Left it's the original view. On the right it's how i think it would look great.
I used the poster view to give you the example but theres a shelf view when you can see the blu ray/dvd cases. i think it would even look greater.
Very nice, It looks like something that can be done but it will not be a quick fix so to say...leave it with me though as I do like the look of it.

In the last image can see that the season poster isn't defective itself, it just gets cutt off in the info list.
Hopefully it's something that can be fixed, also seems like in the tv panel it still has the white around the unwatched things etc unlike in movies.
Thanks
Thanks for the bug reports and especially screenshots :-) ..they should not take too long to fix. Quite a few bugs have been reported recently so I will give priority to them before new views etc

congratualitions. It seems that finally Xperience1080++ is getting the popularity it deserves - and with more users trying out the skin some remaining "bugs" are surfacing :-)
As to the suggested and already implemented changes:
I like the support of the new TVTunes-Addon with the option to play movie themes, though there still seems to be now reliable way of automatically "scraping" for those themes. I will have a hard time to add those tunes manually to all my movies :-)
I also like the option of having rounded tiles. That seemed to fresh up the look a bit. However, as I tried them out I found them not actually being in line with the rest of the skin design. All other tiles (like the skin widgets and the menu windows) remain angled and I think that you will not be able to change all this. So I am gonna stay with the angled tiles as well to have a harmonical and constistent look of the skin.
As to adjusting the looks of some view types: As long as you do not alter the look of the coverwall (which I use for Movies and Music-Albums - it offers fast scrolling through my huge libraries) I am mostly fine with all changes for I do not use those other view types. Howver, I hope implementing more and more options does not negatively affect the overall performance of the skin.
If it comes to ideas for future development I already made some suggestions myself in this post: http://forum.xbmc.org/showthread.php?tid...pid1482451
I once again would like to bring up the suggestion of having like a small and streamlined version oth the skin designed for low-cpu and low-gpu PCs that are becoming more and more popular these days (like the Raspberry PI and the growing variety of Android based media-systems). It should decrease the usage of power consuming effects (like the animated skin widgets) and offer fast view types (e.g. option to not show fanarts in certain views etc.). Maybe it could be easily done by only "kicking out" certain things and offering it as a separate download.
Keep up the good work. I am very excited about what comes next :-)
Brgds,
FantasticN
Hi FantasticN, many thanks again for your compliments. With regards the new TvTunes addon, what I did was to just launch it (as you would for example Artwork Downloader) and then it scanned my whole library (TV and Movies) automatically getting exact matches and offering alternatives when it could not..this was quite a long process but a one-off thankfully. I just love the way it plays the famous Hakuna Matata lyrics when I look at the Info for the Lion King Movie :-)
Agree with what your saying about the rounded tiles, I was not sure if changing everything to rounded was worth it...my favourite part about them is actually having no border when navigating...there's probably room for improvement there but gives another option at least.
The view types is something I need to be careful with as everyone has there own particular favourite..but I will not alter the coverwall :-) Mostly I have found the performance increased quite a bit when I removed the media files...and with the most recent change for the rounded tiles..even though I added more image files the actual textures file included in the media file reduced in size by about 20mb..I can only think this was down to better compression when using the texture pack maker. So it should be even quicker than before.
Seems there are more suggestions coming for improvements/future developments so lets see where we go next! Personally, I am pretty excited about the new PrismCube
http://www.prismcube.com/ though initial feedback says the machine is quite underpowered once it develops it would be an ideal solution for me as I still am not happy with the PVR implementation currently in XBMC specifically with the VU backed.
