NEW: Choose between Light, Dark or System skins

Yes, We’re getting rid of the gray!

Game Collector now comes with a skin system, which affects the look of all screens in the program,
main screen, edit screens, add auto-screen, sync screen etc.. even the settings screens.

We have designed two different skins for you to choose from: Light and Dark.
The third option “System” is basically the old pre-v16.3 look.

  • Light: A clean look, white backgrounds, dark fonts. Very readable, easy on the eye.
  • Dark: A cool looking, modern design, with dark backgrounds, light fonts.
  • System: Keep things as it was, with the program following your Windows theme.

Please note:
The program now defaults to the Dark Skin. You can change to a different Skin using the Skin option in the View menu.

v16.3.4: Quick Filter panel tweaks

June 14th, 2016

  • The opening and closing of the panel is now much smoother.
  • It’s now less likely that the panel opens inadvertently,
    as the “responsive area” is now smaller and there is slight delay before it reacts.

  • Now automatically slides back when not clicked.

Fixed:

  • Edit Movie screen:
    • Episode list columns could not be resized.
    • Some field values were showing in bold.
    • On User Defined tab, the check box lists were not scrollable.
    • Check box lists didn’t show hints for items that were too wide to fit.
    • Date fields were showing a ‘0’ for empty Month and Day. Will now only show when Month or Day field has focus
  • Images View in Classic mode now also has a dark background while using Dark Skin.
  • Quick Filter panel: Collection status filter was reset after panel moved open and closed.
  • Vee Eight template: font size was too small.
  • Add Automatically: Search Queue info was not updated after selecting a result.
  • Import from Other Collection: Episode First Air Date and Episode Viewing Date year values were not importing.



Quick Filter panel tweaks

The panel now allows you to keep the selected filter active after closing the panel.
To do so, use the new “Keep Active” checkbox at the bottom of the panel.

Fixed:

  • Some cosmetic fixes to the Skins:
    • Light and System Skins: gridlines in main screen list are now more subtle (light gray).
    • Light Skin: now also has alternating row colors, just like the Dark Skin
    • Dark Skin: Toolbar mouse-over tool tips were hard to read.
  • Edit Movie screen:
    • On Links tab, the URL and Description columns were switched around. Type columns was missing.
    • Storage Devices: “Find available slot” was disabled even though a storage device was selected.
  • Add Movies Automatically screen:
    • Screen now opens (much) faster.
      (The New Releases tab contained many erroneous entries,
      making the loading of list and the screen very slow.)

    • Dark Skin: white panels showing while loading.



NEW: Movies vs TV Series

While talking to our loyal users, we often hear that, on their shelves, they are separating their movies and TV series. Hey, I do the same myself 🙂

However, in Movie Collector, the two are always all mixed together in the same list. So we figured, why not allow users to separate their TV Series in Movie Collector too?

So here’s what we created for v16.3:

  • Use the new “Is TV Series?” field in the Edit Movie screen to make a distinction between your TV Series and other entries.
  • Then use folders (or the new Quick Filter panel!) to show TV Series only, other entries only (or all together).


Please note:

  • The “Is TV Series” field will be automatically set for new entries that you add from Core using the Add Movies Automatically screen.
  • For existing entries in your database, the “Is TV Series” field will be automatically set based on the presence of either an episode list or a thetvdb.com link. You may want to check your entries though, to see if the automatic system missed some TV Series.
