[QUOTE="patricon, post: 185989, member: 52492"] Well it's time to do some constructive critics to this skin. There is some bugs and also some aesthetics than can be enhaced: 1) Icons in basic home screen. The colors should be more simmilar beetwen them, right now it appears to have two groups of icons: Pictures and Music, and in other side, Plugins, Video and TV. The black parts should be in the same gamma and also may be that the metallic parts are too bright. 2) There is no now playing overlay in basic home screen, so please, consider this: [url]https://forum.team-mediaportal.com/showpost.php?p=178826&postcount=141[/url] and also this: [url]https://forum.team-mediaportal.com/showpost.php?p=178826&postcount=141[/url] 3) Top bar. The selected button is not very visible, it's hard sometimes to identify what button is selected. 4) News reader. There is some overlapping bugs with the title in top right zone. Also, the news content overlap the white zone to the bottom and it's hard to read it. 5) Full screen OSD when watching movies. I think that the right approach to this design is something like Replicant skin, your info covers almost all the screen and it's not very practical. I think that it could be more useful only a little top bar, and also a horizontal semitransparent area at the bottom. Also, when i pause the movie i like to see at the top the progress bar showing the remaining time and other info (like in Replicant skin) 6) Home screen (not the basic one) the crystal selector should be bigger (horizontally) to allow wider text. Also all plugins have the same picture (bug). Also please, consider to use here the icons that i've sent you i think that they are like the basic home screen ones and fits in a better way the aesthetics of this skin. Or change the basic home screen to fit that pictures that you've used in home screen... 7) Worldmap plugin doesn't work. 8) File explorer plugin have some bugs (the list is displaced to the right) 9) Web browser plugin. Please consider to have the top bar with simmilar design than the used in basic home screen 10) My lyrics. Please consider to have a button link from the Now playing screen (like in Replicant skin) it's very useful and also, a button link to current playlist from this screen. 11) Fonts. Font used as title for Movies, when viewing in filmstrip mode, is very small and may be it's to low. I think that it could be better to use a bold font, and also, move the texts a bit to the top (near the bottom of the video case icon) 12) In Now playing screen, there is a small speaker at the bottom, please consider to use here the black speaker that i've sent you (that fits better with other icons in the bottom right) 13) White zone at bottom of most screens. I¡m not sure about this colour/desing. I think that you could work a little more improving the bottom zone to keep the same high level of design as in other screens and gfxs.. I agree with others who thinks that this is a fantastic skin, you are doing a great job, but it still can be better.I hope that my critics don't bother you a lot. thanks again, and best regards...
