The black dot (it can be a dash depending on the font) is there in the dialog from the ExtendedInfo addon. I could skin that dialog, but it's a big undertaking that I would rather not take right now.I appreciate the explanation, but it is not required. I completely understand what you mean. I actually like it the way it is right now, and I really, really look forward to whatever you do next with this great skin.
In terms of the navigation with the actors, what I have found by looking at multiple skins (Estuary, Aeon MQ 8, Aura, Arctic Zephyr 2, Embuary, others) is that they either have one key other than pressing enter (clicking) on the actor image to bring up ExtendedInfo (this is what Estuary does, and what I am doing right now), or they do a lot of code to alter completely the functionality of the cast list and show you a dialog allowing you to choose to search the local library or show Extended Info. This is because you cannot modify the behavior of onclick for the default cast list in DialogVideoInfo.
I like the approach of showing a dialog, but it's been a little hard for me to follow the code on other skins that can get me there. I will try some more today, but if it continues to prove difficult (for my skill level), I will leave it as it is now.
Just wanted you to be aware of the rationale for the design choices I made.

Now you just press Enter (click) on an actor image, and if you have enabled ExtendedInfo in the skin settings, you get a dialog allowing you to choose to search the local library or show extended info. The same thing happens when you press Enter (click) on the Director name.
Please download from Git, test, and let me know what you think. Thanks!
