FAQ :

1. In order to populate menus with items of your choice, you need to add them to your favourites first.

2. Skin settings are located in Settings->Appearance->settings (under skin name) in XBMC Frodo release

3. To install Quartz "from scratch" in Frodo: Reset all skin settings to default values (you will lose all customizations and skin settings) and than install skin from ZIP as described in previous post.

What is missing can be added and what is broken can be fixed :-)

They are aligned it's just not left alignment, but centered on colons instead. So it's quicker to visually differentiate between labels on the left and their values on the right.

Will test tonight, exciting - it looks massively different again to the quartz beta I tried...

This skin is just so good because it is simple & fast, looks slick.

I'm not sure whether to switch to nightlybuilds to get the recently added above... do you envisage adding an option for a similar feature above the menu, that shows a random selection of films from library ( I like this feature in Aeon, as it can throw up a few suggestions...)? Are nightlies difficult to use/unstable?

IMO, you should not be switching to nighties just for that.

That's what I thought... annoying though.
- Any thoughts on random selection of movies like Aeon?

Looking good fella! I'd like to be able to swap recently added shortcuts for random as well, would be a nice alternative. Overall really good though- just what I was hoping for really.
What's on the roadmap for the future? Any chance of PVR compatibility? Do you want any help with the icon pixels - or is that in hand now...

Thanks for a great fast skin!

I did noticed on issue with the latest release.
It appears that the poster option does not work for TV Shows
When I am in my TV shows area all that shows in the wide banner on bottom of screen then it goes to description. I can't get the banner to be replaced by a poster. The button in settings does not appear to do anything. This is the only bug I have run across so far. Great work on the skin though its very very fast under ATV2.

Thanks. I'll take a look.

EDIT: TV Posters works for me, as long as I select prefer Posters in skin setting/general. Please post some more info about what seams to be the problem for you.
