My videos looks larger than the rest but I presume it because it has the 'squarest' ratio, while my tv is obviously rectangular? Also not sure about the radio task image, not quite radio enough for me! lol ! Love the animations on basic home though and must admit this is a great looking skin!

Hey, this is one good looking skin, Harleys got some real competition on the darkside.

Agree with above comment, but TV still does look way out of proportion (especially when selected) to the other icons in basichome.

Maybe need the samsung 4:3 ratio monitor as icon, instead of Widescreen TV

Good point about the TV, we chooce this tv as our icon, since it is the tv, I run mp on, however as you have pointed out the 16:9 ratio of it doesn't fit in with the 200x200 icon placement... I will have a think if there is another way to draw this icon... maybe the samsung 4:3 monitor, although I would still like to keep the widescreen tv...

Yep, one good looking TV, Just needs enlarging and other icons slightly smaller and repositioned have a look at picture for example.

This skin is very very nice indeed. Many thanks for your effort.

Question: Is there anyway to have "TVSeries" on basic home screen ? That would just complete my HTPC

Hi TranceManNZ, I guess this would be possible, but since we have not yet drawn a tvseries icon.. I won't do it yet...

Thanks for making this skin, it's exactly to my tastes. I will stop using Replicant when you've finished it. Please consider making a 16:10 version of it though, since that is the second most common widescreen format, and the skin is squashed here.
