Hey Migue, thanks for the feeback. Great you are fixing the thumbnails for playlist. Can you fix a few other things as well? LOL! There are other places where MP does not support thumbnails, current file tags, common tags like center, etc. Sorry, skinner frustration!
1. How are you switching to windowed mode? I'm not sure why this is not working, I may have to ask Joz the tech guru! I always resize my screenshots, so it would be nice to have this work so I don't have to! It used to crash MP on me so I stopped using it.
2. Long titles - yeah, it's hard to find a height that works in all font sizes. I sized them for 18pt selfishly cuz that's what I use. But I think I can set the height in references so it will auto adjust for the font size. So thanks a lot for the idea! Will take some work, so be patient. I want to put as much as possible in references (defaults), but I can't do that until all the screens are redesigned since some of the 2.0 screens use the defaults in references and wont' work if I change them.
3. I removed the icons from list controls because they are too small to see on smaller screens. I don't like to waste space with duplicate data, and I wanted to make the graphics as visible as possible (your anime thumbs look real nice!) hence filesize and other data from the lists is shown larger on the screen. File size should be at the top under the title/rating stars, and I will check why it is not! Actually are the rating stars even relevant on that screen? If you are not using IMDB then they will never display anything.
The reason it doesn't look like it is scrolling is because we have set it that way so your highlighted item is always in the center of the screen until you get to the top or bottom of the list. This is a design feature I guess you are visually oriented since the thumbs mean more to you than the text which changes as you scroll! LOL, I'm just teasing you! It is a big change and a lot of new features will take some getting used to. Try it out for a while and see. I'll think about it and see if I can come up with something. If you think of some other way that might work really well, let me know.
4. The text below icons only appears in the Video Shares Thumbnails view. It is a unique screen, so I can alter it however you like. But how? If you don't think darker background, then what? Make the unfocussed icons less transparent? If you want to try that, go to common.facade.video (not video.title) and in the section on thumbnails change the <unfocusedAlpha> tag from 120 to something higher. 200 is totally opaque I think. Try that, it will also make the text of unfocussed items brighter. I can always change the text colour to something brighter. Hmmm, I usually use golden yellow for played items! And I can change the unplayed item text to white if that will help (it is off white at present). Just let me know what you think works and I can put that in SVN.
