BAS 225 Posted January 30, 2015 Share Posted January 30, 2015 (edited) Looks good guys, i have concerns over the fonts but as long as their exposed I should be good. Would like to see some rt icon and score, ratings score, and mpaa/parental icons. Since you got someone who likes to dabble in photoshop im interested in seeing that sort of stuff. I like all the updates too chocolate, it looks real sharp especially the icons like rt, continuing, ended, favorites, watched but that list on the left was designed 4-5 years ago and hasn't changed, the scroller doesn't even wrap. Anyways you got my dropbox and skype if I can be of any help let me know. Keep up the good work. Edited January 30, 2015 by BAS 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aspdend 174 Posted January 30, 2015 Share Posted January 30, 2015 I don't mind the font, although I will wait final opinion when I see it on my TV! Like BAS, I would like to see more metadata, rt and ratings and definitely parental rating/icon 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hahaha, yeah, I know you are very particular about stuff, but because of that you are probably the best tester I know, plus you've been doing this for a long long time So when I'm done(or think I'm done and you've broken eveything you can) and you've created the "Arrick" style, i'll include it before it goes for Alpha testing Edited January 30, 2015 by Cheesegeezer 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yardameus 220 Posted January 30, 2015 Share Posted January 30, 2015 I wondered about the font as well, but sometimes things like that seem more clear when you are actually browsing through the theme, not just looking at a picture, so I'll wait on judgment until I actually see it. Good to see you back and making more themes. For a moment I was hoping you were too busy developing a new theme for MBT behind the scenes, and that's why you were more "quiet" than usual. sigh... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cheesegeezer 3086 Posted January 31, 2015 Author Share Posted January 31, 2015 thanks buddy, well the reason I've been quiet is because I have a house to completely renovate from scratch and also work and code when I can. And to add to the the missus has just bought a thorough bred to add to the 4 we already have, so I'll be building more stables. Lol Anyway MBT is not ready to accept themes just yet, and I love MBC over every other client, in fact I just bought an Intel i5 NUC to replace the RAoku3 in the bedroom. So I thought I would make another theme and I'm lucky to have @@shaefurr to help with designing it. I find the font works really nice in the theme and its teamed up with Segoe UI Semilight which looks nice when reading overviews and long strings of text.

yardameus 220 Posted January 31, 2015 Share Posted January 31, 2015 Yeah, my hope was MBT was secretively ready for themes. I too really like the look. I also like how the font is "big" but not too imposing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cheesegeezer 3086 Posted January 31, 2015 Author Share Posted January 31, 2015 So I'm currently working on the Details View Layout and Here is the WIP. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cheesegeezer 3086 Posted January 31, 2015 Author Share Posted January 31, 2015 (edited) Yesterday, Got Busy finishing off the Final Details Page. I have taken your comments onboard regarding, MPAA, RT rating, Imdb rating and MediaInfo and will definately be factoring those in. Shaeff needs a time out at the minute, so I need to honor that. I'm a little stuck with what to do with the Episode thumb image. So here are some screenies for your for what to expect from the Final Details Page http://imgur.com/a/5wLTh Edited January 31, 2015 by Cheesegeezer 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ebr 14912 Posted January 31, 2015 Share Posted January 31, 2015 I think the episode thumb is fine but make it a little larger and lose the series poster (or whatever it is) in the lower right corner. It is just duplication and noise you don't need. Looking really slick. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ebr 14912 Posted January 31, 2015 Share Posted January 31, 2015 I do agree, however, with the previous comment that the font spacing in the items like "Director" and "Aired" make those items very difficult to read. The eye has to really focus in just to pick out the words and then you have to concentrate even harder to discern the difference between the labels and the values. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is just duplication and noise you don't need. Looking really slick. Yeah I should make it larger and move it away from the text more, the image in the lower right is actually a Clear Art image, we were thinking it's a more funky way off representing a logo, as we've done away with the logo, due to the poster being a really good size. And thanks for the kind comment I do agree, however, with the previous comment that the font spacing in the items like "Director" and "Aired" make those items very difficult to read. The eye has to really focus in just to pick out the words and then you have to concentrate even harder to discern the difference between the labels and the values. Yeah i've been looking at them more and I have to agree, for the smaller text, expecially with 2 lines or more, makes very it very difficult. I'll just use the Segoe UI Semilight I've been using for most of the other smaller text. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yardameus 220 Posted January 31, 2015 Share Posted January 31, 2015 I think the episode thumb is fine but make it a little larger and lose the series poster (or whatever it is) I think it's just the clearart over a building image in the background, which makes it look like a poster. Didn't bug me in any of the other images, but it totally looks redundant in Arrow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

buddyweiser 105 Posted February 4, 2015 Share Posted February 4, 2015 No chance, you know my views on pointless animations lolHaha I do, which is why I was surprised to see the disc art lopsided, giving the appearance that it was rotating when the screenshots was taken.

ebr 14912 Posted February 5, 2015 Share Posted February 5, 2015 Personally, I still think there is too much going on but that's just me. Also, I think you need to make the smaller tiles on the bottom be an exact multiple of the larger tiles above them so that they line up. But, with you and Shaefurr on the case, I'm sure you'll work all this out so I'm gonna move on now... . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
