[QUOTE="Dadeo, post: 1099283, member: 27204"] That's correct - I realize it is not that intuitive, but anyone who uses filmstrip/coverflow soon learns to use up arrow for the menu off screen to the left :rolleyes: The reason I did not explicty control the navigation before was to allow you to use left/right arrows which imho is more intuitive. But it seemed to cause you major issues! The ability to use down arrow was added to filmstrip only recently, tt was hard coded previously. So I added the down arrow button for the details off screen to the right. As I mentioned previously I would like to make it work like your option a: i.e. corresponding arrow key, but haven't managed to find a design that works for aMPed's umpteen different options (screen sizes, layouts, font sizes etc.). The right and down arrows are conditional if there is a details/metadata view. The 'screen blink' is beyond my control. It occurs because the right/down arrows are conditional, so the skin engine tries to navigate to them but they aren't there. I'm not really sure why it refreshes the list in that case, but I'm sure there must be some other case that requires it for other skins ;) Better that, than the case you had before were it does not display (e.g. after changing layouts). Yup AFAIK only aMPed offers different Thumbs/Covers layouts for videos. It's mainly because sometimes you have a movie cover/poster and in other cases you have a thumb image from the video. The reason you get a gap in the menu isn't due to covers/thumbs. Defaultwide menu includes an option to jump to TV Series if you have it installed. But, it doesn't use the option to 'close up' the menu when items are missing. Probably because 90+% users install TV Series plugin. Yeah, it's what I always recommend to new users (and in Wiki) Just thought I'd mention the WTV plugin so you know the option exists. OK just to confirm, did the files I posted fix your problems accessing menu items? Is it only the confusing arrows you still have issues with? [/QUOTE]
