Just added mixed widget (selectable as the widget style) to the skinshortcuts branch - testing is, as always appreciated (Aside from a couple of fixups I know I need to do, that was the last job I had for the branch - Mr. V and Mr. Silvo, anything you gents are still working on...?)

Known issues with the mixed widget:-
- Widget choices (art, background, sort, etc) apply to all three widgets
- Widget position will be wrong if poster/square art selected (edit:- now fixed)
- New navigation may take a little getting used to...

And huge kudos to Mr. V - your amazing work on the widget stylings meant that so much of the work for this was already done for me, I was able to put this together in under an hour. I was expecting to put it together in about a week! Your work is just incredible!

Bob, thank you so much for adding this! A few comments after a bit of testing:

1. I do not know if this is a skin issue or skin.shortcuts issue, but the Recommended Movies widgets displays the same content as the skin playlist Movies In Progress.

2. In the center widget, when you move between items, the background changes accordingly. This does not happen when you move between items in the left or right widgets; could you please add that?

3. The old mixed widgets, when you pressed enter on an item in the left or right widgets, would show you the eight items it had, with information about each, and from that screen you could then press enter to play the item. I like that functionality quite a bit, could you please implement it like that?

4. Would it be possible to show what widget is selected for the left and for the right? Right now the title is whatever was selected for the center widget only. I understand that the previous implementation did not have that either.

5. The old implementation provided an indication in each part of the mixed widget (left, center, right) of how many items there were in the widget (I know it was limited to eight), is that something that could be added?

6. I got used to the navigation quite quickly, great job on that!

Thanks again for all your work on this!
