RE: Arctic: Zephyr 2 - Sjors125 - 2019-04-09
Is it possible to add views that are alike the ones from the Box skin
I feel those views share the same kind of simplicity that I like of all your skins and AZ2 in particular and I think some of those views could be translated to your design philosophy.
Fanart Logo → Just the movie poster and the name or some logo (could be that it is with a logo, but I haven't scanned all my movie art yet) So title could be replaced with poster (or be an option in the skin settings)
Thumb Info → Just 1 bigger poster; 2 rows of smaller ones + an info box. Similar to the KOver2 one further below, but with 2 rows instead of one
Fanart → just a fanart background, with the movie list on top
Banner List → the banner of the selected tv show on top; list below that and info on the right. I really like the position of the banner, as it is not in the middle of the row, but on top.
What I especially like in the Box skin is that it has transparancy when art is missing. So instead of a big black box where the poster ought to be, you could see the background fanart
I also like this view from KOver2. This could be translated to AZ2 as 1 row of 5 posters, a "2 poster wide" movie info box and only the fanart above it.
Also, in AZ2 the Info Wall view is missing in the lowest levels of the TV shows. I can select it in both the show list and season list, but the view is missing at the episode level.

Basically I would like to use my own background using blur without fanart(one colour theme throughout AZ2)

RE: Arctic: Zephyr 2 - Cartman255 - 2019-04-09
Hi @jurialmunkey
Since the update that uses landscape images as default the logos that used to be over animated backgrounds have disappeared??

I tried blurred using aperture mOS a few days ago but I couldn’t get the same glow effect. I'll try again sometime over the weekend.
RE: Arctic: Zephyr 2 - VGChampion - 2019-04-09
Hey there, just have a quick question about Aspect Ratios. Back in the day I played around with the View_57_ExtraInfo and changed some settings around so that it looked like this...
which gave the shows that were in 4:3 to have the proper 4:3 thumbnail instead of stretched thumbnail (see image 1). But in Arctic Zephyr 2, I cannot for the life of me figure out which XML file to change the aspect ratio settings around to prevent a 4:3 thumbnail from becoming stretched out. Currently it looks like this. I've been looking in Includes_View_50_List for something similar but I'm not even sure if that's the right place to be. Any help would be appreciated. Right now it looks like this still (see image 2)
IMAGE 1
IMAGE 2
Hopefully the first example is still accurate. I had the Leia Mod skin since I didn't have any pictures pre-Kodi 18. Hopefully this post makes sense! Thank you so much for your time. Love everything about this skin!

I don't know what myflix is, but I'm assuming it's a Netflix interface rip-off. Not interested in copying interfaces from other apps, so it's a no.

I can see why you say that, but then perhaps I did not made myself clear on what I mean exactly. English is not my native language, so I'll try to be better at explaining myself. I do not intend to offend you in any way ofcourse!
What you've done so far with AZ2 is sheer brilliance and I really like its design language: smooth, clean, simple, beautiful. I really do not want to have another skin or a revamp. I just intended to explain that I miss the movie title in AZ2's lovefilm view. That is the closest AZ2 comes to a fanart view but for my taste it is missing the movie title. Would you consider making that an option in the skin settings → lovefilm view with/without movie title. I understand why you feel that all other examples that I've posted are too fanart driven to fit in AZ2. What I just like about those views is where the posters, movie titles or movie info is situated. I have no need for only fanart, cause that indeed would not fit into AZ2. So I totally agree with you.
Another thing that I really like in the Box skin is the way it handles movies that have no art scraped yet. In AZ2, it will show a placeholder instead of the movieposter. In Box it just shows the background. Would it be possible to make that a option in the skin settings too? Like option 1: placeholder; option 2: full transparency; option 3: see through window.
Hope I have explained myself a bit better this way and the above makes more sense 😂👍👍
Have you checked my question about the Info Wall view in the episodes level? Is it really missing, or did I mess something up?
