The way I have the skin setup is all black with white transparent icons throughout. Works well with the movie artwork and rotating extrathumbs.
I noticed a few people talking about this duration problem, works in some parts of the skin and not in others, do we really need to have the duration time appear twice on the same screen? I personally think we don't need it next to the title on the 'media info views', removing it would also give a little bit more room for those long movie titles.
It's available on the info screen anyway.
Maybe it's just me being fussy, I'm the type of person that prefers the movie plot to be on info screen only. I don't like scrolling txt/half visible plots on a view screen.
How difficult would it be to include a option to use 'plot outline' for movies and full plot in the information screen?
Similar to what Aeon Nox does.
As far as the colour theme - Since I still don't know what exactly broke the dialogues, I'm not sure I'll ever have a fix. The closest I've gotten to is to determine that it seems any theme other than the default and Light one will break the dialogues. As a consolation, you can still use the dark interface on the default theme for a similar, albeit less black effect.
The durations are universally available in the bottom right corner along with the finish time, so I guess folks just like their durations.
Media Info 1/2/3 are meant to be informative and to give as much info as possible, and List/Plain List and a few others are meant to be more streamlined. The info screen is a bit awkward, especially for mouse users, so I get why some of them would like to keep out of it as much as possible. That's why I like to give folks choices, so that it's possible for them to get to where they want to be with the skin.
As far as the plot outlines and settings, if I've done the previous set-up correctly, it should be very little trouble. The bigger issue for me is that I've seen very little difference in my set-up when using that Aeon Nox setting. So when I make it, I'll be counting on you to tell me if it works?

At the moment there is no such option. The only available options are the ones you can see listed in the selector. I'll try add it in for the next batch of updates..
