    Hey guys, was playing around with the default Wide Banners layout today as I was unhappy with how it looked. I came up with alternative that uses both the wide banners and posters which is now possible in TVSeries 2.3.

    What do you prefer, the new layout or old?

    New Style "Wide Banner List + Selected Poster"

    or

    Old Style "Wide Banner 4x3 Grid"

    I'm used to the old way so I think I like that.

    However your new way is similar to Moving Pictures so it would give the skin as a whole a more streamlined look.

    The new wide banner looks nice, however the old one is neatly arranged if you have a lot of tv-series

    I really like the current look, so I'd go for the second one. But maybe you can add them all to the installer and let the user choose during the installation progress, or is that too much work (to complete both of them).

    I've got about 160 series and the old layout makes it much easier and quicker to find the series I'm after. The new layout is definitely nicer looking, but for usability the old layout wins for me.

    Totally agree with that.
    The new one is very nice for users with only a few series, the old one for more than 10 series.

    hmm which picture is the old one?

    I think the first one looks better as I have them in list mode anyway, so adding the banners is better.
