In case the developer(s) get a ton of free time on their hands, perhaps they could implement a couple of the following features? Wink

* Setting that let you toggle the file-type on/off from file view. Example: "My Holiday Video.avi" would be displayed "My Holiday Video". (it's easy, just split the string on each punctuation and rebuild it with all but the last in the result array :p)

* Ability to change background image for each plugin.

* Ability for multiple background images in one plugin, where it fades from one to the other on the list based on an interval defined in the plugins xml

* Ability to add images to the main menu items. Right now you can just add one image to all. Example: Next to "Video Library" I would like to add an icon of a stack of DVDs, just like I would like to add an image of photos next to "Photo Library".

* Search ability: From within for example "Video Library", under "Play" for instance, there could be a search choice. One the user highlight it, a small popup window (or equivalent) pops up that takes input. It doesn't have to be a search per sè, but could also be a filter, whereby if I pressed 'K', all movies starting with 'K' would show up on the list. Would also be cool if you can treat the numbers on the keypad to work like on a cellphone (press one time on '1' and you get 'a'), so that could be utilized on a remote.

Ok, I'll try to add this next to the next reelease.

All I can give you for these is a "maybe in a future release".

There used to be this functionality, it used "task images" next to the buttons.

Sounds like it could make a comeback.

What about an extention (or maybe the taskimages did this and I just didn't know about it) but have the task image and no text entry on the main menu..

Cool, I just migrated to C# from Java, and are having a blast. Similar, easy to understand structure... and Visual C# kicks butt!

Couldn't you (unless you can already just remove the text) either put the opacity to 100%, or just move the text off the screen? Then only the image would show Smile

I believe GB-PVR could be made just as "pretty" if you could change background images when entering plugins.

Hey, I'm no expert but I thought taks images were still available. It's just commented out in the default blue skin. I use the blue-retro-SHV skin and it uses task images. I've even added some for the weather and cinema plugins myself. I know the community skin has them as well.
