2) I think that it will be hard to judge the difference between the grey and blue-ish middle section from a screen shot. It would be a bit more effective to be able to judge them on a TV screen while using the skin.
3) I have noticed one small bug, when you scroll through the TV shows in the recently added section on the main screen, the drop shadow on the image changes on the bottom edge. Instead of following the shape of the box, it goes straight down. I also have to admit that I'm not a fan of using the screen grab as the image for new shows as seems to be the practice with most if not all skins, I'd rather see a poster with the episode details below.
Hey sammy,
1) Don't worry, i don't think i'll be removing the main menu from the sub sections.
2) Maybe i'll release the backgrounds in grey on their own, so people can test. I'll look into.
3)Yeah, me and Hitcher had a chat about that one a while ago. It happens on the movie and music 'recent/random' as well. The only way to combat it is to duplicate that small part of the background as a separate image, gradient it, and have it sat on top of the shadow edge, so the shadow disappears behind. Seemed alot of work for a small thing however i'll have a look later!
Regarding the tvshow 'recent/random' screen grab images, i can change to posters if people would prefer that? I think i would prefer that myself... never really thought the screen grabs looked flash enough!
Thanks
