Two reasons, mostly based on my being text oriented, one is the menu text gets cut off in the vertical view and in the show list are sometimes getting cut short. Minor issues, I guess but they did sort of jump out at me. >> The TV guide is an improvement with the show >> name appearing at the top, might be good to go ahead give the >> description too. > Glad you like that bit.

I found that the old views were there after I posted( always find the answer after :/ ) rereading the Changelog. I missed them the first time as "d" is no longer cycling views but giving and error in osd.py at line 1506: IndexError: list index out of range. >> Not to mention the default icon looks like it is for a photo album. >> > True.

That makes some sense to have that view as it is popular for those with lots of albums with art. Most of my music is random collections of MP3's and radio shows with no cover art. New bug in the theme, it can;t seems to find the /geekbox/freevo-logo2.png. Also this is in both the old and new geekbox them them seems to lock up with the screensaver when in the Submenu. I have never noticed it before, may be just that i have not left it there long enough for the screensaver to kick in.
