I really love the "now playing" screens, it's the closest I've seen to the Zune Software which I really love:

Screenr - hvakrg: Zune Music Playback

Is it possible to have info and fanart floating around like you see in the video?

I think we will definately work on gettin fanart into the now playing area as soon as we have most of the look complete and functional, it's still in fairly early stages but coming along very nice and very quickly.
I could do with you guys opinions on this new basic home i have been working on with and without weather ;-)

I like the first two, with the images for the weather. The last one without an icon doesn't look if it belongs there.

Yea i thought the same, i think i will make the code for weather a permanent fixture and it will only be without if you don't have world weather installed ;-) thanks for the feedback

Imo it looks very good both with and without, so perhaps a setting where you can disable it? I know that for me as a YrWeaher user I won't get any data there anyways, and the WorldWeather-plugin has no datapoints for my area.

Also, about the movies tab you have on page two I think that the "latest movies" covers and text clashes a bit with the rest aswell, I think it would look better if you only had fanart for the latest movie+ its name in that tile. But this is all in my head so I don't know how it'll look in reality.

Great comments thankyou, i will look into supporting both world weather and YrWeather so whichever plugin is installed it will show the data. I think i know what your saying about the cover art in the tiles and agree it would be better to fill the tiles with each latest movie instead of crushing 3 into 1 tile.

I think we need to get some more people on the team to push this forward faster
