Hi,

there is a limitation to five entries for the submenu. I`ll add some more in the next release.

Do you think it will be possible to have 25 items in the sub-menu list? I am so close to have my music library shown in my favored manner...

No, sorry. I think we can have 10 with the current layout.

Will the upcoming version of Avalon support the awesome new features of Trakt?

Just have to say, Avalon is an awseome skin. Combines high useability with great looks. Thank you guys, eagerly awayting further updates.

I have some small suggestions / questions:

1. In the 2nd preview (update) you showed that the On/Off toggle had a green color when activated. I really liked that (see my feedback then). Now the toggles are more bright when on. I preferred the green background, that was more visible on a larger screen
2. In Music Menu the Scrobble button is different from all the others. Why? It looks a bit out of place.
3. When browsing music I would like to have a a second text line. If browsing by Album it should show (in smaller font) the album artist beneath the Album name. Is that possible? Otherwise:
4. In the list views add some info to the cover preview (2nd pane, the one in the middle). It sould show Album, Album Artis, Genre, Year I would say

And some more (just testing around):

1. Pictures: Please keep the aspect ratio of the pictures wherever possible. Landscape looks good, but portrait is not looking good, neither as Cover, Icon nor as "fan art". Coverflow will probably be the same. I guess it will be a problem clipping the rounded edges in different orientations?

A small issue: Pause when playing music shows a pause sign in middle of the screen (well, to the left and below the middle, but nowhere usefull).

Translation issue: Weather: The German weekdays do not fit into the columns, resulting in "Donnersta" instead of "Donnerstag". Reducing the font size a little would help.

When in TV (or Radia) without a connected TV Server (my Laptop sometimes is away) MP shows TV Service Configuration, which has not been skinned yet.

Settings: Display Configuration, first Option (ehm, GUI position?) The rectangles are to small (my resolution is 1600 x 900) they show 2/3 of the screen size

Settings: Skip settings shows the current skip steps through the possible settings

InfoService Plugin: Menu shows in the middle of the screen

The aspect ratio of the OnlineVideos Language Icons is wrong. I would now if the earth was oval

Again me: I installed myLyrics, now I have the Lyrics option in Plugins and in the Music menu. The Lyrics are not shown in the Now Playing screen (not finished, I know Lyrics not finalized yet) but also the Scrobbler buttons are gone from the menu... Why? Or is this a Lyrics issue?

And another thing: Changing the city in the Weather plugin does not change the city text.

Is it possible when using a submenu item in the basic home that when you press back on your remote (esc) the sub menu item will still be highlighted? Also (in case nonone has reported it yet), the Basic Home plugin doesn't correctly show the category chosen for MP TV-Series for all items in the list. Yet when I test the menu later the correct category is chosen.

I hope I am stepping on toes here.
I did a rough htpcInfo if any one wants it until the official release. There are no images included as they are installed with htpcinfo in the default skin and can be copied over to Avalon.
The uploaded files fonts are blue not grey to match the released skin.

I don't think a screenshot will help. I'll try to explain better:

When I open up the Basic Home plugin and select MP TV-Series in the most-left column, then change the name and category to for example: "Latest" with most recently added category and click Add (submenu) the item is added, yet when I highlight it in the submenu, only the changed name "Latest" is shown, the category field is empty. It would be better if this would show the selected category.

Thanks
