@blistex Hello and welcome! The first issue is more than likely the window transition animation. The skin uses some fade animations, and I remember that the light colour scheme animations could sort of flash white under certain conditions. The dark version might fade into gray between windows, which might explain what you've mentioned. Given enough time, I think the animation would've gotten to black, but this way you're pretty much stuck with gray.
Anyway, you should start your search in Home.xml, and see exactly which animations are included in the transitions. Then go to Includes_Animation.xml. Entries like Animation_FadeOut or any other "fade" animation entries that crop up in the Home.xml are what's causing the gray transition. There are two simple solutions. The easiest way to avoid it is to replace the animation includes in Home.xml with another entry from the animations file, and just see how it looks. The other way would be to copy over some animation from a different skin into the appropriate entries in the Includes_Animation.xml. That will replace the effect skin-wide.
Regarding the number of items, I'm afraid that there's little in the way of any practical instruction I can give. Each view type is different and has plenty of quirks, there is no universal way of making everything to fit more content. If you have a particular view type in mind, however, I might be able to shed some light on what modifications you need to make to it in order to fit more stuff in.
@Tobango You need to go to MusicVisualisation.xml, line 103. You need to change "FanartFade" text to a colour code of your choice.
@Herr der Klinge Thank you for the kind words! To date, I've not heard from the gentleman that offered the German translation. If you have a complete translation ready, send me a PM and I'll include it in the next update.
@hisham.ahai This sounds like an issue with writing the settings.xml file. Make sure that it's writable and that the entries are properly recorded.
@MM10 If I remember correctly, what you need is a smart playlist sorted by "Random". Could be wrong, though, I seem to remember someone in this thread outlining some changes in playlist controls introduced in Leia.
@arielf SkywalkerPD is correct. If you're unable to make this edit yourself, I'm preparing an update that will go live in a couple of days that fixes this problem.
