some opinions/ideas about glow mode for home would be nice. i think it fits better to the rest of the skin when using colors especially.
lot of fanart is hidden by the new panels , so i think it´s ok to darken the background. sets the viewer´s focus more to the widgets.

Agree 100%. Home really needs to highlight new/featured content, some form of fanart on home is sufficient. New glow mode really makes the menu options and widgets pop out which is what the focus on the home screen should be.

And I personally like it a lot better now that the background is dimmed. The fact that the animated backgrounds on home were giving me vertigo and they are now dimmer also helps lol

Where fanart is important is on the actual tv/movie views. Which has always been one of my qualms about poster focused viewtypes as they really cover up major parts of the fanart

Also, its all about choices right? If someone wants the fanart highlighted on home, then they have the option to stick with the smaller widgets and not activate the glow mode

I agree with this. I find the glow mode to be a very nice subtle touch to a very impressive looking home screen. It does bring attention to the panels and widgets that some people might miss. With Glow mode and the alternate RSS feed it really does look gorgeous. And very easy to read. Just the right amount of glow too. It's not overwhelming everything. The dim to the fanart is perfect for the whole effect as well. And as Noner said, those that want more fanart are very much welcome to turn it all off to their liking.

I've always enjoyed the glow of the original Aeon65 and when Nox came around to putting a theme for for "Neon65" I used it there too. So I'm thrilled it's come over and been expanded upon. Great job not making it blaring and keeping a subtle touch through the skin.
