Wanted to report some bugs/ suggestions that I also encountered:
1. The trailer button at the top overlaps the movie plot. I know it's at the top now because someone requested that option, but I think it's much better at the bottom. Also more intuitive when it's at the bottom, that pressing up shows the trailer. Maybe make it optional to place at bottom or top?
Turning the trailer button off in the options also doesn't seem to work.
2. I think the skin is a bit to cluttered now for people who use a remote. The music control menu is redundant when using a remote. Can this be turned off?
3. Same goes for the little help menu in the middle. It's not really necessary, most people know what up and down does. Make this optional as well?
4. When accessing the recently added widget, pressing "right" accesses the style menu. I think all style changes should be left at the skin settings menu. Adding it at the widget itself makes navigating a bit confusing. Rather have it that pressing right returns to the main menu bar, just like pressing left.
So all in all the skin really is great (love the banner view for TV Shows!), but I think some things should be made optional to keep a clean look and make navigating easier, especially for people who use this on their televison sets with a remote.
I agree with this, although the trailer button needed to be moved because the posters were overlapping it, it needs to be in a better location as it is out of place on some views in showcase.
I also agree that the skin is too cluttered for remote users, the option to turn off many of the items that are not needed would be good
Apart from that and the slowness of the showcase view, its looking great
