Hi,

I've been doing some searching on the forums and in the code and I think this is something that isn't possible to implement in skins right now? :( I couldn't make much sense of this part (where it puts the images in the facade-view) in the sourcecode, so I thought I'd ask here...

Would it be possible to make it so that if there are new episodes in a series, there will be some sort of 'NEW'-stamp on top of the banner of that series? That way you could easily see if there are new episodes available :)

(I'm aware you could also apply a filter to only show these series, but it'd be a nice feature I think)

    The banner and filmstrip views indeed lack the information to quickly distill if there are new shows.

    This is why I personally use the Poster/List view, as it shows this information in an easy overview. The new B3W skin was meant to look more like MovingPictures, to create a uniform look, but in doing so lost some benefits (for me) to get an easy overview, so I'm actually using the old B3W skin (should be inside your skin folder).

    Overlaying indicators ontop of the banners/filmstrip views is an existing Google Code issue if memory serves me well, so you can 'star' the issue to stay informed on its progress.

    Thanks for the reply :) What benefits do you mean, with the old B3W skin?
    You sure about the google code issue? I didn't manage to find it, but maybe I just didn't look right:D

    I would also really like this feature. There appears to be a patch submitted to the Google Code Issue tracker, maybe it can be included in the next release?
