[QUOTE="mr viggo, post: 516102, member: 68970"] Here's a few suggestions for the MoPi and Tvseries views: I would be glad to see the backdrops in their full glora and colour. You mentioned earlier that this would make text more difficult to read in some places and I agree. But, I think a smarter solution is to create textures that are slightly transparent instead to display these texts in. I know that lots of skinners have created "frames" for differnt views to accomplish this but I'm not sure how you would like to do it. I was thinking about a flipped gradient.png today to use on top of the screen so that the time and header would be easier to see, but I can't do this myself with my inferior PS skills. However, I managed to make the bg_right a bit tranparent and renamed the new file to bg_right2 and used this in a few places, also moved the filmstrip facade a bit lower. Here's the results: Edit: Two more things, 1, The spinning circle when something is loading in the background is not consistent with different xml:s. The TVseries one is smaller and more to the left than i.e online videos. That one is bigger and in the middle. 2, In Tvseries season filmstrip view, is it possible to just show "Season X" in the lower right corner? Sometimes the series name is a bit long and you have to wait like 5 seconds before the text has scrolled to the number. ie "CSI: crime scene investigation Season 5" It can be hard sometime to tell which season it is by just looking at the poster.
