Hello butcha,
I know you have very few time left for CE2 nowadays, but I've got an idea.
My favourite view has always been the Big poster view. its only default being that it leaves few space for fanart, specially when it brings the plot.
The new showcase view is really classy, though not very readable for my old eyes (disturbing rotation, posters too small, and big poster centered) but I like its base and construction.
So I had in mind to merge the 2 views, taking the showcase view xml as a basis and adapt Big poster view in it.
But I am so dumb in coding, I managed only to get the rotation effect to zero... only to notice that the straight posters had then not the same size. Really bad result!
When N.O.W.A.L.L tries to code =
I made a quick mockup of what would be my ideal view (maybe with option for DVD/BR cases it just makes the movies more appetizing in my opinion, but I know you dislike them).
So basically all the down part of showcase view would remain the same, and in the upper part, philosophy would be the same but the selected movie would be aligned to left instead of centered and zoomed a bit more, other movies being on the right, simply straight and a bit bigger.
Would such a view be possible/donable not so hardly? It's not a request I know how much you are busy... just take it as my personal fantasy!
