I think I found a glitch... While playing a video, I go back to the files list and press the file info button. The info comes up but it's transparent, so kinda unreadable. Can everyone confirm this?

I noticed an error in the sounds.xml file, after noticing when taking a picture, it was playing the wrong file, so looked at the .xml to verify things.
This is the correction-

<sounds>
  <actions>
    <action>
      <description>Move Left</description>
      <id>1</id>
      <file>cursor.wav</file>
    </action>
    <action>
      <description>Move Right</description>
      <id>2</id>
      <file>cursor.wav</file>
    </action>
    <action>
      <description>Move Up</description>
      <id>3</id>
      <file>cursor.wav</file>
    </action>
    <action>
      <description>Move Down</description>
      <id>4</id>
      <file>cursor.wav</file>
    </action>
    <action>
      <description>Select Item</description>
      <id>7</id>
      <file>click.wav</file>
    </action>
    <action>
      <description>Parent Directory</description>
      <id>9</id>
      <file>back.wav</file>
    </action>
    <action>
      <description>Previous Menu</description>
      <id>10</id>
      <file>back.wav</file>
    </action>
   <action>
      <description>Previous Menu</description>
      <id>85</id>
      <file>shutter.wav</file>
   </action>
    <action>
      <description>Screenshot</description>
      <id>85</id>
      <file>screenshot.wav</file>
    </action>
  </actions>

  <windows>
    <window>
      <description>Dialog Kai Toast</description>
      <id>107</id>
      <activate>notify.wav</activate>
      <deactivate>out.wav</deactivate>
    </window>
    <window>
      <description>OSD popup</description>
      <id>114</id>
      <activate>shutter.wav</activate>
      <deactivate>-</deactivate>
    </window>
  </windows>
</sounds>

There's 2 traces on Previous Menu, the highlighted one above should be removed, as it messes with the proper file playing. Instead with that in, it plays the shutter.wav file instead of screenshot.wav file since it's lookinng only at the 1st one, which is the shutter.wav label.

Tnx djdafreund, I was so tired when i did that part....I'll correct it when i get home.

The first time I just uploaded the wrong file (please forgive me) so there isn't really a changelog, changes from the older version are so many that i cannot remember them all:

- i made all the changes to make it 1.3 compatible
- the black blob due to hardware overlay in video preview is not a problem anymore because has been fixed by JMarshall a few weeks ago
- memory usage in the home page is not a problem anymore either as the gif images are turned off when player is playing, this mean you can leave the default cache and i can use bigger and better quality animations

MrPike i'll surely check that, Tnx.

Does this mean you are working on even better animations?

I like the rotating shutter on the lower orb, how about adding something similiar to the upper orb ( camera apperture type shutter? )which only runs when first started, like the new start up sound.?

This skin just gets better and better.

I can't do that because the shutter will open all the times you go back to the home screen, can't do it only one time.
I can do it only when something play, video or music or both.

Never mind, it was only an idea. It's great as it is.

I'm really glad that you contnue to work on this. I am just getting to lazy to keep downloading new version. We need an app to just download a new version once a week automatically. Just kidding.

I figured out that lately I use XBMC more to just look at the skin than actually play media.

How difficult would it be to edit this so that the orbs would be in different areas ?

I like this skin the best but Id like to make the orbs  be in the center most portion.
Or at least be able to shift the buttons around.

Just wondering how difficult it would be. Is it anythign more significant then changing alignment values ?

Is not very difficult but will take you alot of time, you'll need to modify the background to cut the holes in the new orbs position, and reposition al the labels and images.

Tnx Splinter and PuddWakkr :)
