What about an option in the views menu to change the opacity of the theme overlay for certain views (such as movies/list) so that the fanart/poster behind was more visible and have the theme overlay applying instead to the active selection?

The net effect would be more visible art in the background but still visible navigation.

edit includesbackgrounds.xml and search for this:

Code:

<texture background="true">backgrounds/background.png</texture>

add the following on a new line below it:

Code:

<colordiffuse>66FFFFFF</colordiffuse>

Change the first 2 characters to make it more or less transparent - FF is the default, 00 means you won't see the overlay at all.

Do the same in the next section down if you use the vignette overlay too and want to alter that.

also, on the pause screen, there can be some overlapping when the episode name is rather long:

EDIT: Sorry, read the FAQ, my understanding is this will not be included in the skin.

I must be the only one who far prefers a green tick symbol of watched items than the blue plus symbol for unwatched, doesn't seem to make sense to me. The original author obviously HATES watched symbols or something given his stern answer on the matter lol.

Otherwise this Mod is near on perfect, i try other skins but keep coming back to this one

Yeah, I unfortunately rely on the watched indicator quite a bit because my wife and I watch some shows at different times and the 'watched' flag indicator helps us in resetting the flag for the other person to watch.

two things i'd like to change:
aside from the aforementioned inclusion of watched indicators, would it be possible to remove the genres in music->artist view?
when i scroll through the artist list, it looks too cluttered with the music genre underneath each artist's name.

• New Xperience1080 adapted OSD.
  
• New optional watched overlay.
  
• Addition of three opacity settings to the default one.

I changed the Watched symbol to a corner marker white tick on a green background (to mirror the style of the blue unwatched symbol) because i found the light grey Tick was getting lost in episode thumbnails, particularly old black and white shows. I did notice the 45x45 graphic it uses aligns to the right of the episode thumb, but doesn't match to the bottom of the thumbnail though, unless it's like that by design.

Still, i'm super happy that this option is in there now and it's easy to change the overlay to suit personal preference.

Props for having such a refreshing attitude to user feedback and updating

If you meant the Skin itself, i just unzip it into the Addons folder. I've only just started using XBMC in the last month or so therefore others would probably be better qualified to answer that question lol. If you meant updating the Watched Indicator...

In the skins folder in the Media folder there's a 45x45 png 'OverlayWatched'. I just changed the graphic and resaved it.

Because it doesn't go to the bottom of the episode thumbnail if you do a corner marker like i did (the blue unwatched marker will show what i mean) i just make it so the green didn't go all the way to the right so it looked more even.
