Ha! Literally just finished making exactly this fix and then saw your comment. Love the idea of the separator, so I've added that in too. On github.

Ha! I was going to suggest that but didn't want to be critical. Great job JM! πŸ‘

I'm glad other people agree with this change!

I think it looks much more cohesive and connected to the rest of the skin now. Also good to get a bit of distance from the apple tv+ look - which I wasn't intentionally trying to mimic, but I obviously must've channeled it subconsciously a bit.

quick questions im just cleaning up my libraries and made some library nodes,
now i cant find a way to add the nodes as a widget or submenu.

am i blind or is this not possible?

You should be able to add it normally.
e.g. Choose item for menu > Video Library > Movies > Your Node (or where ever you put it)

I have a node called "HD Movies" which is in Videos > Movies. I just checked now and I was able to add it both as a menu item and as widget (I tested with main menu, submenu, hub widget, and standard widget, and I was able to add it in all cases).

Haha, I did think you'd probably already be on to it but thought it worth posting just in case. Just had a look at the latest version & it looks perfect now, I think the seperator fits in nicely on the end as well Smile


RE: Arctic Horizon - Rijs43 - 2020-08-19

The Netflix icon is hard to read due the length of the text 'Netflix'. Is it possible to have an icon for Netflix with just the 'N' logo? This will fit better with movie and TV shows icons.

Thanks.


RE: Arctic Horizon - Rijs43 - 2020-08-19

Hi @jurialmunkey

Is it possible to show library indicators on posters only when poster is highlited rather than to show for each TV show and Movie constantly? This to have the posters clean but will be visible only when highlited.

Hope this will be implemented.

Thanks.

Also seems like a great chance to make that farthest left/top icon configurable Wink

I'd love to have the "second" icon in horizontal be my "landing page", and be able to nudge to the left for a simple "Search" shortcut, even if there weren't widgets below it (preferred, actually, in my case) Big Grin


RE: Arctic Horizon - sasquatchjaques - 2020-08-19

Would you consider adding the option to disable the header in top left (which says settings / movies etc) ? I know you could in arctic but can’t find option in horizon I try and keep the home screen less cluttered πŸ‘πŸ»

Fantastic skin


RE: Arctic Horizon - sabre6 - 2020-08-19

is it possible to get an option to lock the horizontal menu, like veritcal?


RE: Arctic Horizon - baruchin - 2020-08-20

Since last couple of releases, when I try to update via GitHub (.zip file) Kodi crashes. I have to re enter Kodi and update finalizes. Nvidia Shield 2017 and 2019 Pro. Is this to be expected?

This often happens to me, even on my PC, and even when installing from repo.

It doesn't usually crash Kodi completely, but almost every single update freezes me into a black screen, which either never goes away and I have to close Kodi, or when it does, menus/icons/etc... are "corrupted" and incorrect. If I wait long enough, sometimes Skin Shortcuts kicks in and fixes things, but if not, I have to close Kodi to get it to try again after boot. It's been an issue in every one of @jurialmunkey's skins I've used so far... but once the update is finalized, they're mint, so meh Big Grin

I'm kind of used to that black screen time while updating the skin, but this is the first time, well, second, that happens to me. It completely kicks me out of Kodi. Update finalizes and everything works as usual after opening Kodi again, and it really doesn't bother me at all, but just wanted to let you guys know.

That new horizontal menu is awesome, btw. I can't stop admiring all the dedication and perfectionism jurialmunkey puts on his work. Huge fan.

Added a few variations of netflix icon on latest (text only, icon only, and icon + text) - thanks to @dm21912 for providing the base icon that I used to make these!

Are you on Leia 18.8?

I've noticed this the last few times I've updated my htpc in the lounge-room but it's only been since I updated Kodi on that machine to 18.8 - wondering if it's just a coincidence and there's something in my skin code that's bugging things out, or if it's an issue specifically with 18.8
