[QUOTE="scythelt, post: 186198, member: 27879"] Great stuff Harley, the skin looks really professional. I love all the little touches of animation to add that level of polish. A few comments: - I don't seem to be getting reflections on my tvseries logos, is anybody else seeing that? I looked at the skin file and it should be reflecting.... - Is there any way to display the show description in the old location in the screen where you're selecting a show? Showing the banner twice seems a bit redundant to me - and the description text at the bottom is a bit small. - I find the "highlight" indicator is a little obscure - quite often I lose what I have selected because it's not obvious which is the highlighted area. Is there a way to make it more distinct? This is a classic problem with UI haptics... - Is it just me or are the buttons on the navigation ribbon at the top of the screen a bit redundant? Either that or can it be hidden/more transparent? I don't seem to be able to access them via the remote, so I am assuming they're only there for keyboard users. I much prefer the minimalist look where the ribbon isn't visible in the "normal home" screen. - Ditto for the tv/camera/headphones icons down the bottom - are they functional? They certainly aren't with the remote, but I again assue they are there for keyboard users? - The "normal home" screen is a bit slow when moving quickly. The fade in of text is nice, but not particularly functional. Ditto for the icons, they don't really clearly represent what item is next until the text fades in making navigation painful. - On the basichome screen, is there any way of customising what plugins are listed and what isn't? Last.fm is displayed for instance, but I don't use it. Also, I logically went to "TV" to watch "TV Series" but I had to go to "Videos". I know that's the logical way the plugins are structured, but if the basic home screen is divided into a more "activity" based approach, IMO it makes sense to try and adhere to that. - In the basichome, all the submenu items are nocaps, but in "My Plugins" the "Plugins" submenu is capitalised. Picky, but still, looking for that polish :) - basichome always seems to default to "my pictures"? That's pretty much it - please take this as constructive criticism, other than the points above this skin has a big future ahead of it. [/QUOTE]
