And I don't mean that in a good way.
Spent about an hour on this skin, and am very very annoyed.
I am shocked at how much time would have been spent on this skin, yet the absolute most basic functionality was overlooked: ACCURATE CONTROL VIA A MOUSE
My HTPC only uses a Logitech MX Revolution mouse (customized buttons).
In the Confluence, I am about to just move my mouse to the left side of the screen to get the menu bar to pop-up.
Unfortunately, the way this skin is structured, the left menu bar only seems to popup like 5% of the time (because the scroll bar is on the left side perhaps instead of right where it is in 99% of apps).
To top that off, trying to customize the main menu was a major pain in the ass, I would have to go left/right and enter and up/down, but I couldn't MOVE my mouse, as even just hovering my mouse on another option would kick me out of the option I was in.
The skin has HORRIBLE input/output control.
Finally, you would think that with a skin that is as detailed as this, I would atleast have the ability to change the views within playlists.
IE: If I have 3 Movie Playlists, Movies1, #2, and #3. I want POSTER VIEW in #1, LIST view in #2, and some other view in #3. Unfortunately I can't even do that, and every time I change a view in either 1, 2, 3, the view is saved on all 3.
Sad to say that as much as I like the skin, if I can't even use my mouse to navigate around it effeciently and have to resort to a keyboard, that really really sucks.
I appreciate the work thats been put into this, but perhaps spend the next bit of time on the coding so the skin actually loads properly when the mouse hovers around it.
For instance, look at this, I'm trying to go to the MOVIES selection by moving my mouse over it and it doesn't even light up, yet when I left click MOVIES, it goes to freaking SETTINGS because its SETTINGS thats centralized.
Navigating within this skin is horrendous, surely I can't be the only one out there using a mouse
Anyways, thats my feedback:
I'll attempt to use the skin again in a few months (or earlier if you msg me and say the navigation problem is fixed), but its pretty unusable to me in its current state.
Switching back to confluence... its not as fancy, but atleast it gets me where I need it to get me...
LOL this post cracks me up. What an enormous sense of entitlement.
You're in desperate need of learning how to talk politely to people, nfusion2011.
