Hi Everyone,
I started fiddling around with XBMC in the fall of 2009. I finally cleaned up my media collection and started using XBMC as my interface sometime in February of 2010. I wish I could shake hands with everyone involved and express my compliments I simply love XBMC and the showmix skin.
One thing I’d like to suggest is an improvement is to the “info” overlay during play back of video of any kind. It’s something I’ve seen in a few of the other skins that has been the only thing I’ve preferred over Showmix’s. Which just in case there is any misunderstanding I’m calling the overlay that is toggled by the “I” key the info screen. It’s display is great in the menus in combination with the screens themselves. However during playback I would argue that it’s not really an info overlay as much as it’s just a progress bar. I feel that the “info” overlay in the “night” skin is great. The fact that it brings in the media’s synopsis and the poster art is really slick and has a more modern feel then the progress bar. Is this something that could be created as an option for a future version of the skin?
Regardless Showmix is an amazing skin and by far the interface I prefer to use to access my media.
Keep up all the good work.
