Tried it for a second this morning, wasn't too insane about it. I expected as much, considering I've got my own skin that I've hand-tailored to my likings. Stark looks breathtakingly wonderful and is very innovative, but I know which skin I'll be using.
Then again, I am a *tad* biased.

Instead of having current time and expected finish time I get all kinds of text like color ccaaabbaabbb etc. I will post a pic later. Also getting it in top right hand corner which normally shows runtime and elapsed
I know what you're talking about. I saw the same thing in the last build I tried. I believe that the color stuff also shows up wonky in the movie descriptions.
The same build also has an issue where one of the imagexxx.dll files failed to load, causing posters and fanart to not work or be downloaded...
I'll check and see what rev I have installed here, we'll have to call that one the best choice until those issues are resolved.

Thanks
I can't make any promises. I'm not sure which exact tags I use that have been added since Atlantis, but I do know that there are places where I use stringcompare() statements that don't seem to function properly. Or maybe it's substring().
TBH, I've read that even the developers now consider Atlantis to be outdated. There are a lot of bugs that have been fixed and improvements that have been made since 8.1. Serenity will have the majority of it's basic functionality, but some parts will just not work without the new skinning features.
Sorry. There's a reason I don't use linux...too much bash this and sudo that. I'm lazy in the sense that I want to be able to double click one thing and have it work. I'd rather spend my time working on something than trying to make it work, ya know?
