Hi Curtis, thanks for your help and explainations!
You've saved me a lot of time searching, thank you!
I'm unfortunately running a mac without parallels desktop, so no windows environnement to run the compressing tool.
I'll try to find another way to do so...
By the way, if it's ok for you/Marcos, and if you've got time for this, having your texture package will be a great temporary fix!
Cheers

Quick question...
Love the new banner view in TV Shows. Have switched to that; previously from using posters...
Went through and updated my images for banners; looks great.
However, when I view TV Show Information from the Context menu... it looks to be pulling from poster.jpg; and shows a screwed up image (dimensions). I noticed in the side menu, there is an option for alternative banner; and that looks to read from banner.jpg?
So.. question..
Should I leave poster.jpg as a regular poster? And use banner.jpg images?
But, then I run into issues with SickBeard and other apps that seem to set poster.jpg as a banner.
Open to ideas... I rarely use the show TV Show information option... just something I noticed and I'm being a perfectionist...
Thanks!

In Showcase, fixed list set, cover flow on, doesn't seem to be a fixed list; wrapping.
Without cover flow, fixed list works.
Any thoughts?

Skin sure is great. Thank you very much, awesome work!
Wanted to report some bugs/ suggestions that I also encountered:
1. The trailer button at the top overlaps the movie plot. I know it's at the top now because someone requested that option, but I think it's much better at the bottom. Also more intuitive when it's at the bottom, that pressing up shows the trailer. Maybe make it optional to place at bottom or top?
Turning the trailer button off in the options also doesn't seem to work.
2. I think the skin is a bit to cluttered now for people who use a remote. The music control menu is redundant when using a remote. Can this be turned off?
3. Same goes for the little help menu in the middle. It's not really necessary, most people know what up and down does. Make this optional as well?
4. When accessing the recently added widget, pressing "right" accesses the style menu. I think all style changes should be left at the skin settings menu. Adding it at the widget itself makes navigating a bit confusing. Rather have it that pressing right returns to the main menu bar, just like pressing left.
So all in all the skin really is great (love the banner view for TV Shows!), but I think some things should be made optional to keep a clean look and make navigating easier, especially for people who use this on their televison sets with a remote.
