Hi llldefconlll.
I already answered your post in the View Types suggestions thread.
You could edit the xml's yourself, but let me give it a shot first.
I will see what I can do. If it looks good, I'll include it in the skin.

Could you make sure it really big, lik 9/10 heigh and 15 width is maybe a nice option?
And not to be rude, but any idea when there will be a update so i can put it in my agendar when i can check or when can i subscribe for update reports?

You can install my repository manually from zip to automatically receive the latest development updates. Download it using this link.
Official updates will get released once every 4-8 weeks or when I find suitable. Development updates from my own repo will probably get pushed several times a week.

Be aware that having a lot of posters in the wall requires a lot of memory for the textures and a lot of time to decode the jpegs.
Are you suggesting a 10x15 wall of posters? So 150 jpegs to load and decode before you get to see them? I fear this will be very slow.

Yeah, I have similar concerns.
Right now I'm trying out 5x14 posters, but still, that is resulting in 70 jpg's. Maybe that would slow things down too much?
On my test computer, things are loading rather quickly, but I fear that this will not be the case with lower powered systems.

at least we can try, 4 rows is ok for another skin, so we can at least add one column or row

I have decided to add a view option for a 5x14 poster wall for movies and tv shows.
This will be pushed to my repo when finished and added in the next official update.

Just wanted to give a big thumbs up for providing this option. This basically covers the one thing I always felt was lacking from this skin. Great work!
