Hi,
1. I have got some feedback on the moving picture filmstrip view. what do you think. Should I have the little info box with date, genre and plot or should I remove it.

Remove it.

Hi,
* TVSeries delay on open is much due to the fact that I have nine covers where most skins have five. I have remade this and also added a greate idea from emphatic related to fading the covers when scrolling ;)

Let's say you have 30 series showing 9 at a time. Will it be slower than showing 10 series, 9 at a time?

Wouldn't the way it was before, "showing as it loads" better? At least you start seeing the banners right away, even though it takes some time to show all.

Thanks for the prompt response!

cul8er,

I just installed global search. I was trying some things. When i use search fields i can see the text, but there is no background. I is very hard to read the text.

    Hi camoura,

    On my computer it is like you say;
    "showing as it loads"

    Do you mean you see nothing and then all? Strange.

    cheers

    The fixed version works. Thanks! :D

    To anyone using the fix make sure (obviously) that you delete you cache for the skin along with the cached XFavor.xml before you use this new version.

    Okay onto my next question.... how can I have it so certain plugins have their own seperate wallpaper? I managed to learn how to change the general default ones that I didn't care for but now I'd like to get it so, say, the Arcsoft plugin has its own specifc one instead of having the same one that Movies use?

    Here are the three I have done so far for TV Shows, Movies, and Music. I also attached the one I plan on using for Arcsoft.

    Look inside your X-Factor\Media\Animations\ folder. Put you music images (they will cycle automatically) inside the music folder etc.

    Congratulations on making the hot section!!

    - I like tvseries filmstrip view just the way it is. Only thing i don't like is the glass effect on the fanart photo. I noticed that when i select a series and press down, i can change fanart for the selected series using the right button, which is cool, but in my opinion it would be really awesome if it does this automatically after x seconds like a slideshow.

    - In moving pictures it's best to leave out the info box. The duration can be moved to the bottom. Is it possbile to show the rating of the movie, like "title of movie (rating)" ?

    Hi,

    What do you think of this layout for TVSeries filmstrip. I had to do some modifications to the released design to make it a little faster...

    cheers
