Please let me know, since it might be a letter casing issue if you are using any version of Linux (LibreELEC, CoreELEC, etc.) or Android.  Thanks.

no problem. thank YOU!!! now that the dim is working i just noticed one more thing. 

i'll best show you: in the screenshot i'm in file view, fanart, dimmed and i am using some folder images with transparent backgrounds. now as you see the highlighted folder has the transparent background as intended but the other folders to the left and the right have this dark square around them. as soon as i highlight them the dark square becomes transparent.




this only happens when i use the dim. if the dim is on 0% all the images are tranparent:




anything that can be done here to make them transparent if the dim is active?

@billyrene , the way I implemented the dim was to overlay an image on top of the item, and that image is darkened according to the dim level selected.  I understand how it does not look good for items which are not movies, tv shows, etc.  I will change it so that the dim is only applied to media items.  I will include this in the next skin update.

Bart

I have uploaded versions 3.2.112 (Leia) and 3.4.3 (Matrix) to GitHub and the Amber repos.

Thank you @bsoriano for this update and these new features for the Fanart view.

Terms to translate :
Here are the terms that remain to be translated into French (terms framed in red) :

- Netflix style : Style Netflix
- Show logo : Afficher le logo
- Use landscape : Utiliser le paysage
- Dim level for unfocused : Niveau d'assombrissement pour les éléments non ciblés

- Select dim level : Niveau d'assombrissement

When Netflix style is on, info display on the fanart and there is a term to translate :

- Ends at : Fin à

Error message with TheMovieDB Helper :
I don't know if it's related to this update but I noticed a bug.
On a TV Show or an episode, with the title that has accented characters, when I press the info key to display the video info window for that episode, I get an error message from TheMovieDB Helper but the window is displayed correctly.
I have TheMovieDB Helper 2.4.36 installed from the official Kodi repository.

I didn't get this error message when displaying the video info window of a movie for example.
This problem does not occur with the Estuary skin.

It reminds me of a similar issue with Embuary Helper Script that was fixed with an update :
https://forum.kodi.tv/showthread.php?tid=342130&pid=2922264#pid2922264

Scrolling text :
Another thing I noticed, in the Kodi settings, when the text exceeds the width of a column it will scroll so that it can read all the text.
Some terms remain fixed and are therefore cut.
In the Interface section :


In the Recorder/TV section :


In the System section :


In the other sections, such as in Amber's settings or in the view modes for example, the text scrolls correctly.
Is it possible to correct this problem so that the text scrolls again ?

@Cyberdom , thanks for your feedback.  The updated translations will be in the next skin update.  As for the scrolling labels in settings, I do not control each one from the skin (except in the Skin Settings), Kodi does.  What I will do is make the default font that is shown in settings a little smaller, which, from my tests, makes it so that none of the labels that you pointed out scroll in French.  That change will also be in the next skin update.

In terms of tmdb helper, my only recommendation would be to update the addon to a newer version, and to keep it updated using jurialmunkey's repo.

Regards,

Bart

Great work on the skin. However, the font size set as default is way too small for us older folks. Would it be possible to add the option to use from font16 to at least font18? If not, I can just keep those previous files and replace them each time there is an update to the skin.

Regards,

Shedrock

@shedrock, I think that is a great idea. I will see what I need to do to have the default font be configurable. You don't mind that labels scroll if the font is big? Please let me know. Thanks.

Thanks @bsoriano, the translations look correct.

I saw indeed that you had reduced the size of the text in the parameters, but like @shedrock, I find the new text size a bit too small. Terms that were problematic are no longer broken.
However, I saw that it also decreases the size of the text that is below the posters in the fanart view.
Would it be possible for this text under the posters to change the size we had before or slightly increase the new one ?

As far as TheMovieDB Helper goes, the weird thing is that this problem only occurs with TV shows and not with movies.

I also find it interesting to have a function to be able to choose the size of the text.
