Hi MikeRus,

Short answer: not yet.

The font I use is "source sans pro". The font author has been working on cyrillic support for a while now: https://github.com/adobe/source-sans-pro/issues/6

I'm keeping an eye on it. As soon as it becomes available, I will include it.


RE: [WIP] Maximinimalism - MikeRus - 2014-02-14

Thanks for the quick answer. I'll wait

Thanks for de progress indicator Smile


RE: [WIP] Maximinimalism - MikeRus - 2014-02-14

Could I ask: this update will be update automatically or I should download ZIP file? How can I add "Skin Development" repository?


RE: [WIP] Maximinimalism - thedeadman - 2014-02-15

Hi MikeRus,

If you have the skin development repo installed on your system, this skin should update today.

Instructions for installing the the skin development repository can be here: http://forum.xbmc.org/showthread.php?tid=159372. You'll want the Frodo download.

Without the repo, you can still download the latest version of this skin from here: https://github.com/chrisbevan/skin.maxim...master.zip

Be sure to delete any existing copies of the skin on your system first if you are updating using the zip file.


RE: [WIP] Maximinimalism - postdeath - 2014-02-17

Heads-up: The skin was missing from my (Gotham) skin development repo, I had go directly to the github,

Are there any plans to change how the 'latest' bit works? I think it'd be tons better to ditch the latest menu item and have it so when you press down to get to tv/movies/music, the recently added list for that specific section is shown.

It'd also be amazing if you could add a 'new item' flag onto the 'tv shows by title' screen - something like a star in the right-hand side, where the tick is displayed for fully watched shows.

Thanks for all of your work!


RE: [WIP] Maximinimalism - thedeadman - 2014-02-17

Hi Postdeath,

Yeah - it's in the Frodo repo only for the moment. Support for critical Gotham functions (notably subtitles) is however included.

Great ideas re: recent items and new content flags, I'll add them to the list!


RE: [WIP] Maximinimalism - StfAL - 2014-02-22

Hello !

This Skin could be a very very good one ! I like it !

A few remarks :

- When you open the cast and crew window, if you press "back", you return to the film's list instead of the film's informations.
- When you open the musicnav window, it always shows the latest content, but "latest" isn't always highlighted on the left menu : If you choose "albums", go back to the main menu, then select "music", "albums" stays highlighted while the window lists the latest content.


RE: [WIP] Maximinimalism - thedeadman - 2014-02-22

Hi StfAL,

Thanks - glad you like it!

Both your remarks will be taken on board and attended to. I'm really aiming for the simplest and most intuitive approach possible, and a part of that involves forcing the XBMC UI to behave in ways it wasn't designed to. The things you highlight are a reflection of that process!


RE: [WIP] Maximinimalism - thedeadman - 2014-02-27

StfAL,

Fixes for the issues you raised are now on my GIT account testing branch if you want to update quickly.

Cheers!


RE: [WIP] Maximinimalism - thedeadman - 2014-03-03

Quick heads up folks:

I'm updating all my dev platforms to Gotham now, so future updates to Maximinimalism will be pushed to the Gotham WIP repo. The Frodo WIP will be discontinued on the next update.

Cheers!


RE: [WIP] Maximinimalism - miappa - 2014-03-03

Awesome! Big Grin
Great work on this skin by the way, I am still using it even though I am on Gotham. Works good IMO, but it will only get better now I guess. Smile


RE: [WIP] Maximinimalism - picaresqu3 - 2014-03-08

Really nice work!! I am currently using this on Frodo (12.2) and have a few questions:

- On the first forum post, I see your home screen has a background picture. How did you do that?
- How did you enable all of the background photos for your movies (while browsing)?
- I seem to have the name of the .XML file displayed for each section I navigate to - for instance, when I am at the main screen I get HOME.XML in the top left corner. Any ideas?


Thanks for all your time and work!!!


RE: [WIP] Maximinimalism - evandunkel - 2014-03-08

Great skin! I second picaresqu3's last two questions. Windows doesn't have a clear folder to direct towards fanart.

Also, how might a user switch profiles? I wasn't able to find any menu option to switch once I logged in.
If I'm not missing a feature that's already built in, I would love to see profile switching in this skin.
