This has really become a nice skin, and VERY configurable. Recommended to all users!

BTW, will you update JustRetro to support the newest version of TVListings plugin, or is it already compatible?

Great work Jaggy (as usual)

Updated the TVListings default included skin for v3.6.x

From the change log only three messages before your message

But having done that for this release, I have been trying to get some motivation (& found it very lacking) to start to convert the TV Listing & TV Recording skins to the JustRetro style & your message has got me started...... I'm not saying how long it will take though as the Listings skin is a right royal !@#$%^& of a skin to work with...

Thanks guys I'm glad to see at least someone else apart fro myself thinks it has some merit as an alternative skin..... Pity I can't get screenshots that do it justice though, nothing I have tried actually has worked to show what it looks like on the TV But even with that I'm a tad surprised at the lack of other users giving a trial/try out though I would have thought there would be a number that would actually like to be able to see the extra data & the extra bling displayed.

Perhaps I should ask more stupid questions

As a follow up to your comment on my episode bling wishlist, I have the same request to you as I made to sub, it would be better if JustRetro (with sub's help) had support for wide-screen aspect for episode. If you look at this example (the screen's do have a much nicer layout then Default) you can see the screen is clearly designed for cover art aspect.

With more testing I could not avoid showing cover art from Media\Shows if it exists, I had to rename it for this test.

Oh I agree with you totally (refer for my other reply back to the wishlist thread).
It was only a few minutes work to produce the episode art view below & it also works much better for banner art as you can see in the next screenshot.. but it would require some option from sub to make it work properly.

BTW I noticed you are using no background images with JustRetro, you can do this fully if you want by putting any image you like into "NPVR\Skin\JustRetro\_BackgroundImages\Backgrounds" with the name "Background(NoPic).jpg" & then run "Change MainMenu.bat" & select the "3. Non Picture Background Image" option & it will change all the backgrounds to your image.
