Yea i was about to report back on a few little things i have found, this was one of them
Also, the origonal "Clean Home Now Playing" option is also missing even when the new "extended now playing" is disabled?
A few comestic things i noticed too, were,
The new Extended now playing bar seems to be a different level of transparency/colour to the main cirrus menu bars, could this be set to match the other bars purly for cosmetic reasons? Most of the menu bars are a darker transparent black (weather, date, time, horizontal menu,medi update screen etc...) and the new now playing seems to be much lighter and sticks out a little from the rest of the skin.
When streaming some music the progress bar doesn't work (i assume this is due to some trakcs having no end time) is there any work around for this?
When the next 5 tracks is enabled and one of the tracks has a long file name and is requireed to scroll, is it possible for the number (1,2,3,4,5) to stay exactly where it is and only have the text of the track scroll raththan the entire track titles and number?
And finally (for now)
The extended now playing window sits directly on top of the rss feed and about 10 pixels down from the horizontal menu bar, is it at all possible to center the extended now playing plugin so that it would sit 5 pixels above the rss ticker and 5 pixels below the horizontal menu to help it look and feel more comfortable symetrical? "i know its not exatly 10 pixels but i knoe you know what im trying to say :-))
Thats all ive been able to test so far, as i have not yest finihsed my fresh install of my other htpc so ill keep you guys posted with any bugs etc that i come across.
Amazing work though, from what i have seen so far, this update is beyond incredible.
I'm so grateful that you guys do what you do and ill be sure to report back with all/any bugs for you to help keep this skin as truly amazing as it is.
Thanks again for another wonderful release guys x
Also, i hope you don't think i am complaining or anything, as thats most defiently not the case!
I love this skin and i can't sing its praises enough, just reporting back with any all bugs/info/feedback i have to help you guys out for the next updates etc.
Thanks again for everything...
Patrick,
Thanks for the feedback - constructive feedback is always appreciated so no worries there!
I think Butcha can handle most of these changes:
Transparency: I used the same black background as the main horizontal menu. The progress bar, I made up () - so Butcha, please feel free to change the colours to match the skin.
Streaming: Don't think so. The progress is based off Player.Progress so unless the stream reports its length and position I don't think it'll get picked up.
Next 5 tracks: , I thought about this too - yes it should be possible, I'm happy to do this - can send you a new file when it's done (if you don't want to wait for new update)
Extended main menu position: Guilty. Totally forgot about RSS as I never use it. Butcha, you can just tweak the <posy> in the Home.xml file (or I can!)
Glad you like it though.
