1. Are you planning on implementing logo, clearart and maybe CDart support for the video views?
2. Are you planning on implementing logos as well for the music section (which is different from video logos since the logos for music artists are not stored in the music database as I learned).
3. Are you planning on supporting banners for TV-shows?

Honestly, nothing is planned for those at the moment. However, for 1&3, as I said, there is a way to code with few lines your own list type. At the moment I removed this for alpha but it will return soon. So undoubtly, more types will appear from KOver enthousiasts or maybe me

4. Are you planning on providing additional information as running time, codecs, reslution (720p, 1080p etc.) maybe with text or icons in the info fields?

In the Bloc2 I don't think so. The fact is the Bloc2 is the same for "All" sections and developped in a 636x356px box which size and texts resize with your parameters. So I had to choose informations to show or not in this bloc to fit this tiny size. But all adavanced informations are available in context menu>informations> and by scrolling up/down to show options, plot, cast and advanced informations. Advanced informations are selectable to see more by scrolling left

1. If I have a video bloc on top of the fanart bloc the fanart is not shown even though there is no video running.

Will try to do something for that.

2. The Sidebar seems to cover the blocs and thereby also some of the information displayed within these blocs. Is there a way I can have the sidebar staying outside of the blocs (like in the main menu the sidebar is covering the navigational blocs, which does not look very nicely especially with respect to the menu pictures; but when you enter a menu entry the blocs suddenly flip on top of the sidebar; that is the way I want to have the sidebar all the time)?

For the sidebar in views, if you have a 3x3 layout, set the sidebar visibility to "AUTOHIDE". This way, the sidebar is semi transparent and hide immediately. This is the only way I found to match all the possible configs without giving weird results in some configurations. What I can add is a "HIDDEN" option to just not show it. For Home, it's a navigation choice. In fact, if the panel doesn't slide, trust me, most of the time you don't know if you are in the main menu or widget/submenu. Tried it and this made my wife crazy. You can test it by setting Home the sidebar "top" and blocs background "bottom" ... really not convenient.

3. Is there a way to change the menu pictures of certain menu entries? Your skin seems to have adopted my menu and submenu entries from the previous skin I used.

I've seen that Script.Skinshortcuts allow a custom entry. Will check with Bob if I can use this to choose the menu item "category" thumb. I think it's doable.

4. I have been playing around with the widgets for the main menu, but I have not been able to get them cycling automatically. I can cycle through their entries manually but as a widget it would make more sense (and give the skin a more professional look) if the entries of the widgets would cycle automatically while idle.

Yes, I didn't made them scrolling because it made it hard to navigate. That was a long time before I know the idletime condition. Will add this. When Idle=3s

5. I was trying to have a certain pictures folder assigned to the background of the pictures entry in my main menu. But though I selected "multiple pictures" and set the path to the desired pictures folder (smb network path) the background remains empty. It is not starting to display the pictures that are residing in the folder. Any idea?

Honeslty, I haven't tested this one. But since it is handled by script.skinshortcuts, I have to ask Bob if I have to handle something special for multi image or if it's just something broken in the script.

Thanks for the kind words
