@selfcontained, I am the maintainer for Amber. I added the view type Simple List on October 2020. I do not know if Amber is the first skin to have this view type, and other skins might call one of their view types Simple List and not be like the one in Amber.

I was curious because I had used Amber in the past and didn't know if I had just missed that view, or if it was added after I began using different skins. Evidently I stopped using it too soon! Simple List has been a game-changer for me along with the large font as the easiest way to select TV Shows from a large library. I use Tall List for Movies as I like to see the duration and info on the side (I use Tall List for individual episodes once I select the TV Show from the Simple List selection of Shows.)Bart was kind enough to add this view last year at my request. I was thrilled with the results! I'm so happy others are liking it, too.
Thank you for the fantastic skin!

Please let me know what you are looking for. Thanks.
As for Titan MOD's Slim List view, I will think about it.

(2021-04-05, 16:03)selfcontained Wrote: Thanks for the suggestion of "Big List" Bart. It is a better view for me once inside a TV Show's list of episodes as the text size is a bit larger. I have a 32" diag. screen and sit too far away (can't currently change either I'm afraid.)Actually, upon further checking - it appears as though the duration listing is just a bit more legible when listed in the center column using the "Tall List" view versus the "Big List" view. I already have default font set to "Large"; so I'm just trying to get the largest text size possible in description, titles, and duration.
