And that's why I want to ask you something. I'm from Ukraine. And your skin fonts have not all cyrillic symbols. In UA it hasn't "і,ї,є" and in RU there's no "ё".

2. Ok, that is your opinion and after thinking about it i will agree! But the german label '18' is out of the center and the font looks bigger if i compare it with the other german labels. And don't hurt me, but why are the mpaa labels colored!? Every other label is grey...

If there is anything you need from the script just let me know. I am working on a basic redesign of the script, so if you have any ideas what could be implemented in a skin but is just not provided by the script there is a good chance that I could add or rework it in the future.

I sympathise with not getting musicvideos to scrape properly - I had the same problem for ages. Are they dvd-rips by any chance? If so: I had a lot of luck using the concertdb-scraper. It's quite forgiving and gave me a great scrape even before editing the filenames.

@jurialmunkey maybe you can add some typical templates to easy customice submenus. Many users (like me ) don't know how to add Musicvideo submenu or others... (yes now I know that have to add this ActivateWindow(Videos,MusicVideoTitles,return), but not everybody reads this forum)I think it'll make the skin customization easier...

In the distant future it will happen, but for the time being I would much rather focus my time on other aspects of the skin. I've dedicated a massive amount of my free time to this skin so if someone cannot be bothered to do a little bit of research themselves or come on here and ask a question then it is their loss not mine.

To make a custom item for in-progress is really easy. Create a new smart playlist in playlists with type set to "movies" and a rule that is "in progress" and "true". Save it as whatever you want then add it as a sub menu item with the type set to video playlist.

The one thing that would be great was if RCB used the skin's standard dialogs and context menu rather than having to skin those separately. For instance, the "edit rom collection" dialog should just use DialogAddonSettings.xml from the skin.

I will check if this is possible. But I am not sure it will be flexible enough for some stuff that I am doing in the dialog (e.g. dependencies between controls and stuff like this).

I've never used Confluence Mod so I'm not sure quite what you mean. All the main menu and sub menu items can be customised to be pretty much anything already.

Yeah, my music videos are a bit of a mixed bag of video clips of songs, dvds, concerts, and live clips from tv shows like Jools Holland. I just find that no matter how I scrape them, either some get missed or get the wrong info, wrong artwork etc. etc. and I find I just end up reverting to file view.

The major colors of your skin are black, white and greyscales. So simply change the colored movie poster or the episode thumb of an watched one to greyscales and fade it a little bit out. Maybe the same way as you do it to the background fanart but a little bit darker.

It's just an idea...
