Did you implement that fix in the includesobjects.xml to speed up the loading of lists as we discussed in PM, or should I insert it again.
Yup, no need to replace anything, already integrated.

But so many stuff was missing i was used to in other skins, especially info viewtypes and music support.
You've managed to add all of that in a matter of a few days, thx man.
Heh, glad you like it, buddy. Stay tuned, there's more to come...

Also the black glass theme was better before, now it breaks certain settings to be displayed on screen:

The themes are all broken they don't look even close to the originals anymore, and blackglass and light look very weird. They don't display content when changing the home tiles for example:
The background isn't too dark, is it? It's still clearly visible. The point of the gradient is to constitute a difference between say, the widgets browsing and the main menu view. The gradient retracts if you are focused on the widgets, making the backgrounds clearer. The gradient is also there to ensure readability for very light elements - for example, if you have a white-ish background, the clock elements will be practically invisible. If I remove it, someone will come along later on, saying that it has issues on light backgrounds. xD If it's any consolation, I could
lighten the gradient up a bit?
The problem with having too many colour options is that you can never predict how a user might configure them, and breakdowns can happen. As far as the colour themes are concerned, I haven't touched them since I introduced them. I've been aware of the dialogue problem for a while now, but I can't seem to find the reason behind it. The original Eminence has no such dialogues, but still, these are simply colour presets and shouldn't impact the functionality of dialogues. On the other hand the dialogues are all handled by Skin Helper, who knows, maybe there are compatibility issues. I've been contemplating removing the SH dialogues and returning to ordinary toggles, or even removing these extra themes, if they truly are more trouble than they are worth. @Steindenaer: From your posts, it seems like the dialogues worked for you on Black Glass, but then broke at some point? If so, can you remember which version was the last one to work? It could be that an add-on update broke something in the compatibility, or that one of my updates did so.
The skin is now a lot different than the original, if by nothing else, then by the sheer number of settings. Most of them are visual, so all these elements contribute to the different feel of the colour schemes. When I introduced the colour schemes, I said that users will have to combine the settings with the themes in order for things to work in the best possible way. That's so precisely because of the unpredictability of the combos. Sadly, I can't even predict most of the possibilities, and even if I could, coding them all in would be a nightmare. For example - if you are using a light background colour and opacity and have unchecked the new setting "Dim the settings screen" - then you will have a lighter feel on the dark themes when browsing the Settings. Use the Light theme without this setting, and you will have text bleedouts, and nothing will be very readable. But that's why the setting is there for.
