jurial: a few suggestions:
On-screen video OSD - any chance of resolution and audio tags there as there are with the tabbed and offset OSDs? Also when watching a TV show, the season and episode number scroll with the plot. Personal preference would be that this remains static and only the plot scrolls. Would also be great to have discart in the on-screen video OSD mode. And one last thing with video on-screen OSD, is it possible to replace the elapsed time with remaining time?
In the Info List view, none of the items scroll information, so long show and movie names are cut-off and you can't see the season and episode numbers for these TV shows when used for New Shows, as an example.
In Dark Mode (which is my preference) the extended home panel for the widgets remains the same colour as in Default Mode, which makes it seem a little out of place. I have no idea about the skinning limitations, but would it not be possible make this panel blurred/semi-transparent instead? I reckon it would look pretty awesome if it could blur it somewhat like Apple does with their menus and would showcase more of the fanart in the background.
In the weather view, I have set my conditional weather fanart and it works great for the panels showing each day's weather, but the background remains the same. Is this default behaviour? If so, is it possible to set the background as the current weather fanart instead?
Last suggestion: any chance of enabling more views within addons, so that video and music addons can take advantage of the great views in the TV Show and Music views? This would allow larger thumbnails and so on for video addons, as an example.
One thing I've noticed is that sometimes switching skins doesn't work. I try, but it defaults back to your skin and loses the appearance settings when this happens (on Gotham nightlies). Is this a Gotham bug?
And then a quick question: what is Default (Fade Covers) mode? I can't seem to tell what this does.
Once again, this is my favourite XBMC skin and as a WIP, I thought I'd share my feedback and suggestions.
