ORIGINAL THREAD (OLD): About the X-Factor Skin (2 Viewers)

[Spragleknas]

God damn this looks promising! I wasn't that convinced about the basic-home-screen, but I think you have proven me wrong - even before you have released anything.

Please consider creating the TV-guide in a "flat manner", as it is a) more consistent to the skin (IMO), b) improves readability (IMO again) and c) gives the skin more "identity", and not being a MediaStream/StreamdMP mod/rebuild/xxx - which it sure deserves.

for your great work so far. Now - release it!

Hi,

Another new layout on most things. I think this is the final design concept Added Moving Picture Detail image. Hope you like it and don't want the old look back.. the old black "leather" background looked good om my laptop but when I got home and installed and watched on my 40" LCD in 1920x1080 it didn't look that hot.

Spragleknas;
Thank you for your feedback . What do you mean with a "flat manner" tvguide? Do you mean "not so hot looking"? Please describe because I'm not satisfied with the current guide and any input on this is appreciated.

emphatic;
Buttons for playlist, now playing and lyrics now added to the "music player".

cheers

Flat: No effort on trying to make the bars look rounded, just plain flat gfx (no gradient - no "3d" look alike effect).

Thank you for the explanation. I will see what I can do.

best regards

Hmm...interesting choice for list view in Moving Pictures. I think I'm gonna have to go ahead and download it from the site even though it's not "final" yet. Not sure if I would want my cover art that huge or not. But still, I like that it's different. Keep up the good work.

Hi,

Thank you for your feedback buddyman. What do the rest of you think about the listview. Is it the layout I use for TV-Series better or is the Moving Picture the winner or should I use both (one fot tvseries and and one for moving pictures).

cheers

I really like that new view for Moving Pictures, however the movie posters are a bit too big I think. I would like it like this:

Create a horizontal bar at the bottom (like in Movie details, but about half or a third of the height) and here you have these:
Title
Runtime
Rating
Watched
Directors
Writers
Actors

The "plot field" or/and the movie list can now expand to the left as the height of the poster needs to be smaller to leave room for the "banner" at the bottom.

Hi emphatic,

I really like your mockup. I will try what you suggesteg but keep some of my layout and only move runtime, rating, and watched below the poster. New picture later tonight (late..).

Best Regards

I have to say that I didn't like that "leather" look - so it's good that it's gone... Do you consider to make the list (at least the one in tvseries) background transparent like it once was and in other parts like music or photo still is? Regarding the two list views: I like both somehow... I don't know but: Couldn't you use the Moving Pictures one as poster view?
