a short update on what's going on at the development side of things.
i'm currently working on some new designs for the movie and music info dialogues.
well, there not exactly dialogues anymore, since i've changed them to a fullscreen layout with fanart as a background image.
so most likely this will be gone in the next release:
and be replaced by something like this:
i hope everyone agrees this looks way better than the old design.
there's a few other things i would like to change in the next version and i'd like to hear your opinion on these:
- first, since there's now support for native media flagging in the 'stable' xbmc for xbox version, i'd like to drop support for the old skin based media flagging (the files currently in the deprecated folder).
- next, i want to remove the option to disable animations in the skin. there will probably be more and more animations in the skin and having to code a non-animated transition for everything too is quite...uhhh...irritating.
- i'd also like to remove the option to hide the tv show title in wide-banner view.
- finally, i wonder if anyone ever uses the option to hide 'media titles in background scanner'?
again, these are only proposals, so let me know what you think.
speaking of proposals, if you haven't seen it, francyboy came up with this idea and judging by the replies so far, i guess this should be added to the next release too:
