When browsing music in filmstrip view only the folders with cover art are zoomed. Is that the way you've intended it to function? It would be nice if folders with no cover art would zoom to!

The title of the movie should be visible in the lower part of the screen, right next to the video hover. At least it should be...

No intention on that. I have all my music library with folders so I haven't seen that. I would have supposed that everything was zoomed? Anyone know why this is the case?

    just had a look, and i am very impressed! :)

    i have one suggestion.
    not long ago, we raised the question about the font size in the team.
    some of us think that the font is way to small in many areas, which makes the GUI nearly unreadable.

    in my case (32" LCD, res 1280x720 used) i can hardly read the text on buttons or list entries from a normal viewing distance (even when i wear my glasses).

    what do you think about increasing the fontsize and with that the readability? :)

    I agree. It seems that a lot of the skinners (btw respect for every skinner for the effort they put into their skins) tend to make the gui not realy a 10 ft interface.
    I used to use MCE2005 and just recently made the jump to MP. In my opinion MP is way better than MCE.

    I hope that the skins become better and better. I personally like the professional looking skins that make your system look even more like a dedicated HTPC and less like a PC.

    Great Skin. Especially the music en video browser is incredible.
    Personally I prefer the blue Two Wide skin because of her great and proven user interface.
    But... B2W could be better en more up to date with the music en video interface from 'the Core' skin. Pershaps an idea to integrate this into the B2W skin?
    If I could do it myself I would. But I am just a humble graphic designer and not a skin buff.

    Keep up the skin work!

    Impressive!! the Filmstrip and the Music library are superb!.

    I agree with infinityloop and joostzilla with the font size. I use 4:3 skins on my 32" LCD because the font size is easy to read.

    Thanks for all the feedback! Regarding font size maybe it would be a good idea to have two versions? One with bigger fonts for smaller screens and one with smaller for bigger screens.

    With my setup it looks perfect but I also run a fairly big screen.

    Can you give me any hints on the font size you would require as minimum on your screens?
