looking good

Are the changes to Wall and Infowall views intentional? I (and others) preferred the original more compact layouts...

Here's Wall:

And InfoWall:

yup, change was made because now it supports thumbs with non-poster format (was requested several times on forums and makes sense for a default skin imo)
not happy with it? i might tweak it a bit more.

[MilhouseVH]

Personally I preferred the more compact look as all of my thumbs are posters. Now, it just looks a lot less neat with so much wasted space.

However as it's intentional I guess the discussion should continue in the Estuary forum - I'll make a post and then you can gauge the feedback.

[phil65]

ok, cool.

[phil65]

I changed wall now to the layout used by infowall:

...and i might remove the year label since it looks a bit messy i think.

This is the corresponding confluence layout which gets "replaced".

Tbh I would also prefer a just-poster view, but i think this here works better when takin plugins, alternate scrapers etc into account.

[MilhouseVH]

OK, if you've changed it already there's no point me posting the current (new) look on the forum (I was in the process of uploading the old/new look to an imgur gallery, and failing!), but I do think this may need wider discussion before committing to these changes - I don't really see the point of adding the extra text below the thumbs in these Wall/InfoWall views, as to me a "Wall" view should just be about the artwork, with as much artwork visible as possible. Having to support non-poster thumbs now means that the majority of artwork (typically posters) is now surrounded by blank space. If there's a need to support non-poster artwork then maybe it should be done with a new/extra view?

The revised Wall view is better, but that text... hmmm. :)

Can we get the old Wall view back? For me the new look is terrible.. No need for that Background and text. Make it optional ;)

[zag2me]

Just adding my support to removing the year from title. It is unnecessary on that view.
