[QUOTE="BennTech, post: 374732, member: 67104"] [b]New layout blows for TVSeries[/b] I love Monochrome--it's one of the reasons I use MP. I love its simplicity and dark, muted color. However, I've got to agree with these past few posts about the new TVSeries layout. It blows. Why waste a third of the screen for an obscure strip of a larger fanart pic? That space would be better served with larger episode list, description, season pic, episode pic, and/or info panel. And about widebanner, since the different TVSeries XMLs and preview pics of previous Monochrome versions are now gone, the installation instructions should at least document how to change it the layout--the posts about editing TVSeries.SkinSettings.xml are easily lost in these 120+ pages of the Monochrome thread. And I'm not thrilled about the new Video layout. Used to have a nice 6x2 layout, which I think was bigicons? Now bigicons is 5x1, which is basically the same as the choppy filmstrip. Both of those show too few icons when scrolling through 700+ movies. Next step down a minuscule 10x2, which is too wide and requires a constant side-to-side scanning. Where can I download previous versions? Haven't downloaded since 2.2 and I'd like to play with the in between versions 2.4 or 2.3 see if I could use those instead or piecemeal them with 2.5. [/QUOTE]
