I thought i would post this as i am quite pleased with myself, so feel free to flame away lol.
I have done this as i always thought that the other mods even though great designs tried to cram in so much info that the screen just looked cluttered and moved your eye away from the fanart which ive always thought was the main selling point of xbmc.
i have made the image slider bar smaller and put some info next to it (director, year, runtime and cast), i have removed genre, imdb user rating and main title. now before u start saying how can he remove the title, my main reason was the poster which shows you the movie title so why have it again in text making even more clutter.
the poster, flags and tagline now fade out after a few seconds revealing the fanart and when you press down the trailer will play as usual but when it finsishes it is hidden behind the fanart and only appears when you want it to, again not interffering with the fanart.
if there is some interest i might upload it, sorry for the imageshack images but i couldnt figure out how to put it directly into the thread.
