Looks amazing. I like the three column design where columns one and two hold information and the third right column has background art.

If you're taking any input, it may be a bit easier to read the text if the fade to sold color was more to the right. Perhaps entirely in the right third of the screen.

This naturally occurred here:

Imagine if the background art was further right in this image:

I think it would help the ability to glance at the whole screen and know where to navigate to.

Just my two cents.

Your doing an awesome job.

Thanks for the input, I am still tweaking the position and amount of fade so yes it will change. However it's highly dependent on the fanart you choose, it works better with fanart that has the subject central or slightly to the right. If I move the art to far to the right then a lot of fanart's end up with the subject cut of in weird ways.

Hello.

Since you added seekbar and player controle, the OSD doesn't autoclose after a few seconds.
Is it possible to add that please?

Thanks a lot

I too was hoping you were still going to work on Mimin and I'd agree with other comments regarding revamped. Looking forward to next update!

Hi @roidy enjoying the skin! One small suggestion i had when navigating the settings is that when you are on the settings category list (Interface, Player, Media, etc), it might not be intuitive to press right as you can't see the list of actual settings to the right. 

A quick fix might be to have <onclick> perform the same action as <onright> as I found myself wanting to click here to go into the menu instead of press right.

Longer term, you could possibly do what Arctic Horizon does, which is to basically go straight into the first settings cateogry window (appearancesettings) when Settings is clicked on and then use the onfocus in your list of settings category items (Intefrace, Player, Media) to load whichever settingscategory screen is relevant, with ReplaceAndFocus.

That way, you would be able to show the actual content of the different settings screen in the list to the right when the categories are being browsed, making the right click more intuitive and increasing consistency with the style of the navigation elsewhere in the skin.

Just a thought though. Loving your work on this and MINIM, rock on!!

@"QuizKid" Yep, Settings is one of the few place you have to leave the home screen for Sad But you are right an onclick action as well as the onright would make more sense.

As for the long term that is something I'll look into, thanks.

Ya, that makes sense. Im sure you'll nail a right vibe. 

Was playing with the idea of ratios, figured I would toss it out here in case it helps the design process. 
here is the original image framed - wherein the two columns take up 50%

then i took this toystory bg image (https://fanart.tv/movie/301528/toy-story...=wallpaper) and centered it to the far right corner and added a fade of the corner color from the 50% to 100% markers. It cuts off Buzz, but it still works in a repeatable manner IMO - as the main subjects are usually around the center.

Just thinking out loud. You do you as always.

It would be nice to be able to download subs from the osd display. Or can anyone change the osd to from a working skin?

the idea of keeping the far left row in place while items further to the right are navigated reminded me of the Xbox OneGuide from years ago. 

It never really took off, but has similar vibes with your left menu. Thought that it may provide some inspiration.
