I like those genre icons, especially since they show more then one genre it helps when deciding what to watch without having to dig through genre after genre to find something. Though there are a few little
ones might be nicet to toss in there like a batman or superman for superhero, not that that really is
a genre. LOL .. getting off subject here, im famous for..
I will see what I can do about cutting down the size of the packages a bit and zoom in on the ones
that have been modified and see if we can't squeeze some more things in that 100 meg range.
I know with time we might have other things in there like studio images etc.
If I use textures.xbt as the basis for all other skins then one will have to always have it installed
and the others will be able to be slimmed down from there.
EDIT: I was wrong they are around 200 megs.. so that isn't all that light. I went and did some
trimming on the TransPack and the 9 cut back about 30 megs. so if everything keeps at this
pace everything should be down to around 100.. but everyone is going to have to have the
default textures.xbt installed or will have to have them extracted in the folder because without
those extra images the ones I trimmed down will be missing parts. If one wants to them can
remove everything out of the media folder including the subdirectories and just use the xbt
files. I have the source files on a git for all the themes also so you don't have to keep them
on your git if you don't want them there.
EDIT AGAIN:: 121.4 megs for 22 themes total with all the trimming removed and textures.xbt
being set as the default theme. The decision might be which ones should go.. if wanting a
100 meg mark, that would be removing about 2.

Being a broadband user I'm happy with anything under the 100meg mark. - Confluence.Lite.Mod = 100megs ?? maybe we should start calling it by original name - Yet Another Confluence Mod
@Wilson.joe, not a bad idea to only include altered images in the theme.xbt, that'll save a bit of room. as for the fondness of them all - I know that feeling. That's why the multiple genre icons keep popping up in different views, when I first managed to do them like that and no other skins showed more than one at a time I was well chauffed with myself.
