v17 [ALPHA] Estuary - Kodis new default skin
The easily accessible "update library" button was one of the first things the other users of my system missed with the new estuary. I liked it too, because although I have it mapped to a remote button, that button is unfortunately difficult to distinguish among the other small buttons around it.

I think they're a result of a decision to make them just as wide as movie posters, episode thumbs, add-on icons, etc., as well as the change to showing a text label beneath each icon instead of the central button description used on v1.

I dont like greenish blue background. =(
Blue background in previous version looks more professional and clean.

Not a fan of this progress indicator below the poster =\

If you go to Skin Settings > Artwork and change the background pattern to "Type 7", I think it is the pattern that was the previous v2 default.

Unfortunately, the strong vignette of that background image combined with the same effect in the skin itself results in a very, very dim appearance overall. I really miss the vibrant red of estuary v1. It was colorful but still easy enough on the eyes for nighttime viewing.

The new frame-less progress indicator shown beneath the poster is a small change that I like. It might be better if it's only shown when the item is in focus, though. And the half-filled circle icon seems redundant when the movie is already in a line-up titled "In progress movies."

They look great in previous build on 42' TV

Everything looks exactly the same size to me in the latest nightly. The only change I spot is a bit less padding beneath the Categories label, so everything below it shifted up a few pixels.
