Just checked out the latest update. Couple of comments:
- I like the changes on movie Info screen. Having the slideout there gives it it more consistency. Putting the grey button-border around the play & trailer buttons may look good there.
One bug there: When changing to Plot view, then browsing to some actor with thumb, then bringing up the slideout menu again hides the actor thumb.
- The new context menu I find a little odd. When changing in Settings/Video/File Lists/Default action = Choose... Then clicking a video for instance, then selecting "more" on the 1st page, results in the 2nd page not showing all items and scrolling them. Also the text "clicking ok will....." seems overly instructional because it is beyond obvious.
PS: while developing the original version I played around a lot with the context menu trying to replicate the Boxee 0.9 large info window that pops up when clicking an item. It is somewhat possible to replicate this, by using item.thumb, title etc within the context menu. the reason I gave up on it, was the formatting of all the menu-buttons, title, info, thumb etc. Maybe a larger, no vertical context menu is worth looking at again?
- I noticed the labels within poster/thumb views are left aligned. Is that by design? Centered seems the more logical choice to me.
- For those who want the rss video feed back. I have copied it back in replacing the random items (not lastest). I can post a mod/download later when the skin is a bit more complete.
