RE: [WIP] Metropolis skin - stoli - 2012-03-25
Any contributions are welcome. I'll be rather busy until the first of the month... And you are correct, very little has been done with the picture section and isn't really high on my list. So, code away and I'll be happy to include your contributions.

Thanks for the quick reply. Didn't want to start working on it if you'd already had big plans for it
I've already forked the repo and will make a branch for my changes. I've never worked on a skin before, but I should be able to manage. Obviously though, since I'm new to it, feel free to spot-check my changes.
One quick question: are you partial to the way the Grid view is now? I rather prefer the PicThumbs view from Confluence and am inclined to use that as inspiration if you have no objections.

jingai,
The current grid view for images is just a placeholder, a copy from Alaska. I don't think Amra even started adapting it for Metropolis.

@jingai,
I'm not partial to anything in the pic views. I'd love to see something new and unique as pic views seem to always be overlooked in most skins.

Fantastic. I've had so many ideas for the pic views. I'll just go nuts then
It'll probably take me a week or two to come up with something since I have never worked with skins before, but I'll ping ya again when I've something to pull.
I've already taken care of on my local branch:
* Allow user scrolling in TextViewer.
* Add Pictures to Addons submenu.
* Show Fanart for Pictures.
* Scale pictures to within the top part of the custom background.
The TextViewer really needs to be a complete window (with textures) though to be generic. The way it is now depends on each view ignoring it selectively, which is kind of a PITA. In the original skin it wasn't a big deal because it was only really used in one place, but addons can use it too which complicates it a bit.
I suck with graphics software, but I'll try my hand at it

Wow. This was the one substantial complaint I had about this skin, and now I'm going to remote into my HTPC box and get rid of it.
Thank you![/i]

Stoli,
I fixed everything I mentioned with the exception of fixing up the PictureGrid view. I'll get on that next.
Sending you a pull request in a moment.

RE: [WIP] Metropolis skin - homerjs - 2012-03-28
I have noticed that some of my movie descriptions, not all only a few, contain syntax "keywords":[kidnapper","prince", ....."runtime:93,"budget":60000.....
any ideas why?
I know it pulls the info from themoviedb but not sure why some contain the extra info
thanks
