It seems 3DMP gets all the attention this week, but hopefully your excellent skin keeps improving. <img src="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7" class="smilie smilie--sprite smilie--sprite1" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)" loading="lazy" data-shortname=":)" /> I've chosen to use it for my new HTPC, and now I've got some newbie questions and comments. Some of these may not be specific to just your skin. And remember this is all from the perspective of a new user and meant as constructive criticism. I love your skin. <img src="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7" class="smilie smilie--sprite smilie--sprite2" alt=";)" title="Wink    ;)" loading="lazy" data-shortname=";)" />Home screen- The distance between the icons and the explanatory text on top makes new users have to look around to verify what they are selecting.- The current way of hilighting the selected item is the same color as the nonselected items, and the ball in the middle hides a large part of the icon. I.e. your covering up the item the user is sure to look at. Perhaps removing the ball and fading the circle around the nonselected items would be enough?- Some of the icons are hard to associate with their target. For instance, you've got that cool retro TV on the TV screen, yet you have a closeup of a plain, black remote on the home screen. Use that TV as much as possible! The radio icon is so close up that it's hard to tell what it is.- I saw requests for color theme support earlier in this thread. Here's a vote for that! Maybe the Chameleon mod can be applied to your skin as well? <a href="https://forum.team-mediaportal.com/viewtopic.php?t=16269" target="_blank">https://forum.team-mediaportal.com/viewtopic.php?t=16269</a>- The background on the weather screen seems to be optimized for the 4 day forecast. The dark boxes look out of place if you view just a single day.- When listening to radio, the channel logo is displayed on top of a CD case, as if it was a normal music track. Just displaying the logo would make more sense.- The on-screen keyboard still has the BlueTwo look.- Selecting 'Play CD' on the music screen has the same effect as selecting 'Shares'. Selecting 'Play CD' on the 'Shares' screen *does* start playing the CD. Btw, something like 'Library' seems more natural a term than 'Shares' here.- The List view for music, videos etc does not display a text for each item when the focus is on the command list on the left. Also, for consistency, shouldn't the 'hilight box' around the selected list item be rounded at one end to match the selection style when using the Big Icon List?- When using the Big Icons view, the selected folder icon is clipped at the top.- The small, simple icons used on the TV screen (i.e. the one with the retro TV) are not easily understood just by looking on them. The name of the selected command just above the icons or...something... <img src="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7" class="smilie smilie--sprite smilie--sprite2" alt=";)" title="Wink    ;)" loading="lazy" data-shortname=";)" /> might help. - This should probably be asked in another forum (which one?) but why doesn't the TV preview show on the home screen unless timeshift is enabled? Currently timeshifting slows down channel changes way too much to be effective, but not using it means no preview elsewhere.Hopefully you have time to comment.Keep up the good work!</blockquote>
