As always, great Skin![]()
As you know me, I made some customizations to more Minimalism. But since the Skin went live, it updated all my changes, and it wont make sence to change the files always when there was an update.
Maybe when you find some time you could add some Options:
- Able to turn off/on the Header from all Windows (incl. OSD), see below in the Screenshot.
- Able to center the Tiles, bc it looks kinda strange when you dont have many and the right side is kinda empty.
- Is it possible to change the Background, in the colour xml for the Tiles, see below in the Screenshot.

2. Can I make the backgroundpanel behind the tiles of the homescreen transparency?

Queue two or more videos (context menu > queue). Then open the sidebar menu and scroll down to choose "playlist" to go to the now playling list. In the sidebar menu for the playlist, there are options for repeat and shuffle.

Header option I will do, but its going to take a little time to do properly so it might be a little while till I get around to it

I'm one of those fools that hates seeing the time of the video if I pause or seek (in Ace it's like this: http://i.imgur.com/yyXARLd.png).I'll add it to the Helix todo list.

For the meantime you will have to switch off the next aired setting for starting guide based on today rather than monday.
Loving this skin way more than I thought. Fast, sleep, beautiful.
- BUG: When watching info via the Next Aired plugin (TV Guide), the first posters overlaps posters from other TV shows from the next days.
- FEATURE: A way to decrease the font sizes would be nice. When watching a movie or TV show and press info, the remaining time info gets partially cut off. Having the option of making the fonts smaller could solve this.

First of all I want to congratulate you, jurialmunkey, for this awesome skin. Simple, fast but powerfull and very customizable. Thank you for share your work and for your detailed feedback with all of us.
I have a few of questions about some issues with fanarts and backgrounds:
1. Widget in Music Hub with the top 100 songs it shows the background image (wood.jpg in my case). It would be possible show fanart with the artist instead? Like Movies Hub makes it.
- Image 1: Movies Hub (with fanart)
- Image 2: Music Hub (with background)
2. I´ve added a new tile with my favorites [ActivateWindow(Favourites)]. When I click it shows my favorites, but no fanart or background. How I can get the background image (wood.jpg in my case) or fanart of addon/program/fav if exists?
- Image 3: Favourites (without fanart or background)
3. Weather window [ActivateWindow(Weather)] shows the info and the icons well, but not the background image. When I try set it in settings, I can´t select any image. If I select a directory with a image instead, the weather icon (large) disappears and no background neither.
- Image 4: Weather (without background)
- Image 5: Weather (without background and icon)

Strange that the posters have too narrow aspect. I use the 1:1.5 ratio specified by themoviedb.org
In 1080i/Defaults.xml there are some sizing constants defined, bigposterw is the poster width and bigposterwborder is the border around it (needs to be 20 px bigger).
Depending on how much you change those values, its going to change alignment etc of things. So you will need to edit other files. This is the skinning manual: http://wiki.xbmc.org/?title=XBMC_Skinning_Manual

I just checked the dimensions of a poster I downloaded from themoviedb (1000x1500) against one of mine (700x1000) and while there is a bit cut off at the edges if you crop it, there isn't nearly as much as I see when looking at the posters in xbmc, so I decided that your skin isn't to blame. Then I thought that since I'm currently using xbmc on a regular computer monitor which has an aspect ration of 16:10, that might be the problem, so I changed the resolution within xbmc from my native resolution to a 16:9 one, and now it is even less cut off than it was when I checked it outside xbmc. Some end of title text is still cut off, but not whole letters anymore, and I can live with this, so i'ts all good now, thanks for your helpNow I just need to figure out if I can force xbmc to use a custom resolution instead of stretching a smaller 16:9 image to fill my screen
