use context menu like the rest of us or you can make changes yourself and send a pull request on git - and I will add it to a skin.
It should work for both horizontal and vertical main menu and should be optional.
Note though that I will never accept "clean library" into the skin for various reasons.

I just created my first forum account, just to tell you how wonderful your Amber skin really is!
Your work on this lightweight, still beautiful skin, is just perfect!
Apart from that I would like to add a couple of thoughts to this fine project!
I think some things should get some minor rework so the whole skin fits in your current art / style of Amber.
The breadcrumbs
I think they are perfect, but could get some minor reworks.
The breadcrump-info for movies, tv shows, etc... should be in the left top corner.
This makes the view a bit less cluttered and clearer.
Reformat time/date: Mon, 1 January 2013 ● 22:00
Reformat Movies: Movies: 200 ● Watched: 150 ● Unwatched: 50
Reformat TV Shows: TV Shows: 20 ● Episodes: 1200 ● Unwatched: 220
I would also like to see these formats used in the Movies / TV Shows menu. (Now only current time is shown)
I repeat, this skin is really the best welterweight skin for XBMC! I just wanted to add my thoughts and possibly make it even better for all of us.
Hello pecinko!
I hope you are having a good summer!
Have you thought about this suggestion? There were a couple of users who liked the idea.
It would make the skin look just that bit more finished for full release.
Keep up the good work!

Hi, love the skin!!
Is it possible to put programs in the menu (just like you do add-ons)? Thats the big thing that im missing...
Am i just missing something obvious, or is there no way to do that?

I have my Tv-Show Seasons on Panel view. But the rating stars don't fill up at all.
Another suggestion:
Why not use 10 stars instead of 5 stars for rating (List, Low List, Panel, Big Panel)
You have the space to do this, so why not?

@pecinko
I wonder if you've seen this thread:
http://forum.xbmc.org/showthread.php?tid...pid1466275
It tuns out the act of animating the "Working..." spinner can make the busy operation take 40% longer (on a Pi), than with the animation disabled.
Could you make an option to replace the animated spinner with a static image when busy?
Might make the skin feel a lot faster.

Cool find, this would be very helpful on low end boxes like the R-Pi and Pivos XIOS.

In vertical home menu, shouldn't I be able to select favorite from the homescreen shortcuts like new movies, etc?

In vertical home you should have first 5 favourite items automaticaly on shelf. So you go to favourites and use context menu to move up those 5 items you want on shelf. Or did I misunderstood question?

They are there.
But when you click on them, nothing happens.

Ok, I'm investigating favourites problem and will think about busy dialog.
