That is, for 0.8.0Alpha2. Are you working based on 0.8.0 or 0.7.x?

Using the API of version 0.7.

The API won't change that much, nor will the main/queue/details parts.
It's the Config pages which have changed a lot.

Now, the Config pages have been put in a separate section, which overrides the Config support of a skin.
It would be nice if they could at least be re-styled to look as Glitter. Maybe just the CSS?

Actually, the passwords are in the API, in both "queue" and "qstatus".
A password is shown like this in the title: "title of job / password".
The slash was chosen because it cannot be part of a title.

Aaaah now I understand, that wasn't too clear for me.
Updated the skin so now it does show the already entered password in the popup.

Although I have now 3 empty files in the template, just so it won't throw errrors: nzo.tmpl, queue.tmpl (for setting password) and status.tmpl (for clearing error-list).

Will add a slider for the speed-limit in SAB 0.8.


If you can consider Glitter for the 0.8 release, I am of course very willing to spend more time on it and making it full-featured!

This template is looking awesome! Is there any plans to allow choosing of category and priority when adding nzb's?
It's really annoying that I can't set it, I tried to add it my self with no success.

I haven't tried the template, but judging from the first screenshot he posted it looks like you can choose category and priority by clicking the drop down arrow:

Indeed you can set it after adding it, but I could indeed add it to the Add-NZB popup!

Nice.

Suggestion: Make for the "+" more clear that it is the "ADD NZB" button? Maybe bigger? Maybe a "hover above"-value?
EDIT: Ah, when the download queue is empty, there is a nice bug "ADD NZB" full width symbol. Maybe leave it on the screen all the time?


The Play/Pause icon behaviour in front of the download line is the exact opposite how it is used in the Plush interface. Is this is on purpose?

You can debate the choices for play and pause forever.
I still don't know what to choose.
When you work from the assumption that a button should perform the action that it shows,
then the triangle should mean that a job can be resumed and the block that it can be paused.
The other point of view is that the button shows the status.
At least the job pause/resume buttons should behave the same as the overall pause/resume.

Having it show the current status makes the most sense to me. If people are confused then you could put a tooltip when they hover over them explaining what clicking it will do. Just my 2 cents.

I think one of the issues we never really addressed back the last time we had a great debate over the play/pause button, is that in SABnzbd it's really used for three states / actions: Actively Downloading, Will Be Downloaded, and Won't Be Downloaded. This may instead be split in the UI with a "download? yes/no" toggle per-item, and a row highlight for the currently active item.

I went from this idea, it shows what the button will do.

In Glitter, when a single download is paused it's progress bar turns grey to highlight it's Paused-status. Also it's icon (that will then be a Play-icon) is black instead of grey, highlighting that specific download.
When the Queue is paused, all downloads have grey progress bars (but not the changed icon in front of the single downloads) plus the Title and Status will say Paused, to make it more clear.

It will take a user 1 click to find out what the things do, I though this should be clear (specifically for Glitter)

So I have been working on it some more, but I have come to the point that I would be adding features I never use (quota, sorting of files in 1 NZB, etc).
I would definitely be able to add those, but only if Glitter can become part of a future release of SAB.. So what's the verdict?
