The progress bars in the PVR windows are inconsistent with the rest of the skin, being (very) short and curved. Compared to eg. the volume meter or seek bars which are long and rectangular, it just looks out of place IMO
An option to disable the little preview window in the PVR channel window would be great, or maybe have it automatically disabled when background video is enabled
Other than that, looks and runs wonderfully!
Edit: Any chance of horizontal sub-menus? Always expecting horizontal drawer submenus from horizontal menus, likewise with vertical
All good suggestions and possibly yes on all fronts. I like the idea of disabling the preview window if show in background is enabled - opens it up for bigger view of the plot etc.
I'm not 100% sure on changing the progress bars - it depends on what I come up with.
I would like to have horizontal menus as an option and I think I have an idea about how to do them -- it depends on whether it works as well as I think it would - it would help with navigation too because you could press up once for submenu and again for the widget.
Thanks!
Played around with it a little more, a couple more suggestions:
The recordings view has a preview window just like the channels view, except in this case it is never used, just displays a static stock image. Could be a good place for the thumbnails, but the tiny thumbnails next to the recording's title would need to be removed.
If you bring up the channel list by hitting "c" while watching live TV, the "currently being watched" channel has a striped texture (in addition to the little progress bars in my previous post). It looks nice, but I don't see that texture anywhere else in the skin-- in line with the rest of the skin, I would just have the text be pink in colour to indicate it is selected.
A kiosk mode would be fantastic
Nitpicking, but I don't know that anybody finds the dB value useful (I'm not an audio guy, so could be totally wrong haha) in volume control. But I think Confluence has it, so it must be there for a reason
