[QUOTE="Bleazle, post: 739908, member: 53582"] There go my plans for getting some work done this morning! :D After some quick testing I've got to say that the skin is looking even better than before! (shame about the blue text though lol :D ) The new video now playing overlay looks great (plus lots of other things) :) I've checked the things I pointed out earlier and have deleted them from the following list if they've been fixed or changed. New comments are in blue: 1. Weather screen: - 5 day forecast menu overlays the weather info. [B]2. BasicHome:[/B] - Latest Pics: Can't arrow over to the pics to select them - is it possible to add this? [COLOR="RoyalBlue"]([B]Note:[/B] somehow my "latest pics" info has corrupted, the top image is blank (just the overlay showing) but the next 2 pics are OK -this happened while still testing Backdrop V1. Any ideas on how to fix this?)[/COLOR] - Latest TV recordings: Don't show until the right arrow is clicked and the "sub menu" disappears[COLOR="RoyalBlue"], this is different to how Music and Pics acts, is it meant to be.
