AZ2 used to use fanart/clearlogo combo instead of landscape art.
I personally prefer this new approach because landscape art loads faster than the fanart/clearlogo combo.
Keep up the good work @jurialmunkey
How do I change to landscape art then? I don't know how to do that.
By changing your view.
Landcape views now use landscape art as default.
If your movies and tv shows are scraped to your library without choosing to scrape landscape art, they won't have landscape art and they will fallback to fanart and clearlogo.

How do I default everything to 'landscape art'?

RE: Arctic: Zephyr 2 - DAVIZINHO - 2019-04-11
Hello, i have a maybe stupid idea but very usefull for me and maybe for other guys.
In my library i have 2 video sources for chapters of series:
- Local library (NAS)
- Netflix exported library
It will be very very usefull can define wich fonts are "streaming content" and apears in the skin with a simbol in the picture (o something).
Its posible in the skin or its more dificult?
thanks and sorry if this idea is stupid :-P

Ah great that worked!
Two other things I ran into:
- It seems that custom window 1132 only relates to Movie genres; not to TV Show genres. Is there also one available for TV Shows or will it be included in a future release?
- I my case, the genre icons are all the same (two rotated faces), except for the Horror (pumpkin) and Thriller (knife) genres. How can I get a different icon per genre? Not sure whether related, but I did note that the resource.images.movigenreicons.transparent add-on is installed (version 0.0.6)
Thanks for all the good work!!!
RE: Arctic: Zephyr 2 - hewligun - 2019-04-11
Is there anyway to get AZ2 homescreen to look like AZ1 home screen? Moving the menu items to the middle on the bottom instead of the top left aligned, etc.

Ah I see. I actually prefer to have play action show info for everything except tv show widgets. I guess the TV show item on the home widgets points directly to the TV show as an item, rather than the directory. Is it possible to change this?
For example when browsing the movie library selecting a movie opens info. But when browsing TV shows selecting a show opens seasons, then selecting an episode shows info. I don't think many people would find it useful opening the TV show info screen from the home widgets (I have a recently added/updated TV show widget, for example. Opening the info page for the whole show isn't really useful in this scenario)

Especially for movies it's hideous, since it's usually a copy-pasted logo on a random image. I'd rather have it use the fanart instead. Or do I have to revert and stick to an older build now?
why don't you remove the landscape art that you don't like?
Edit: nope. Please make it optional, it now reverts back to the 'general' series thumb/landscape

I had the same request early on. @jurialmunkey asked where the clock/weather would go, which I suggested either a limit on the # of items on the home screen so it wouldn't overlap and to centrally scroll the menu - or - move the weather/clock to the top right.
There never was a yay/nay or further discussion, so for now I'm adjusting line 8 "<left>-15</left>" in "Includes_Home.xml" from -15, to 500. This shifts the whole home menu over without effecting subsequent animations or other screens such as submenu etc. Dependant on your amount of items, how long their spelling is, whether you're using icons instead which are a lot shorter etc. - that number will be different in order to center it on your screen.
Example of my media room home screen:

Does this work how you describe in Estuary? If it doesn't then its not a skin issue.

I'm not using any widgets directly on the home screen, no - I like a super clean front / landing page. I am using submenu structure though for recently added etc. and widgets under there using the suggested tweak I mentioned doesn't effect their layout or position.
Which homescreen widget setting are you referring to specifically. Just had a tinker with it, and any setting I put up for home widgets etc. are still all centralised. The below pic is adding the "recently added movies" widget directly to my home menu "All Movies" item. All it's seemed to do is shift the menu to the top to accommodate the widget, which is still centralised.

No tvshow genre hub currently, but it is planned for a future release.
The genre icon pack is matched on the basis of genre name. Do you have genres scraped in a language other than English, because those wont match.

Mate, relax. I've been flat-out with work, working 14hrs days on the weekend and staying back until around 8pm every night. The landscape update was 4 days ago (on my one day off this week...)
Also, if you delete the landscape art from the tvshow then it wont show... I have no idea what you are trying to do, but on my machine as soon as I delete the the tvshow or movie landscape art, the skin reverts back to the old method of showing clearlogo overlaid on fanart.
If this is not working, please tell me in clear and precise steps how to reproduce the issue so that I can actually fix it. The skin is in "Alpha" - that means things should be expected to break and I am relying on users to report bugs so that I can fix any issues that arise rather than just adding options to change things back to an earlier state.

Home menu items were never centered on AZ1. They were always on the left with the clock on the right.
Turn off multiple midgets and menu items will be on the bottom.
I've already mentioned that the "classic" widget mode of AZ1 will be coming for the simple home screen.
Please keep in mind that this skin is in Alpha. Also, you can always use AZ1 if you prefer it - there is a Leia version on my github page.
