Looks great otherwise, Deano, and I'm happy to hear that the tagline gradient isn't finished (so I'll leave that alone!).

The more I see your screenshots with the lower gradient on the bottom, the more I like it You can see much more of the fanart and thats a plus.
Having the logo down at the bottom was a huge improvement as well, glad that got Implemented and great work on that too!

My opinion about the rating flag is that I really like the smaller one that's there now. It's about the same size as the other three icons, and I think it all balances out perfectly.
Again, that's just my opinion, and hope it doesn't offend...

The view is still not finished as the new gradient for the tagline isn't done yet, but you can still enjoy the view and play around with it to see what you think. The only things I haven't posted is the font I used which is not included with Nox. It's called Univers 59 Ultra Condensed and it's not free to use. How you source it is up to you. Although, you can use any font you like as long as you place the it in the font folder of Nox, and edit line 259 of the font.xml. Insert the name of your font here and it will work fine. I've also not included the code for removing the tooltip, as it doesnt bother everyone. If you need to know what to do please post below and I'd be happy to oblige.

So enough talk, here you go:

Font.xml: http://pastebin.com/Wsu2MadU
Includes_MediaFlags.xml: http://pastebin.com/rz3fjHsw
Includes_MediaMenu.xml: http://pastebin.com/yBPjUze8
Includes_Viewtypes.xml: http://pastebin.com/8miFAYa4
Viewtype_Landscape.xml: http://pastebin.com/ubmdRCY5

It's just a case of copying these and pasting them over the top of the existing .xmls in Nox-1080i. If you do it correctly it should look something like the pics below:









Here's one with no tagline. An animation has now been added which removes the dark gradient when no tagline is present:



Let me know thoughts and impressions below, it's nice to know where we're going right or wrong. Do you like it? Do you hate it? Criticism and input welcome as always.

Yes, I sure do. Gives a nice touch to the trailers when the overlay is on.

That does make me think of another possible future mod to this view though...

What are your thoughts about disabling the now playing text in the upper left hand corner, while the trailer is playing?
Would make for a cleaner looking screen, with less distraction imo.

Have a new gradient to try and have tweaked the size of the ratings flag to restore some balance:


What do you think, improvement or step back? I've only spent a short while on this as I've just finished work and it's nearly 5am Just wanted to get it out there ready for some feedback in the morning. Although, and this could be the sleep deprivation talking, it's not looking good for the long logo right now. Any smaller and it will be illegible.

I'm even liking the bigger ratings flag with the way you have it set up now.

Great work!
