Display mode is now selected below the sidebar

New rating stars have been designed to blend with the wood design.

A mouse hover over will be added soon to display more information.

This looks a lot nicer than the white, would there be any future chance of selecting your own backgrounds for Listal? Perhaps not a personal background, though some people might like that, but i mean you could have Listal Wood, Listal Metal etc and people can choose their preference, as that might not be everyones cup of tea, where as white is neutral.

I like that idea, RB6K.

I want Listal Suede ;)

I love the wood look, except two small issues: Images that appeared good on white but have non-rectangular outlines (like arcade games) now stand out like sore thumb because JPG doesnt allow tranparency (adding PNG option to uploads would fix that). Other issue is the yellow star for ON, and dark brown for OFF, is for me rather hard to distinguish. If you could make the stars, when they are turned ON, to appear almost 3D and sticking out, it would help address it. I think the fact that both colors are just plain with no bevels makes it a bit confusing.

I tried with more obvious stars but it just looked horrible, I can try experimenting a bit more, the other option is to not have any stars.

Would black stars work (or just darker coloured ones)?

Is it possible that this view can extend to show, for example, 50 items all the way down the page? A number that is selectable by the user?

would it be possible to have an outline of star (using say an Inner Bevel technique) to make it appear like there's a hole with outline of star... and once a star is active, it gives effect of dropping a star into the hole (make it like a Teal colored star with an outer bevel).

I'll try to draw something up to see how it looks like.. You can keep concentrating on more important tasks :)

love the onslaught of updates today!

When you're viewing one of your lists (eg, http://robelanator.listal.com/owned/dvds) there's a link at the top of the list called "Display Mode". Click that and a pop-up will appear where you can choose the "Wood shelf" option.

At the moment you can only set display modes for the main lists e.g. items you have rated or added to watched/want to watch.

all Right! Thank you for your help.

What i did to solve this issue:

- Opened a List of Movies
- Then switched the status to "Watched" or "Want to watch"
- Go to my Movies tab, and select "watched" or "want to watch"
- set display mode to Shelf.
