referring to my test, it was done on one machine, using a quad core cpu, 8 gb of ram and a hd 3650 with 512 mb of ram, so i most likely say it's not my machine that suffers from more thumbs, simply the gui becomes noticeable slower in that view with more thumbs. even the info window appearance (setting to auto) suffers from that. scrolling feels like someone used a handbrake.

it's not that i don't understand why you would like to see more thumbs, trust me. but please also understand our goal is to get a smooth, working skin with as less issues as possible but still looking good, so we have to live with some compromises here, which also comes from the fact we are bound to the possibilities the skinning engine of today gives to us.

and hell yeah, aeon is a freakin' slow skin compared to others anyway, even without the additions/mods. showmix 2.0 is much faster than the original aeon auriga, which is the result of countless hours of working, coding and optimisation by andy and endless debugging/testing by me, too - we like to keep it fast now..

Ok, lets say that also the other skin got the behavior. But you say that the flat view is easier. Sure, but I can also see in flat. I would like to use flat if it only worked with dynamic.

I think the "not flat" view is "fun" the first time you wanna impress someone.

i think my self confidence is no topic in here, is it? Rolleyes of course, all what i've add to showmix is just because i can add it.

by the way: i've overseen the trouble on your first screenshot. looks like a show with no poster adopts the previous picture. i have seen this many times on aeon in different situations, this surely can be fixed.

Was just joking. =)

It would be great if it could be fixed. Its a simulare problem with the posters when you scroll very fast, as I said.

I'm not sure if I'm using the correct terms...but how many covers should I be getting in non-dynamic cover flow view? I get 7, but some of the screen shots show more. I now there are previous posts discussing this change, but it appears as if those refer to the dynamic coverflow. Just curious if the non-dynamic is the same. Also I notice in some of videos displaying the skin, the options to change the views are at the top of the screen and mine are at the left side....is this only on the newest build or is that something I can change?

Thanks in advance.

the number of available thumbs in multiplex view is 15 as mentioned in some posts before and even shown on the last screenshot from soder.

the videos you saw are rather outdated. i'll put a new one on youtube soon. currently i'm working at the wiki to reflect version 2.0 of showmix.

and no, the vertical menu is the new standard; no more "on top" settings for showmix.

Indeed, it just plain cool to have all the info possible. I know I will never watch all the trailers,, but its just plain neat. Cool

i don't think that's really a similar problem. that "replacement" of a non-existant thumb with the previous shown was introduced on the first upcoming extrathumbs, too.. it's just some missing code that clears the thumb so it won't be displayed on a field with missing image.

the scrolling "problem" really shows that the gui/skin simply cannot refresh fast enough in that view with 15 thumbs. edit: that's why andy implemented the letter display on fast scrolling, so you get an idea where you are when scrolling fast.

No worries. I didn't mean to push the issue. I just wanted to make sure I was clear.
[BTW, how in the world do you keep everyone's issue sorted in your head?! I'm dizzy just reading all the different posts.]
