    And I realized the next problem :( Also in the schedules screen the really nasty navigation problem skipping every second row when pressing up and down appears. There are no transformatins or negative margins, there must be a bug somewhere else.
    I just tested this in the FEAT_UpdateTVE branch, there all skins and themes work properly in this list view.

    With merged Win 10 theme branch I can see the issue. So it must be related to specific style/layout. I try to check this in detail.

    I've seen that the schedule type column is too small, content starts scrolling:

    :whistle:

    ;)
    :whistle: Seems I missed them. Will try to remove them later, but I think they are not the root cause.
    Just tested this, it is the cause. As a hint for "visual debugging":

    Place a semi-transparent background color to the container controls:
    XML:
    <Button Margin="-10,-1,-10,-1" Style="{ThemeResource TVButtonWideStyle}" Background="#80800000">

    Then you can see the overlapping regions by the darker color.

    Changed the margins and everything is working well :) Sorry, that I missed it. Just an overlapping of 2 pixel caused this :rolleyes:
    Well, then only the Home Screen navigation problem is still unsolved. I keep in mind, that margins need to be checked carefully.

    Well, updating the weather screen made me realize that also the list- and gridview for MI does not really fit too much to a consistent Win10 look anymore.
    I quickly modified some parameters and I like the results:

    • Really all screens have a semitransparent grandient vertically from the footer into the center
    • The grey background box fits to other screens without beeing too dominant, the background FanArts are well visible.
    Of course the screens show only a quick trial. The focus background needs to be darker now and margins need to be updated.
    The CoverFlow view is not affected as it fits already into the concept.

    Hi.
    If you add a fade to the bottom I think the sharp edge between 100% transparent and darkened on the top is not too harmonic. I prefer a smooth fading from fully transparent to darkened as it is on bottom now but for both, top and bottom. Or you can remove the darkening on top completely as all important stuff there has it's own darker background...

    By the way, I now have tested if it's possible to add a new group to the BV menu only by editing the "MediaPortal.UiComponents.BlueVision.Settings.MenuSettings.xml".
    It works::D

    You only need a different GUID for the new group (here called "Test") and a .png (here it is the "record" indicator icon from an old MP1 skin) as icon, named as the used GUID for this new group. For testing I've copied and pasted the tiles from the "Images" group, but you can add every tile you like here...
    A nice and flexible menu structure, great.

    This won't fit, since no grey frame in other screens has this, also not in Windows 10. It's a Windows 10 theme, so people who do not like Windows 10, will also not like this skin too much ;)

    Or you can remove the darkening on top completely as all important stuff there has it's own darker background...
    I would not remove the darkened band on the top. Bottons directly on FanArts are a No-Go as you are lost and dependend on what is shown in the background can not realize the buttons anymore.

    You only need a different GUID for the new group (here called "Test") and a .png (here it is the "record" indicator icon from an old MP1 skin) as icon, named as the used GUID for this new group.

    Thats great and gives lot of freedom. I like when user can adjust the skin to their needs. (y)
    I'm just not sure how I can add a predefined group. As I mentioned to Morpheus_xx, I'd like to add a game group and the possibility to select the active groups in settings.
