This is a vertical and fullscreen mod of jurialmunkey’s excellent (fuse)neue skin. View options are removed for now, and list view is the primary view. The main menu is always accessible, and slides everything to the right.
Mod Principals:
- Fullscreen list view is the primary view.
- Always accessible main menu, sliding everything to the right. Pressing left on the main menu slides the submenu into view similar to Mimic’s vertical menu.
- Top layers will always shift more than lower layers. This will also be true for the context menu which will animate from right to left, and animate further than the list (which will only cover up the rating behind poster). This adds depth to the animations and doesn’t make all the objects seem as static.
- Large info area, which fades into the place of the list. This will have summary, actors, critic reviews, director, writer, also directed by, studio art, release date, last played, and language, in a vertical navigating layout with horizontal autoscrolling squares in case of actors and “directed by.”
You may completely disable fanart by setting transparency to off in skin settings. There are a few additional options here:
- “Shift Fanart” shifts the fanart with main menu. This option disables main menu transparency (due to image clipping), and the default is only to shift the poster and list with the main menu.
- “Pan Fanart” slowly pans the fanart left/right the poster width over 12 seconds. This disables “Shift Fanart” as well as main menu transparency (due to image clipping). This is my preferred setup so far. This doesn’t pan all fanart, and many are excluded such as hub backgrounds.
Currently broken or needing work:
- Square view needs an alternative
- Settings
- Info view
- Some directional navigation
- Vertical alphabet bar, to be shown on pressing right from scrollbar.
- Watched indicators (aesthetic doesn’t match, so disabled for now). I’m thinking of putting them after the title.
Some images of what I have so far with “Transparency” and “Pan Fanart” enabled.:
Homescreen with a random movie widget. The poster slides more than the list to also cover up the rating, which conforms to a mod principle and adds depth.
Movie list. All info here is subject to change. I’m not looking to add more info, but am open to replacing info (such as duration with year?):
Same movie list demonstrating the accessible main menu:

I’m looking for feedback and suggestions on everything, and absolutely everything is subject to change. I’ll be releasing this once I get a few more bullets done in the above todo list. A big thanks to jurialmunkey for creating fuse(neue), encouraging the mod, and being available for assistance.
