I think he said that will be only a 16:9 screen with 1280x720 resolution.

He did indeed

Got a version we can try soon?

Imo the filmstrip pages are really ugly.. the cases look crappy.. well they don't really fit in there anyway.
I think something like this would fit better with the rest of the skin.

I attached the psd for the logos I made a while ago..

I'm not sure, spuck... you put too much blue and the page does not blend seamlessly with the rest of the skin, nor with the tvseries page that you did yourself.

I like the film icon in the original, and the scroll buttons. Not sure about the film cases.

TBH I think neither layouts have completely captured the look and feel of this skin, IMO your tvseries page is the best example of it.

Personally I never use the filmstrip view, browsing through hundereds of movies/albums with such a limited view is a pain. I only added it for "eye candy". I like that fluid screenie, perhaps a rework is in order

. I'll have an alpha release ready this week. It will still be a work in progress and needs a lot of screen work still. It will just be for everyone to have a look at.

On a side note, I've updated the screenshots in the first post. About the TV Series screens, those shots are without fan art. I think a seperate xml will have to be made for fan art because it's almost impossible to cover both types of display with one xml.

I do use the Filmstrip view, I just type the first letter of the movie title go get to the right section...
Looks amazing nice job!

Haha no that's nothing I've made it's from an xbmc skin in progress. It's just how I would want it to be.

Hehe I have at most 10-20 movies. I do only save master pieces.

So i usually only use filmstrip.

Good thing with the separate xml!

A few months ago I suggested something similar, having "mod-packs". At that time it was because I had implemented a submenu system for the ReVivant skin.

Maybe it would be useful to ReVive [

] this idea and have a link to some alternate xmls in the first post of the thread with the release.

Some things come to mind that could profit from this:

Various Basic Home Menus
TV Guides with more/less rows for people with ridiculously big/small screens
TV Series with/without Fanart
... you name it...
