Ah ok. Why not add cases to 5? Is it a lot of work and does it make the skin heavier?

After playing around with the various views in version 4, I have a few requests:
Could you improve the readability of text in Tri-Panel view?
I find the text on the left margin of the third panel difficult to read at times, especially when there is a lot to read. Moving the video case slightly to left, as in version 4, frees up more space to legibly read what is there.
Add the option for extended info as opposed to genre information in more views.
Most views in version 4, such as poster, shift and icons, benefit from having extended info in lieu of an infopanel.
Can you add an option to remove coverflow from Showcase view?
I prefer the side-by-side nature of movie scrolling as opposed to the standard coverflow.
Provide some type of flag to identify sets.
With BD/DVD cases being removed, it is difficult to identify sets in a large catalog of movies. Some types of flag for movie sets would make identifying sets easier.

Firat of all great skin. I'm already using it in my htpc and it works very well.
I have 2 questions.
1) is it possible to limit the dvd cases background of new episodes to unwatched one? At least for me it doesn't have a lot of sense to have the cover of something watched
2) is it too hard/too difficult to implement the automatic use of the playlist (creating automatically the 2nd limited playlist) for widget, background DVD cases, info line, background artworks etc etc in case I select a playlist as a menu destination (like aeon mq5 does)?
It could be quicker to set up everything, easier for noobs and of course if someone would need to hange that it could manually change it from the settings(maybe hidden under advanced options)

Any reason why the "recent episodes" widget (so, the serice.library.data.provider plugin) on tvshows is only giving me one entry per update? (of course i'm adding more than 1 episode!)

sorry if this has been covered already,
but are there future plans to enhance the "Pictures" view/module.
I notice there are lots of views, widgets and enhancements for movies, videos and music.
but for pictures there is just "list"

So, my Media Center updated to Nox 5 when I turned it on this evening. Nox 4 has disappeared from my skin choices. Not sure how that happened, but more importantly, can't figure out how to get Artist Slideshow to run. I like having the pictures it downloads of the artists on screen while my music plays. Do I need to go grab the version of 4.1.9 that's being ported to Gotham, or is Nox 5 going to get Artist Slideshow support? If there are no plans for AS, that's fine - it's the only plug-in I care about, and I'll switch skins to keep it.
