Was really more curious about the sorting that would have the same movie name in three separate rows, but now I see that it is sorted vertically with wrapping.

Here's a screen shot of sub theme for Diamond I am working on loosely based on the BlueTwo theme and some little dudes from jusjoken.

It's looking great ! Perfect background image for Blue Two... looking forward to the release of all of this work

Here's a sample with green Diamond style highlights.

Any other colors people would like?

I like the orangish tones found in some of the Diamond themes myself...

How about this?

How do I enable the disk usage bar that I see at the bottom of the screenshots?

I have searched and searched and cannot figure it out.

Thanks! SageTV is working wonderfully here!

V7 w/ HD300 extender.

I was searching "Super Secret Extras", I found a thread that mentioned something like that.

Thanks for helping me out!

Stoked!

NICE. Looking forward to it.

FYI, it appears my wifes biggest complaint about the Diamond theme vs MB diamond is she doesn't like the font or the default black and white back grounds... so including updated cool backdrops like this eliminates one of her reasons for not wanting it on the shared TVs.

She is a big fan of the MBdiamond though so who knows if this will sway her.

There wil be several sub themes with different colored highlights and backgrounds so there will be lots if options. You can also take any of the sub themes and add you own favorite background images. There's no way we'll be able to satisfy everyones wives, that's your job ;o)

I'm not a big fan of the automatic text shrinking when overflow is detected. I think buttons with varying font sizes don't present a very clean and uniform UI. I have a couple of ideas:

1. Animated auto-scroll text left to right (and reverse in a loop) within the button. Apple TV uses this approach. Not sure how difficult this is, or even possible.

2. Simply shortly text for wordy buttons.

BTW, I really like this theme! I had a hard time switching from SageMC to stock when I upgraded to v7. Diamond definitely has the "pro" look and feel!

I too think the shrunken text is a bit off looking. It would be nice to have some alternatives. Regardless, this is still one of my favorite plugins. Thanks for your hard work on this.

How about a bit better way for viewing categories (genres)?

AppleTV inspired this method it works quite well

[Ericft]

me likes it.. much easier way to see things...would this work with my folders categories view which i have set up as genres as well...

[Skirge01]

Definitely liking that. I guess Apple isn't all THAT bad.

So every time you pick up a new gadget we get to have a new interface? Awesome.

Preview of "Diamond MC" sub theme in the next build. Simple and clean for those that want less bling.

Background will be slightly different as we can't use the MS default ;o)

[Ericft]

love the clean look...as blue is my favorite color, can you get something that looks like that MS background it would be perfect for me...also, any way to change the transparencies of the information pages so that they tend to be text on the blue background similar to your first picture?

Yes possible , I have what you are asking for as an option to the Diamond MC sub theme you just won't want to turn on the BG fanart in the Diamond Options as the white text disappears into the fanart pretty badly.

For people that don't want fanart BG it will look like this,



Cheers,
