Harley,
this skin is very, very good. The new cover view is amazing: looks very pretty and it is very fast to work with - I cannot find words for how cool this ist.
Here is my feedback from the first tests. I am running 16:9 at 1366xsomething resolution.
- the highlight for the current selected button is not visible enough; the blue shimmery looks cool, but one has to look twice to find which button is selected. Perhaps you cold add some light to the background of the selected button.
- in cover view, the font size below the covers is a bit too small from my point of view. I am about three meters away from a 32'' screen, I can read it, but it's small.
- the clock symbol in the upper right corner is nice, but irritating since it does not show the current time.
- in cover view: the menu is only reachable when I am at the very start of the list and I'm pressing "left" again. This is ok so far, but what if I'm somewhere in the middle of the list? Then I have to press "left", hold some seconds until I'm at the start again, then the menu shows up. In lists with many items this can need 10 seconds or more.
Can you show the menu when I'm pressing "up" or "down", too?
- in "now playing" the coverart should have some border around it, would make it even nicer.
- the background is very nice, I associate a stage lightened by some spotlights - a very good choice for a media center!
Again, your new cover view is perfect. Beside the unbelievable cool design I really like how fast I can browse through it. |
