I've just tested and played with neon.. And I was wondering, is there anyway you could add the ability to play movies, trailers, etc in a small window rather than full screen?
The ability to do this means I can still browse my media and make system changes or read the news etc while still playing a stream or a movie trailer or tv series etc..
I'd love to see this feature added and also the ability to use a weather widget too.
Not sure what the plans are, but these are great little features and I would love to see them in cirrus

What do you mean with weather widget ? There is one if you enable the weather com plus dharma addon !
PatrickBateman Wrote:Hi,
Yea, they basically have a small window that plays your media rather than in fullscreen. I think it's available in the default skin too "play trailer in window rather than full screen" but neon allows all media to be put in a small window, at any time...
So on the home screen i can have a small clean borderless window playing media, the rss feeds, weather widgets and make system changes or add / up data addons... It's very nice and uses very little system resources.
They also have an incredible TV Guide it literally searches your media and shows you when the next air date is, time, day, etc etc all on a tv guide on your home page.. Very very nice and useful as it means I can skim past and see that the office is on Thursday at 9 and not have to go to "the office" and check next air date... An very very nice feature.
Te small media window is a huge plus though, my machine is an atom / ion setup and when I have the movies play in the fullscreen window and navigate throughout my menu's it slows to a crawl... But with this mini window it's as fast as ever and does not interfere For others watching the tv etc...
Features I'd Love to see in cirrus extended...
Small window for viewing media (same as neon)
TV GUIDE on home screen (same as neon)
Weather widget on home screen (same as neon)
I'll see if I can find the widget for weather plus... What the weather in neon does, is... It doesn't require you to press the icon, it just pops into the screen when you pass it with the 4 day forecast!
Very nice features but the skins overall looks are not as sleek and polished and mature as yours. Your skin is by far the sleekest skin around, fast, elegant, light, smooth, etc but with these features added, I think my socks may actually blow themselves right off my feet !!!

I'm talking about subemnu for the custom items in home menu: custom playlist and custom favorite.
I think i have to add submenu in xml. But how...
