Just gave Amber a try for the first time...  I'll start by saying thank you for taking the time to develop the skin! It's off to a great start from what I've seen so far. I do have a few quick suggestions/requests to offer;

1) Make the top bar text color and submenus text color independent from the main text color. For those who typically like darker color for non-highlighted text in the main menu, the darker color becomes harder to read in the top (info) bar and submenus.

2) Allow setting the top bar text to be left/center/right justified instead of just right-justified only.

3) When I go to edit a colors hex value in the color changer menu, the on-screen keyboard appears with a pop-up that says I have to download the keyboard auto-completion addon. However, you can just cancel the pop-up and use the on-screen keyboard normally. I suggest getting right of the pop-up altogether since it's inaccurate and quickly becomes annoying for users who don't use auto-completion. If users install auto-completion then let it just work. If not, don't pester them about it.

That's all for now.

@teriyaki, thank you for your feedback! I think your requests are valuable and will improve the skin.

In terms of request #2, which text are you referring to specifically in the top bar? I ask since there are items there where changing the alignment doesn't make sense to me. Please let me know.

The other requests I will add to my To-do, and should be able to complete them in a day or two.

Regards,

I should've been more specific about #2, sorry about that. On the main menu, the date and time are right-justified (upper-right) of the top bar. I just meant it would be nice to allow users to choose to have that text displayed centered or left-justified as well (upper-left) of the top bar. I haven't gone through all the options yet so I apologize if the suggestion doesn't consider other text/information that might be displayed in the main menu's top bar.

Another thing I'd like to mention, and this really applies to any static items like date/time, is that allowing their placement to be adjusted (manually or automatically) can help protect users from burn-in or at least put their minds at ease knowing they can move static stuff around a little bit from time to time. Newer tv's are a lot better about it but a lot of people don't fall into that category.

@teriyaki, thanks for the clarification. I am not planning on changing that at the moment, since it would mean also changing the position of all of the other items that are displayed in the top bar, such as menu item label, now playing information and fanart background title. I agree with you in terms of static items, and will keep this in mind for a future redesign of the top bar.

Regards,

Bart
