[QUOTE="rsbrux, post: 974540, member: 49539"] After trying several of the 1.3.0 compatible skins, I can heartily recommend [URL='https://www.team-mediaportal.com/extensions/widescreen/frames']Frames[/URL] as a functional, pleasing and simple skin and a worthy successor to the old DefaultWide. It has nice smooth and intuitive icons, the Classic view is quite similar to the old DefaultWide, and many of the screens have improved the layout in comparison to DefaultWide. The Weather screen is a paragon of simplicity and effective use of screen real estate. My only criticism is that the Album view in Music (like most skins) has a ridiculously small number of albums visible in the list at one time. To give @[URL='https://forum.team-mediaportal.com/members/catavolt.54906/']catavolt[/URL] credit where credit is due, his[URL='https://www.team-mediaportal.com/extensions/widescreen/purevisionhd-1080'] new PureVision HD 1080[/URL] is much better in this department, and also incorporates a number of features, such as a search for TV programs, which I have long wished for. The "Modern UI" theme helps to reduce the "sensory overload" typical of the newer screens, is intuitive and also makes good use of screen real estate. P.S. Frame has the TV search function as well, it's just not quite as obvious. [/QUOTE]
