Don't ask me why but i'm playing around with fanart view, and here is the results
This is beautiful,
Its much cleaner looking and very beautiful... It is also much more symmetrical and the highlighted movie feels more centred now too, which also is very visually appealing! I love this new look.
Can I have it now please
Also, I'm not sure how easy it is to do, but what about adding imdb ratings instead of the star ratings?
I feel a small imdb logo followed by the rating of the movie would be even more visually appealing than the current big stars (I'm not a fan of the 5* rating system in general)
The 9* logo you have in the inception screenshot is very nice, could you adapt a 10* rating system and implement it that way or edit the 5 star (*****) system to appear as 5* instead of **** or have just have imdbs rating instead...
Also, how about an option for slim ratings instead of the large ones... For example instead of the large:
PG-13 Parents Strongly Cautioned
Some content may be inappropriate for children under 13
To just
|PG-13|
This too would tidy things up and keep it sleek looking?
Just ideas, you'll know better than me how it'll look/feel etc as your eye for detail is obviously very very good judging by these new shots
A few other things I'd like to ask about are...
Is there any way to get the weather plugin to not update every time I go back to the home screen and only have it update on startup and/or when I highlight it?
The reason I ask is that I am experiencing some slow down every time I go back to the home screen as the weather update refreshes it's content? I'd rather it updated only when highlighted or at 1 hr intervals etc? Again, not sure if this can be done on a skin level or if I need to ask the devs of the. Plugin to possibly add that as an option...
And finally, could the text box in fanart view (that holds movie description) be larger as I find it difficult to read, and if it held 5 or 6 lines of text rather than 4 I think it might flow better.? EDIT... JUST NOTICED YOU'VE ALREADY DONE THIS IN THE NEW SCREEN SHOTS ABOVE... FANTASTIC.
I literally can't wait for future updates as this is a phenomenal work of art, I literally can't believe how much you have changed and influenced my viewing habits and turned my tiny little rubbish revo into something jaw dropping..
Thank again for all your hard work and I hope you don't ever think I am complaining about anything, as that is not the case, I just love throwing ideas out there in the hope that you will spin your magic and bring those ideas to life
Amazing work as usual butch, can't wait for the next update.
