Superb skin! absolutely superb!
Another sign for a 4:3 version 
This skin is looking very professional. It has my vote to become one of the defaults. MP needs a new clean look.

Hi All,
thanks for all the positive feedback... At the moment we are still working on the layout for this skin, as well as developing our icon set. Once this is done I will look at the 4:3 and the 16:10 versions that I know lots of people want..
I have not revisited the basic home page layout yet... as their is still lots more important work todo all over the skin.. How ever it is still on my todo list, and I hopefully will have some time soon to fit the icons to a proportional grid and square off the tv icon... As for rotating menus... I have thought about this (being a front row admirer). But this is pretty low on my job list at the moment..
Regards Rich

Hi All,
These are the resolutions I propose to use for Foofaraw43 and Foofaraw1610.....
SXGA 1280x1024 4:3 Extended Graphics Array
WSXGA+ 1680x1050 16:10 Wide Super Extended Graphics Array plus...
Are there currently any 16:10 skins available for download? as there is no section for them in the skin download section?
The 16:10 version would be pretty much idendical in layout to the 16:9 version... where as the 4:3 version would require a slightly different layout... and might suit rotating menu's...
regards
Rich

Hi Rich,
Loving the new updates to the latest Foofaraw! Especially the 6 rows of Recorded TV now
Here's what it looks like now. LOVIN' it!
I tried using the My TV Series plugin for the first time and when I launched after scanning in my TV shows I get a blank screen. In order for it to work, I ended up downloading the 0.9 version from the main downloads section and replacing the TVSeries.xml file. It wasn't just this skin, I had to do the same thing for BlueTwo wide as well in order for it to work. I've attached the TVSeries.xml that is working now.
I also noticed in the TV Guide section there is some overlapping text:
See where the time is for the current show selected on the bottom below the description? The category of the show overlaps with the time the show airs.
I also noticed on the main home screen when Play DVD is selected there is no icon for it. It looks like BlueTwo wide uses an icon called "hover_play dvd.png". I know you're busy creating the icon set still but I just wanted to point this out.
Is there any chance you could change the order of the selections in My TV to something like this:
Recorded TV
TVGuide
Search
...
Basically I'd like to have the Search selection up higher cuz I'm lazy to scroll down
Thanks for this great skin! It's officially my default now!
