They're just borrowed from MediaStream at the moment but if you've got any ideas feel free to post them here.

When I go to programs or scripts xbmc closes. This works in the default skin.

Dialog is hard to use for adding a new source amongst others. I think you already acknowledged that this needed more time.

TV Shows poster view should download poster thumbs but it downloads banners and you have to manually change them. Is this configurable?

Volume - when this is max 00.00db is displayed shouldn't min volume be 00.00db and increase up to max volume? This was the same in Aeon skin so might just be my wrong interpretation.

It's looking very nice. Great work everyone who has worked on this. Can't wait to see the finished version.

I've fixed the missing progress bar for the volume and added a background when adjusting it will watched a video or visualisation.

As for the db part that's exactly how it's done in XBMC.

EDIT: Thanks for the soundpack link, I've chosen Tonal as that fits in nicely with Alaska I think.

Hitcher, fantastic work as always.

I have one question. I'm not sure if this is an XBMC thing, or a skin thing, so fix me if I'm wrong. When I finish watching a movie, and quit back to the movies screen, it always defaults to the first movie in the list, instead of the movie I was just on. This happens even if I just go look at the info for a movie, and then hit back, I get sent to the first movie. is this skin related or xbmc?

No, its because I'm using the same id for both the fixedlist and the wraplist at the moment while I try a figure out a way to get them to change based on the number of items in the lists.

ahh ok.

Noticed your volume works, mine works until i play a video or something, then i can't adjust via remote. sometimes does work but sporadic. I doubt that's cuz of you though.

maybe you are using passthrough, in that case changing volume is disabled.
