[matinee]

I have managed to shrink down the skin content, removing unnecessary files, and had a revelation on most of the issues that were blocking me before when I realised that most of my template files were still referencing the 'alt' skin folder (insert Homer Simpson style expletive!). Anyway, to save my wittering, here's what you can expect from the new skin, in the way of a change log from the beta version...

Menu Page (blue gradient toolbar) - done
Movie page (respacing and structure) - done
Movie page (color theme alterations) - done
TV Season page (respacing and structure) - done
TV Season page (color theme alterations) - done
TV Season page (Episode title now displayed before plot instead of replacing genre) - done
TV Season page (Episode date now separate field)
TV Season page ('new' items no longer italicised) - done

TV Season page (list background to be changed to semi transparent) - pending
Menu Page (border issues for 'new' items) - pending (reverted some of this last night because it looked pants on Gaya)
TV boxset page (complete redesign based on new menu page) - pending
Global icon replacement - pending

TV Season page (fix display issues on browser) - v1.1
Code cleanup and final rationalisation (boring stuff for most people)

I'm going to try to put up some screenshots of the Menu and Movie pages, with the new icons, tonight with the TV Season page to follow soon after. At this point I may release a beta 2 version of the skin, with an update later for the new TV boxed set page, it all depends how long it takes to put the new page together. Either way, I hope to have either v1.0 or Beta 2 uploaded to Omertrons site sometime over the weekend.

@lordy - Is it worth breaking out the skinning discussion into a separate running thread? I think this would be handy because, as we add more skins, they will need to be updated on occasion to dovetail with new functionality in the Oversight build - It would be a good place to share these kinds of changes to keep everything fresh. Are there any new elements or tags that I should be aware of in the last couple of releases (I'm still a couple back at the moment)?

Hi,

Thanks for the great work! Looking forward to the screen shots. Could you also please share if Movie Boxsets are in the pipeline...(?) I have a few movie packs bundled as boxsets - James Bond, Bourne Series, X-Men, Spider-Man etc...

Thanks
