[QUOTE="MacMini, post: 173973, member: 20587"] Oh, you're right, of course. I guess I was so smitten by the new layout, my brain went high and didn't register...:-) But what about the big "Shares" arrow on the left? I am not sure if this is a core feature of MP, or there by choice of the skin authors. Plugins like my TV Series and My Films don't have it, but in every skin, there it is Pictures, as big as a photo thumbnail. It seems that, since MP is a front end, most users view it on a TV screen, and most use some sort of a remote, presumably one with a "Back" button. I can actually see merit in having a "Back" button in the menu, but the arrow is a bit awkward and inconsistent across different modules. I can also see why some would like to have the option to navigate across Shares (less so now with Watched folders,) but I wish there was an option to hide the arrow, and just enjoy a clean and consistent view of the pictures, or albums, or whatever media we are viewing. Anyway, this may not be possible. I might also be overly sensitive, since I've finally changed to MP after 4 years with MCE (first XP and then Vista.) But this skin is still one of very clean, well thought-out design. It is also my favorite and the one I use (although, I copied the MePo animated icons to it - the short, fat, green creature cheers me up - and it looks good and lives well in Foofaraw:-).
