@Mudislander:
PROPOSAL:
Yes: I am asking for a
Comparison of Skin Features: Confluence MODs, but with the following modifications compared to
http://wiki.xbmc.org/index.php?title=Com...n_features:---
(1) All skins modifying Confluence listed. I submit that this should include such skins which, though technically not a modification of Confluence but distinct skins, in point of fact are a Confluence Mod but in name. E.g.,
Neon.
(2) For each skin a screenshot of: (a) the home page, (b) the relevant sections of the settings page (leave out mere cosmetics like choice of backdrop).
(3) A Modifications Comparison Table based on the format in
http://wiki.xbmc.org/index.php?title=Com...n_features, with the following two additions/improvements:
(4) For each and every modification, a link to the code that does the trick.
(5) For each and every modification whose effect is an alteration of the UI (home screen, nodes, etc), a screenshot.
(6) For each and every modification, a way for users to assign preferences (vote). I submit that voting should be on a non-linear scale --- say 1 (nice), 2 (very good), 4 (must!) --- to better reflect cardinal preferences, and include a "Don't care" box to prevent ordinal preferences from being swamped by cardinal preferences.
(7) Speed metrics for the skin as a whole and, if available, per-modification attribution of the differences.
PROPOSAL - Lite:
Sounds too complex? An alternative, lighter format would be a four-column table per skin, with format as follows:
- Column A: This is where my skin differs from stock Confluence or Confluence MOD (whichever is the case). Provide screenshot! Verbal explanation only if deemed necessary.
- Column B: This is the code which does the trick.
- Column C: Speed difference compared to stock Cofluence or Confluence MOD (whichever is the case)
- Column D: User Poll.
