I updated to the latest dev version a couple of days ago, so I thought is was the right time to give my input (my last update was just this morning, to both the skin and the templates branch). Firstly, I have to say that as a whole, everything works great! The widgets are fast and smooth, much quicker to start, and from what I can see there are no glaring bugs with the way they function. These are the problems I've come across.
1. If you use a mouse, the widget settings dialog disappears as soon as you move the cursor, at the moment you have to use the keyboard.
2. When you are setting up the widget limit, you get a list with the numbers, and then a number pad. This creates problems because the numpad retains some numbers regardless of what you select from the list. For instance, if you select "fifty", and then none, because of the numpad it will remain at fifty, and so on. IMO, one of these should be removed.
3. In the Extended Mixed widget layout, some panels ignore the settings that were given to them. I haven't researched it enough to know what precisely happens at which times, but the most common occurrence in my case has been when the posters layout is converted to square posters. I presume that this is by design, to ensure the correct amount of space is occupied, but the consequence is that 9 times out of 10 the widget ends up looking differently than it was set up during config. As I said, I presume it's a feature rather than a bug, but it would be nice if it were explained in some future gallery/update, since novice users will get confused. As an alternative (though a complex one), some layout options could become unavailable depending on what you select as a first widget. So if the first is a fanart layout, the skin would know that there isn't enough room for another one, and would disable them for the other three widget choices, etc...
4. This is more of a question than bug. In which cases should the widget limit work? For me the lists cap out at 25 regardless of what number I put in during config.
That's about all of the issues I've encountered. Keep up the amazing work!
PS. How do I disable that infernal debug display?
