Something I really appreciate, is the optimisation to be low on resources. It's great now.
Some missing stuffs I miss a lot :
- BluRay/DVD cases. You say it doesn't fit the design anymore. It's really subjective. I don't agree. Plus if it's an option, I don't why you would ditch it.
- The new "unwatched" flag is really really really ugly. It's far too big. And really, a star ? What does it mean ? Nothing !!! It's not visual at all. Sounds like "Favorite", "VIP", something in a list.... Everything but not "unwatched". Please, bring back the old little blue banner in diagonal for watched content. It was perfect. What happened to the new banner ?
The views you dropped :
- Episode : I can't believe my eyes. You dropped the "episode" view for TV shows. Even IN THE NAME of this view it was meant to be the perfect view for episodes in TV shows.
- Banner Plex : Just one of the most beautiful view for TV shows. You have the wonderful fanart for 2/3 of the screen then 1/3 for the nice banners. Just the perfect scale.
How can you drop these incredible views ?
Why some views like these, exist ? :
- Landscape for TV shows exists ? (Have 2x the same picture once in backgroung and the same smaller in the select list on the bottom... it's useless and ugly.)
- TriPanel and Posters: Never understood why these ugly asymetrical designed things existed...
- Logo : Not even working @ stock...
Bug seen : When I select only unwatched movies, there are still the stars on every picture....
EDIT: Lol, I can't find, is the star flag for new content or for unwatched content ? I can't even say ! What a proof it's really not visual...
The stars mean unwatched. You can disable those in the advanced skin settings.
The blue flag was not really friendly for non-english users, same for the new flag. And while it was nice to have a visual indicator for recently added items, it had a ridiculous amount of code behind it. So that was one of the things that had to go in order to have a resource friendly skin.
I only added views that i use and/or like (except bannerwall), so I guess we both liked different things in previous versions.
As I said in the op, I'm not going to add anything I dont really want, but the source is there on github. Make a fork on git and make the changes you want.
