Inker: I've already moved the description text in my xml for the xface skin? Or what text could it be you are talking about?

Okay so I've played around a lot with different positions and I think it's pretty good now, what do ya think?
Been thinking about modifying the bottom bars so I can fit in more text in the description box, would that be needed?

Hi Spuck

Is this view in the new xml you posted in the Xface thread? Reason being, i like this series/season view, but i don't know if i want to go over to the 3 column banner view right now.

No the new series select style is not yet in XFace skin.

Been working on a new layout yesterday/today and I want to know what you think and what can be improved! Thanks!

Very nice spuck, some thoughts:
- I relly like the title/subtitle at the top, looks very good IMO
- Did you intent not to show the next/prev view? I think it should def. be there because right now I'm kinda confused ;-) If you make the panel just lets say 30pixels more narrow, then you could write them to the left right of it (rotated like 90° - do you understand what i mean?) maybe with a little arrow to indicate the user can do something by "going" there.
- Maybe add something where the episode thumb appears if there is none. Just like some artistic element or something, I think it looks a bit empty otherwise. Maybe bring the grey bar from beneath up in a rounded like way or something. On the other hand it already looks "busy" enough, so nothing that stands out.
- I would bring the logos up a bit so they don't go into the grey bar
- Did you expermint with makign the select series banenr stand out a bit more, I think its a bit hard to say. Maybe use a slight zoom effect?
- And a special wish, any chance you could make a like 6 item episode view that shows the episode thumbs in the list directly? I would be happy to uncomment a section if you'd liek to keep it the other way by default ;-)

+1 on the last wish there xD

Wow, I am a big fan of the episode thumbnail in the corner, the inline thumbanils always kind of irked me. It surprises me how much opinions vary.

The new skin is looking great though Spuck, I like it a lot.

That is fantastic Spuck. I haven't been keeping up with the new layout with multiple column banners, but i would definately give that a bash. Love the layout for the series, i think its great.

skin files

Here's the new skin files for the screens I made earlier, well a few changes have been made.
[ Wider borders around the banners ]
[ some image where episode image is if there is no episode image ]
[ arrows on left/right side for last/next view ]
Just to mention some stuff.

Need some help with the rotating of labels. We want to have next/last view labels on top of the arrows to the left and right. Thanks.

Not gonna send it to harley until the thumbnailpanel bug is fixed in an svn version.

[ This is 5 rows (series banners) version so you need an svn version of the plugin and the thumbnailpanel fixed core.dll ]
