For the logo (I actually don't think this skin supports logos, but exploaded does) you have to select "add art" and name it "clearlogo" (after which all of my collections had that added to them). Also the disks shown at the bottom are only in exploded.

script.skin.info.service is needed to display infos about movie sets (plots etc.) - which now that I double checked I already did implement.

This skin does support clearlogos - the option is in Skin Settings > Furniture

where can i download the weather fanart?


RE: Arctic: Zephyr - jurialmunkey - 2015-07-27

Read FAQ
Q. Why can't I use the weather widget?
A. You need to set up weather fanart first. Skin Settings > Backgrounds > Set weather fanart. See http://forum.kodi.tv/showthread.php?tid=41650 for weather fanart packs.

I'm seeing horizontal banding artifacts, which move/change during animations, example here: https://i.imgur.com/1XWLABv.jpg

The background I'm using is here, if it matters: https://i.imgur.com/lRAJvCg.png

Think it might be a bug in Kodi, or skin specific? Running on a Pi 2, Isengard, latest git version of the skin

Also, is there any way to turn off background fan art completely? When using widgets like spotlight/recent episodes for movies and TV shows, fan art in the home menu is displayed, even though it's turned off in the settings and the "customize home" menu.

Cheers!

@jurialmunkey : In last git you have fixed albums widgets with classic home screen and button up enabled to show widget. But not for favourites.

Unfortunately, this pretty much cant be fixed without being excessively complicated.

Hey, I just installed the theme and played around with it. I noticed some inconsistency:
First the menu of video and music playback is completely different. This really annoys me. First it should look at least similar. Also on video playback the menu doesn't open when I press menu2 on my IR remote, only when pressing pause. Also after resuming some black bars stay visible for 10 seconds before they disappear again.

Also the overlay background of home screen and music playback screen differs. Would be cool if I could customize this overlay anyway.

Also some text labels are overlapping:
For example in movie view media info with extra info. If the directors name is to long it overlaps with the runtime. Or in music playback screen the next song title overlaps with the runtime label.

Does script.skin.info need to be installed manually? I can't see it in the repo

The Now Playing Queue is accessible from the OSD, thanks for that! However, there is no option to change View or Sort By in the context menu. (I'm no so concerned about the changing the View, but Sort By is currently showing the ugly filenames.)

Cheers

Fixed the banding, fan art problem, and got a *huge* speed-up in animation/smoothness on my Pi 2 by replacing bg.jpg with an 8x8 pixel png

Yes, download and install from zip


RE: Arctic: Zephyr - Edworld - 2015-07-28

I'm probably doing something wrong and can't figure it out.

I lost my hard drive and had to reinstall everything. I remember that when you used the extendedinfo script, it would identify movies in your collection with a "play" button. I can't find how to activate it, unless it is a change on the skin

Spoke too soon... the banding re-appears when browsing the skin whilst playing a video


RE: Arctic: Zephyr - magy77 - 2015-07-28

for this is no weatherpath neccesary right? Cant configure it to show this

Sorry for my stupidness Smile


RE: Arctic: Zephyr - Guilouz - 2015-07-28

It's necessary to set path for weather fanart in skin settings to show this weather widget.
