Ah, I thought it was only an issue within Aeon MQ2.
Glad to see TV Tunes

Hitcher Wrote:Also, I'm using the 'Home hide options' from the old Alaska so you can't hide Music, Movies or TV Shows - this is the best compromise for the time being.
TheHazel3yes Wrote:Hm, but what good is the hide option then when it doesn't work anymore? I don't get it.There it's a hide option for those three selections though; they're only available in the other Home styles.

As this is my first post here - thanks for the great skin. I think I have tried all of them but still nothing beats Alaska revisited in cleanliness and style. Here's what I have found for the version 2.2.1:
1. If I turn off plot for Info/Fanart views in skin settings it does turn off for movies, but doesn't turn off for tv shows.
2. When going from Info View to Movie information screen I notice that poster dimensions/aspect ratio changes - i.e. the poster is getting "slimmer" which I think is not good. I have scaled/cropped all my posters as your posterframe.png (538x772 pxls)
3. I understand your reasoning for making actor thumbs small, but in my case I have spent a lot of time looking for hi-res images of actors and processing them (Alaska revisited is the only skin that allowed for hi-res actor images and could diplay them prperly) so if possible could you make an option to show actor thumbs just like in 2.1.2?
I keep testing and will let you know if something comes out, but looks very good so far!

Yes, right, I can go back to normal File view mode, BUT: I have to switch back for EVERY Add-on, EVERY Category of every Add-on and so on... Can't we just adjust one view mode for all Add-on browser windows?
And please give us back the option to remove items from the home screen (Music).
One more thing: For a small TV (26", 1360x768) the new "watched" symbol in episode view is not as good visible as the old one as it filled out some space at the corner...
Hitcher Wrote:1. Fixed the Info List problem for Episodes but the Fanart plot hides just fine for me.
Hitcher Wrote:2. Firstly, there was no need to scale/crop anything as they are stretched to fit most views anyway. Secondly, Info List shows all images as they are.
3. I'll look into it.
meridius Wrote:couple of things in the new version
1 in wall poster view there is no fanart in the background which i think should be added as it looks a littile boring. Also have a look and night skin the wall view on that is top quality would love to see this sort of view added here its very smooth to as yours seems to be abit clunky sorry about what i said but just thought i would put my point a view over
2 the 2nd profile i have you can not hide the music view or tv shows view, you could hide anything on the older version now you can not which i am not to happy about.
why can you not have the same options to hide what you want like you can in the master profile you could on the older skin.
3 you still can not lock the 2nd profile without locking the first or master profile. why do you need to lock the master profile when you just want the 2nd profile to be locked as i dont want the master profile locked. i dont know if this is a skin thing or xbmc
thanks
oh version i am using is 2.2.1
TheHazel3yes Wrote:@Hitcher: Thanks for your fast answer!Yes, in the other Home style the folder/images you pick appear in the background as long as you enable it in the options.
Ok, I get the history now... and of course, it is YOUR skin (mod), you're doing it for free and we are more than happy with your great work. I just wanted to point out what's gone worse for me. Maybe I should switch to another home screen view (the one with the symbols maybe). I always liked Aeon with its big fanart image in the background, I guess that's possible with Alaska too in some view modes?
