And if you read my previous posts.....I requested this for those of us who do use these icons......not for someone else to pick apart or to suggest that MORE work should be put into scripting to achive a tilted icon. These icons are already tilted, they look great on my 42" LCD flat panel TV in the veiws that I like using, and what I'm asking would only be a slight modificaton of an already existing veiw.
FourTwentySmilz, I hardly think that migueld was picking apart your suggestion, he was just expressing his view, which, lets face is what forums are all about, right.
However, I have to agree with him, I have just loaded some of the icons and well, for me at least they look pretty bad on my 1080p screen compared to higher res art. But if you are happy with them then that is great.
On the second point, and I am by no means a developer so I have no idea how difficult it would be to have the view generated dynamically but it would give a much more appealing result. Also it would leave you the option to use other views (as migueld suggests) which utilise much larger thumbs, views which would look terrible with the 128x128 icons. I think that if any work has to go in to this then it should be done properly and in a way that gives benefits to all users of MediaStream.
I hope you find an easy solution to your request but as migueld suggests, if there is enough buyin then perhaps the devs will look into a more pleasent solution for all users of MediaStream.
Oh, and I have not forgotten that you may have to download new art for all your movies but just think of the benfits you would have going forward if you ever wanted to try a different view.
