this is on the repo version, perhaps it's been fixed in git, if so please ignore.
i'd also like to just give a little feedback on the change in general. i personally liked how it was previously. it was more aesthetically pleasing when the panel was the anchor of the home screen and everything else slid from beneath that. i think what i find unappealing is that the consistency is gone. your sub-categories slide up, revealing themselves. but now when you press down to open widgets the panel slides up to reveal them. i look at it like the slate sections are pages hidden beneath the panel. pull up on the top page and you can see what's written on the bottom of the page. pull down on the bottom page and you see the information written on the top of the page. the new animation just feels unnatural to me. my two cents.
also, i'm not sure if this is skin related, but it seems my ongoing episodes widget is no longer updating after i finish watching an episode. i haven't rolled back to a previous version to see if it is definitely the skin but i figured i'd throw it out there to see if there was a change made to that somehow. i'm still on frodo if that makes a difference.
edit: just rolled back to 0.6.2 and the widget is updating properly so something got borked along the way.
I'm torn between the two. I definitely prefer the old animation - the original idea is exactly what you point out - the grey panel would slide up/down to reveal the other items underneath. The reasoning for the new style animation was better usage of space and so that it doesn't obscure the clock. I'm thinking about changing it back - I think I might actually be able to make it optional fairly easily, trying a few things out. I will fix the resume dialog pop-up.
There weren't any changes to the widgets core so I'm not sure what's going on there. Maybe it just needed a restart or there was some issue with the actual addon that happened to be fixed. Or some error in the actual update. As far as I can tell its working properly for me.
in the course of my testing the widget would consistently not update on 0.6.5. that is until i went to produce a debug log and it worked just fine. i'll keep an eye on future updates to see if it creeps back up for me again.
an option would be great if it's not too much trouble. in the mean time i think i'll stick to 0.6.2 as i don't think i'm missing anything from the newer version. for me at least the clock being hidden when i was in the widget section wasn't really a big deal.
one other bug i noticed today though. if you go to rollback an addon the dialog box doesn't have a background making it difficult to read what you're doing. i'm on my way out now but can get a screenshot if this is unclear.
cheers as always.
