Loving this skin more and more. I do have an issue where periodically it refuses to go back a level (IE: Back to the main menu) if i push the back button on my remote... but once i taught the wife to push the "home" button, she was happy again 
I noticed this as well (only with the latest version), but I was attemting to reliably reproduce it before posting it as a bug. Anyway, I worked around it the same way - by mapping the home screen command on my remote (which I hadn't done previously).

Some big news...
I've been in contact with boilermaker about the "up/down scroll button sticking" and he has managed to find a kind of solution. However after working on that particular problem for two days, I gave up. By the time boilermaker had come up with a temporary fix I had already restarted the skin, from scratch, using B2 wide as a base. The first thing I did was look into that issue and it is now working fine. I basically did this for a few reasons.
B2 wide is a default skin for MP and therefore always being updated, this will allow me to keep up with changes more readily, and it should be easier to port to SVN etc.
Most plugins are released with a B2 wide template which would be very similar to Replicants files.
B2 wide has been tested to death and there are very few, if any, bugs reported (that I'm aware of).
A lot of minor "niceties" were missing from Replicant.
Finally my LCD resolution is natively 1366x768.
I apologize for the inconvenience, however I do believe it's a good decision. A new version of Replicant will be posted asap. Please be patient.
Thanks,
Psycho Reptile

If it's not too much trouble, could you post it or point me in the right direction? I guess when boilermaker utdates his mce skins they could serve as a template if I know where to look. It would be nice to be able to fix this issue for myself.
Nothing to apologize for. I hope you manage to keep the look and feel from nonafo/Replicant with the new XML base, and hopefully make the skin easier to manage and keep current in the process.
Good luck on the reskining!

after playing with Replicant for a while, I realized my temporary fix introduced a different problem. While Psycho may have originally started with my skin files, he's definitely made it his own, and i'm looking forward to seeing the upcoming changes.

The new version will be I identical, or near as dammit to Replicant. I still want the skin to look and operate the same. I making good progress, I'm finding my way around B2 pretty well.
THANKS alot for your help and interest Boilermaker, never got round to pm you but I really do appreciate it.
The current version of the skin will remain until a new version is released. Hope that's not too much of a problem.
I'm guessing that is part of the new TV engine. I don't use it yet and it appears to need svn. Replicant doesn't support svn atm, but will do in the near future.

I just wanted to post a few "new" bugs. But reading you (Psycho Reptile) are redesigning the skin from scratch on B2 base this may be obsolete...
I am looking forward to see the "new" skin hoping I am still able to use it because you are not using a HDTV resolution for it anymore (sadly).
Just another thing about the design:
It is nice to see you being inovative and playing with new grafics and features. But regarding the "pop-up" menu (speech bubble) styling you should think of other colors or go back to the old styling (IMHO).
Nice weekend to you all!
