    Does it look like my screenshot?

    Yep...exactly the same. :)

    Odd that 2BitSculptor has more entries showing...I have both MovingPictures and TVSeries installed???!!!


    Thanks for the "heads up"...never looked at Area51...thought it was a link to some dodgy porn site!

    *Oppps.... Didn't test this. I will fix it if i can.

    Great stuff...I have some time on my hands so I'll have a look tomorrow as well.

    Do you have the most recent media handler running? (just looking for reasons ... it's in the visibility conditions)

    Just checked...and no, I had an older version...just upgraded and now the settings menu shows the layout problem you described......

    ...strange that MPEI config didn't show that an update was available?[DOUBLEPOST=1358716783][/DOUBLEPOST]Changing the subject slightly...as there seem to be so many of us online tonight :)...I haven't had any feedback on improvements/suggestions for WorldWeather so I'm assuming that everybody is happy and changes from Beta to ver 1.0 will be minor, ie...

    fix focus issue on first page
    allow for (longer) language translations in text boxes
    final approval before release

    The vertical spacing between top row and bottom row of daily conditions is a bit crowded. it is hard to pick out the Tuesday and Wednesday labels at a glance. if the icons were just a little smaller and the text separated a little more, away from the middle, it would be more legible. The sat. map box is square(ish) but my map is rectangular, looks really squashed. could you let it keep aspect ratio? .. maybe if the second column of Current conditions was moved a little to the left as well. It would help to separate the distinct areas of information.

    My install of Avallonis 1.4 from the MPEI has no issues with the Avalonis Editor in MP Config. (MP 1.3 Beta). I don't know how you added the MoPo Kids Movies selection, there are no category selections in the Avallonis Editor.
    That's the exact thing that I am reporting. In the old Avallonis, I could create a submenu item based on Genre. In the new Avallonis, the Moving Pictures genre is empty (so nothing pickable). The screenshot that I showed was from the X-Factor2 homepage editor.

    Not sure where we are at with this now - is there a .zip for the worldweather and the settings files?

    Does all tend to get a bit muddled in the ether doesn't it! :)

    I think @sweborn has a pretty good grip on things...all I've done is install his v 1.4.0.0 mpe1 that already includes his settings xml's and my WorldWeather Beta xml's and apart from a few minor issues (to be expected) things look pretty good.

    Don't know about others...but IMO, I think Avallonis has earned the right to stand alone as a completely separate skin and should be added to the skins directory.

    @2BitSculptor...I think I understand...thanks for feedback.
