I like uNi's graphics.
Of the two Listing ones I prefer (2) and it is consistent with the others.
Also on the logo I thought the word Addon needed centering below the other text, it looks a bit skewed off to the right at present.
Also worth asking, what licensing uNi?

I really didn't put much effort into the main icon worth noting and have no plans to have a logo battle either
nickr The addon text is right align on purpose, but can be easily tweaked, I have provided the sources with the icons, so if by some reason rob wants to see how its done or adjust something he can.
Licence... heck have at it gplv2 didnt think that was the most important thing on a couple of gfx and some nearly off the shelf icon.

Agree with nickr and wgstarks. uNiversal's icon #2 looks neat and the eye can easily identify it.
I like the current add-on icon too. If this needs to be changed in order to have icons and flags visually consistent, I would recommend removing the word 'add-on' since I can't find a good reason for it to be included in the design, besides breaking the design itself. Using a different background colour (the actual film roll is kind of lost in it) could be a good thing also since at the moment it looks a bit dull. The red background is a bit off the colours of Confluence and since this add-on's icon will show up most of the time on the information overlay during playback, it would be desirable to look more consistent with confluence in that aspect.
I believe it would be sensible to allow for a few days so people have a chance to see these posts and cooperate if they wanted. Later in the week I will post some screen shots showing the different flags proposed by users up to that time, so we all can see how they would actually look like and raise our voice on which one its fit for purpose; I will also show proposed new icons during the information overlay, so you can see what I mean.
Best,

Would you be so kind in having a look at post #83 on Gade's Rapier skin? Seems there is a chance for adding plot/overview to the the play overlay: http://forum.xbmc.org/showthread.php?tid...pid1782370
Thanks!

I like the camera icons, but I don't really understand the background image. A Stanley Kubrick mailbox, or a chair? I don't know, doesn't make graphical sense to me.

I'm using the Aeon MQ5 skin in wall view, I have the VideoExtras add-on configured with the recommended settings (each movie in its own folder with an "extras" subfolder), and have copied the videoextras_overlay.png in path C:\Users\<username>\AppData\Roaming\XBMC\addons\skin.aeonmq5\media
Then I'm rescanning my library and although I have the expected functionality of the add-on (the extras are accessible from within the movie information menu), I don't see the "red flag" extras icon on the movie thumbnail in any view. Can you please tell me what I'm missing here guys? Do I have to use Confluence for this to work?
Hi cutter,
You'll nedd to ensure "Allow caching of extras on startup" is on in the settings and then restart XBMC.
