Love the Fanart View but I like Media Info. Probably no way to get media info to show up on the fanart view but maybe a fanart 2 view maybe can be made? Shouldn't be too hard I think. You have the Movie Poster which is pretty much taller than the info already shown. Just lift what is already shown up to the height of the movie poster and have an auto scrolling media info under that info. I love fanart for TV Shows and that is probably what I would want it to be like since TV Shows fanart view actually shows Media Info.
Another easy one I think would be a toggle to show weather near the time on the upper right or maybe right smack in the middle of the top with or without icon. If no icon maybe something like fair rain snow or something similar. Could also be shown in the more info overlay while playing a movie but that is probably a little overkill. I just noticed there is a lot of empty space is all on that overlay.
This one would probably be a bit harder. Info overlays such as recently added movies, weather, music info and such do not show because the Now Playing overlay is shown instead. If it could be done, the Now Playing overlay can be moved to the left (I have a very short home menu disabled a lot so I am not sure if that would work out for people with long ones) and that would free up the info overlay again.
Also another feature I would like to see is maybe a Toggle in the settings menu that if you are watching a Video that it be shown instead of backgrounds/fanarts throughout the whole skin would be nice as well or you can have an individual toggle for each menu such as menu pictures and anything else would probably be better since more customization.
Somewhat in the same field as the last feature. There is a tiny window that shows the movie on the lower left when playing a video on some views. What about moving that to the top left for those specific views which makes it impossible to show on the bottom left like slide view and fanart view. Of course if the above feature is implemented then there should be no window at all.
Probably not able to do at all but also a toggle to disable the side menu's since it gives it a sleeker feel for me atleast when a side menu doesn't appear if I push left too much. Also some settings can be changed there that I do not want other people using the HTPC to be changing around.
I love toggles if you haven't noticed gives everyone more ways to customize the skin to their feel. If any of these are possible please tell me how. If you think any of these are just plain stupid or impossible to implement please explain why. Just suggestions. Probably only stuff I want and no one else which than I am just being greedy =). But I really not expecting any of these to be implemented but it would make me extremely happy if they were.
