Let me know if you're having issues with any particular screen and I can take a look. Didn't go through them all yet 
I just updated the skin, but when I go to skin settings I'm only seeing a blank (the pink-ish colour) screen, and nothing else. When I press 'down' on my remote some settings appear but I'm unable to see certain segments. When I press 'down' again then the screen is blank again, and when I press 'down' a third time a second setting screen appears (debug options).
Does this help at all?
Great!

I think with that fixed and perhaps a possibility to add widgets I will have found my new standard skin Wink.

BTW, something else I noticed. When browsing my TV Show library and opening a show, then a season and browsing through the episodes and eventually going back to the main library view (without having played an episode) sometimes the fanart background doesn't show up any more. Like, at all, even if I change the selection to another show. I have to reboot for it to be fixed.
But I guess that's something we can chalk up to the skin still being in development Smile.

But I absolutely love the look and feel of this skin!

@"QuizKid" I tried to update the skin (noticed on github you made some changes Smile), but I'm getting an error: ERROR: Failed to read 'zip://%2fstorage%2fdownloads%2fskin.copacetic-master.zip/skin.copacetic-master/addon.xml.
What am I doing wrong?

Might be under nested folder eg skin.copacetic-master/skin.copacetic-master . If so you'll need to unzip and rezip it to install through Kodi. Else unzip the contents directly to Kodi installation's add-on folder.

Yeah I thought that nested folder was the issue, so unzipped and rezipped but to no avail..

I updated with yesterday's GitHub version just fine through Kodi's install from zip do you still have trouble?

Not sure why it might not be working, I did the update same as always and it's working fine for me on two machines.

@"QuizKid" If I select another language than English, the text gets messed up, If you like I can send you a screenshot

Probably because I haven't localised the strings yet on account of changing so often the text during the design/early coding phase to make many of the labels as short as possible. I'll do this soon. Not sure what happens when you change the language if local versions of the strings aren't present for the language you selected. Should it revert to English?

yes, that could be the reason! No rush on this please! I have a well configured setup, and just switching skins if I have to do something like updating or so.
But honest, I don't know what happen if there is no strings in that language.. for me it just shows nothing on some pages of the skin settings (for example) and in the settings of Kodi the text is messed up (also the plot in the pause screen, for example)

can we translate it? If so, count me in for German! Just tell me how to do it Big Grin
is it just this file: https://github.com/realcopacetic/language/resource.language.en_gb/strings.po ?

Missing text may actually be to a change I made recently to some color strings that may have broken some labels. I'll check. It could also be if you are using the light theme, currently that results in black text on black boxes in some places that I haven't gotten to yet I think.

Yes, that would be much appreciated!!! I'll clean up the file first, to add in the new strings Copacetic is using and mark as obsolete the ones left over from prevous versions or the base conq skin so hopefully it will be a small job!!

Okay, I will try the light/night theme and will report back! But I think its from the beginning that some text is missing or distorting.

Yeah, that would be great, just let me know when I can start Smile I'am glad to help you! Smile

Updating with the latest version worked fine now, thanks!
However, I have to update via another skin because when I go to add-ons in the skin the screen is completely black.
Could have something to do with the way I set up my menu items, but there's als no way to change that in Copacetic's settings as the settings screen is still not fully working.
That's my only "complaint" at the moment Wink.

No that one's definitely my fault as I have the black screen too. I'm nearly there with designs for the various dialogs, then I can start going through and coding them
