[QUOTE="red_zebra, post: 1064692, member: 97560"] Hello @[USER=108759]powermarcel10[/USER] , I've to admit, that I didn't install your skin yet, because I'm just building up a new HTPC/Steam machine and so I didn't update and administer the old system very much. But since the beginning I am very interested in this project and, honestly, I am very happy that there finally is someone who really cares and fixes all the Titan-bugs which were reported for months and nothing moves... So, thank you very much for your work - Titanius seems to be a much better base for any customization than the original Titan skin. Anyway, I have some things: 1.

By browsing the [URL='https://www.team-mediaportal.com/extensions/widescreen/titanius']skin gallery[/URL] I noticed that basichome is now the only screen where the button panel font color is white. In Moving pictures, TV series, TV section etc. all texts in the blue button panel are still black, so I think it's somehow a break to the other sections to define the RSS-font color white in basichome, don't you think? 2.
