I for one can't wait to try out the new stuff. Anyway question.

I've switched on the seasons greeting tab. It only snows in the settings page is that correct?

It's 3840x2160, i think if we resize left panel width slightly then it might not over shadow widget pictures. May be other don't have this issue.

OK I see the issue. 

You're using the widget zoom Achilles created. There's a diffuse mask associated with the left panel which is designed to mask the widget as it crosses into the left panel.  The zoom is pushing the focussed widget slightly into the mask area so a tiny part is being masked. 

I could reduce the mask width slightly to compensate the zoom but the problem is, I'm actually looking to slightly increase the mask width once we bring back fixed frame! Currently, you can see the mask's edge as the widget crosses into the left panel because the frame moves. But once we bring back the fixed frame and increase the mask width, the frame will completely hide this edge since the frame won't move.

I'm sure I can work something out though but it's best to just disable the widget zoom for now or live with it for the time being.

• Added Snow animations for homescreen. Found under Seasons Greetings in Homescreen Layout.
  
• Brought back the Fixed frame.  Do not select if you have multiple widget styles as it will not work properly.  Found under Widgets in Homescreen layout.
  
• Improved Spotlight corner image diffuse mask (hides the left edge a little better)
  
• Added option for a New spotlight corner image. This is similar to Achilles previous spotlight corner where you a get a nice big centre focus on the fanart. Don’t select if you prefer the whole fanart image fitting the spotlight. Found under spotlight options in Homescreen layout.
  
• Added back and tidied up the original font for foreign language support or if you just want to mix it up. Looks pretty good now! Found under the interface settings labelled as “Original”.
  
• Option for either red or white sublabel icons (top250/Director icon) on Spotlight Content and also home/bingie library views. Found under their respective parent settings in Homescreen layout.
  
• Fixed the red circle details icon not showing in Bingie library poster view intermittently
  
• Fixed intermittent problem with top250 sublabel icon incorrectly displaying in Bingie TV library
  
• Improved diffuse behind Netflix logo on Home for better widget visibility behind the logo.
  
• Changed the logos for RT/IMDB/TVDB details row. Also added a white logo version setting under the parent setting. Found under Details Options in Homescreen Layout.
  
• Fixed studios not showing with RT/IMDB/TVDB details row selected.
  
• Added New Footers for Home and Library Bingie views which now includes Rotten Tomatoes Fresh certification, Oscar Wins and Rotten Tomatoes Audience. IMPORTANT NOTE: RT Audience has it’s own toggle setting. Technically, it’s just a default database rating. Only enable it if you have set or intend to set RT Audience as your default database rating for movies (normally done with Universal Media Scraper) and all your movies have been scraped with Audience as the default rating.
  
• New footers include a color option, a white logo option and text only option – Found under Footers in Homescreen Layout.
  
• Added a new Plot & Critics footer that that also includes votes.  Please note: The RT Audience rating here does not require it to be the default rating.  It does however require that you have you this info scraped since this info is not available via skinhelper! A couple of methods I am aware of: UMS scraper or even simpler, Metadata Editor addon. The latter can quickly update all your ratings & votes.

NO RECENT BACKUP. OMG, forgot I was in the beta testing and auto updated to V19 beta 1. All my hours of setting your great skin up...all gone. The thought of uninstalling and going back to Leia only to have to set up my library and weird movie sets I made..😥. Any idea when we might see a Matrix version? Feel free to roast me to the extreme as I deserve it big style.

I have searched through many threads on this forum, and I can't seem to resolve 2 issues.
- TMDB ratings are not showing up in the footer (i have double-checked, and I am sure they are selected + in the critically acclaimed widget when TMDB rating shows it is stuck on a rating of 7.0.
- The other issue I'm having is; How do I get the movie title logo to show instead of the text title?

Also a small suggestion, I think you should slightly increase the icons for ratings and especially for movies studios. Some are too small and poorly visible. If I notice anything else I will report. ;-)

As I mentioned, Top 250 colour options are under their respective parent settings in homescreen layout. One’s in the Spotlight section, the other is in the Details Option section.

The studios are small but it was a design choice to keep the footer closer to the bottom.

Along with the smaller logos the idea was to stop obscuring the fanart or having the footer awkwardly placed in the fanart like the original version.

Because the studio artwork are all different sizes (so there’s no standard size artwork, just standard border) the only way you can align the rest of the footer with the studio logo is by aligning it to the centre of the studio logo, otherwise it looks weird. I’m not happy about that because I really wanted everything aligned to the bottom which it never can be. Keeping the logos smaller creates an illusion that everything is aligned to the bottom.

Larger studios mean the centre height is higher up, meaning the footer is also higher up which I don’t like. I did another version where the studio was moved to the top right of the fanart with the ratings remaining bottom right. But it meant creating a subtle diffuse behind the studio to show clearly in-front of certain fanart so I scrapped it.
