Love the mod. Nice work! One thing though. The episode title in the wide list doesn't stand out from the synopsis. It needs to be bold or a larger font size IMHO.

I just renamed all of Rapier1.6 to Rapier2.0 as a test soon after posting the message. As I guessed all the backgrounds came back ok. This will be something for you to think when posting future updates.
rgds,
Nopel Wrote:Dude, if you just install the skin without renaming the folder to include the version number, the settings just keep working. It's you that's breaking them, not scarfa.
Sranshaft Wrote:I'm slowly making my way through your top bar code but I thought it would be a great idea for it to display the TV Show name and the current season you're browsing. This could also work for Music as well showing the artist and the album.
At the moment it might be confusing for some when browsing tv shows to remember which season they are in. Especially when using one of my views or the common views (ie, List, Icon...).
Just an idea. If I can wrap my head around it I may just add that in myself if you don't get a chance to beforehand.
Edit: This is what I have so far... I tried changing the "Videos" bread crumb to read TV Shows but it doesn't seem to take effect. Still working on getting it to work though. I removed the "Library" bread crumb because with it, the breadcrumb bar was too long. It'll still show "Files" when in file mode to help differentiate the two.

PM3.HD.
As for my current usage, right now I only have one request to make:
It would be nice to have all the views available in every category and not just for movies. (I.E. I would like to have the "Wide Icon" view for "Videos")
I think the Youtube plugin would look excellent with that view for browsing videos.
There is a glitch that I have noticed in my navigation but, I'm not sure if its just me or not.
If I navigate over to the scrollbar, it seems like I get stuck there and cannot move anywhere but up or down because it has focus. I try to press left, right to take the scrollbar off focus but, it doesn't work. The only way to regain normal navigation is to go back one level or to home screen then come back.
Also, "Info" (to obtain info about your system) doesn't work when I select it nothing happens.
Other then that, for my usage I love the skin and I hope you continue to update it and keep it fresh.
Thanks a lot.
scarfa Wrote:I already was experimenting doing something like this early on during development. I even had the breadcrumbs clickable at one point. Ultimately I decided against it because it was getting too complicated for its own good and really went against what I was trying to achieve. You run into problems with names that are too long, or not enough space on the top bar, or what node should have it's own breadcrumb and also trying to keep it consistent with other categories.
What I had decided on in the end was the breadcrumb was to show you what window you are in, thats it. The bottom infopane is where any media information should be stored or any details of the current window.
One change I will probably make though is instead of having videos-library, I'm probably gonna make it videos-movies and videos-tv shows respectively.
However I encourage you to mod it if you are keen on the idea. I'm sure there are some people who are interested.

Sranshaft Wrote:The problem I've run into is that is doesn't seem to recognize if you're in Movies or TV Shows. I've tried replacing the Videos section of the breadcrumb with the respective section and it just wouldn't take. Either it would show both as being Movies, or both as TV Shows; using the last breadcrumb bar button coded in the xml file. Maybe it has to do with the SVN build I was using, I've just updated to the latest one and haven't tried it again, but it was definitely a frustrating thing.
I'll release it though in my separate mod though with your blessing of course.
