Here is a Demo of the Experimental Beta Theme ive been tinkering around with.

Worked on all 3 at the same time for a little ‘Variety’  (Each One is Slighty Different)

They are all a ‘Work In Progess’ lots of little things need doing/fixing etc etc.  
(not happy with a lot of things actually, Preview View was quickly done.)

PLEASE READ THIS BEFORE POSTING:

IMPORTANT NOTE ABOUT ‘LIST VIEW’

The Idea was to create a way to have all views with the “ONE” moviesheet.
This, i achieved with all of the Views  
 but ‘List View’ is a special case.

In creating a solution, ive created another problem
   List View is ONLY compatible with the Moviesheet.
This means ‘Standard’ Image dimensions will be totally messed up.

The Reason ? 
 Well, to achieve the Gallery MovieSheet to be used in List View required the image to be

Drawn ‘Twice’
 Once for the ‘Top’ half and again for the “Bottom”. And to make things more complicated, the ‘Top’ half is not the

same Horizontal Resolution
 so i ‘Scaled It’ to match the Bottom Width Dimension.

I did create a Template for Music Covers (or any picture wih Equal Width & Hieght) that can be used in this List View
(Which took a heck of a lot of working out
 lots of scale/aspect/x/y/w/h/crop etc etc)

In Conclusion, the List Mod Works
 but i totally understand it’s most probably not very practical
 but hey, i tried.
Only other solution is to ditch the List mod, and create Separate Moviesheets for that View
 which brings it back to ‘Square One’ for me again.

Anyways, at least with the LIVE HUB you can easy swap between Themes depending on your needs.

Well here some pics, and download link at the bottom
  (a decent amount of Demo Movies this time ) :slight_smile:

This work is beyond awesome!

Thanks!

If only WD came up with a moviesheet view whereby,

if folders are arranged like that:

/folder

movie.mkv

movie.xml

movie.jpg – cover box

sheet.jpg -moviesheet.

Then when selecting the folder, the sheet.jpg is displayed. This will facilitate the life of all of us.

No Need to design special themes!
