Put all the settings stuff in well the settings menu off the Home page. Keep it clean and simple so anybody who walks up can figure it out without any instruction.
Video Screen should be
Title / Genre
Tv Screen should be
Title / Genre
Let's see...
In the incarnation I'm testing against now, I've changed the default actions for the Movies and TVshow buttons so that clicking them takes you straight to the library for that section. Same for Music. I also wanted mine to be as girlfriend-proof as possible.
The video section also behaves in the way you specified. I've still got some refining to do, but I'll hopefully have a new version up on FTP tonight to see if it's more like what you mean.
The settings stuff...I've fixed the problem I was having with the movies section and can now move forward (brain fart), so maybe I'll take a run at making a more official settings area. I'm sure you guys know how ugly it is right now.
One of the big things I want to add is an area for mundo customization. I was thinking of adding something like four custom buttons per menu, which you guys can then use to add w/e plugins wherever you want them, with the only plugs required being launcher and hulu.
As far as having hulu jump to a specific section...I haven't tried it, but I don't think it's there yet. That would be something to ask rwParris for, along with having the plugin report content. Actually, it would probably be the same thing.
Quote:Now my question is. Is this skin going to be setup to cater to File view as well as Library or is it going to be an eye candy skin that relies heavily on Fan Art and thumbs? If its going to be eye candy I'd remove the Library drop down and just make the word Video or Tv the one that opens up the Library be default. Of course you could leave the plugin ones below or go from there.
No, file view is something I actually use a lot. Sometimes I'm just too lazy to add a movie to lib right away. And for music, I actually hated the library because of how messy my tags made it come out. Building this skin has actually forced me to clean up my files.
So yes...eye candy. And yes, caters to files section. And...yes?
