1) no. but chances aren´t too bad that it will be added.
2) AdvancedLauncher support will be looked on a bit later. everything here is WIP, so some things have to wait a bit.

thx. we´re pretty confident too that 3.0 will set a new benchmark for xbmc skins.
concerning your suggestions: possible that we´ll add bigfan to music (i doubt that we´ll add it to RCB though)
our main focus is definitely to make most use of the current availabe viewtypes than adding new ones.

Thanks for the reply. I believe it makes sense to re-use Viewtypes which have a part of the Nox family. It kind of adds to the uniformaty of the skin. I think if ShowCase is used in one section, it would be nice to be able to use it other sections as well. Consistently adds a touch of professionalism I reckon.

Would be nice to see BigFan in music. It has a certain element of surprise I just can't get over, but that may just be my femme side speaking out loud. Anyhow, tried to add BigFan to music and advanced launcher myself, but I'm no skinner. I'm certainly a code breaker though! Isn't 'Undo' useful!

if you decide to start with modding, i strongly recommend to use github. in combination with smartGIT you´ll have a very good starting point. clone our repo and play with the software a bit. once you get used to it it is much easier to see/revert changes you made. and it is also very easy to keep your modded version up to date with latest changes.

Will keep GitHub in mind, but yeah, I'd prefer to leave the coding to the pro's. Whenever I decide to open xml files, either some major disaster happens somewhere in the world, or the entire world has another resession. It's not pretty!

From my earlier exploits, I managed to get BigFan showing up in the MediaMenu, and the view showing up behind everything else on screen when in music or programs. It was a true shocker!
