Nobody??[emoji848][emoji848]
I don't think people understood the question because you mentioned texture, I assume you meant text Smile If you want to view the whole plot the only way to do it I believe is to press UP on that screen.

So... cut off half the fanart? Big Grin

Skin Settings > Lists and Other > Set autoscroll and time per image.

I do remember trying out something like that but I think I ended up deciding it didn't look quite right.

I did as you wrote...:

Image

but the result is that the movie cards scroll, but the plot movie remains fixed..happens here:
Image

maybe it's my fault that I didn't explain myself well ..

but I would like this:

in the main section, here:
Image

and after, here:
Image

or here:

Image

as you can see red arrow, that the plot of the movie scroll down
this does not happen. sorry again

Ah looks to be a bug.

I forgot that I de-linked that setting from plot autoscroll. Problem is that I didn't remember to remove the condition from the plot box, so it was stuck on whatever the setting was previously with no way to change it.

Should be fixed on latest git version so that plot scrolls by default.


RE: Arctic Horizon - Kantana - 2020-10-02

This skin is amazing! You've outdone yourself yet again.

Though, I'm having some issues with the fullscreen widget. I might be doing something wrong, but I always get a big margin at the bottom, below the info and buttons. I assume this is meant to show any other widgets that are below this one, but I don't have any others selected for this screen.
This is what happens if I set the fullscreen widget as the only widget or if I just remove all widgets and just let the fallback fullscreen widget take over:

Image

The vignette also seems to be a lot tighter than in your screenshots, so it covers up more of the fanart. I'm guessing that's related to why the layout is compacted as well.

And if I do this, I get nothing:

Image

Image

I tried updating to 0.5.46 just in case, and this happens there as well.
Am I doing something wrong or is this a bug of some kind?

If you set no widgets at all in the widget group (not even fullscreen widget) then the skin will automatically use the fullscreen widget path (set in the dialog in your second image) but without the padding.

Definitely not my first choice of how to present the options - I can think of much better ways id prefer to lay them out to make it more intuitive. But unfortunately they have to be that way out of necessity to deal with some limitations in the skinning engine.

Yes, I imagined that was how it should work, but when I enable no widgets at all, I get the result you see in the first image (the fallback). If I don't enable any regular Home widgets and explicitly enable the fullscreen widget as in image #2, I get the result in image #3 (which also has the padding).


RE: Arctic Horizon - Logs22 - 2020-10-03

Hello, I've used the skin for a couple months now and have loved it! I'm having a slight issue right now though. My OMDB key is not working properly. I get the normal trakt and tmdbhelper ratings, but I don't get any other ratings. I have tried 2 different keys, both to no avail. This all happened after I deleted my thumbnail folder because my device ran out of space. Do you have nay idea why this would be happening?

No you need to set the widget that you want to use for the fullscreen widget in image 2 - e.g random movies.

In image 2 you were originally setting the path of the fullscreen widget to the fullscreen widget shortcut. That's just a place holder shortcut - it has no path hence empty widget.

What you were doing before is like trying to change your desktop background by choosing the Adobe Photoshop program shortcut as the background.


So in Widgets where you can set multiple widgets DELETE ALL. then in hub/fullscreen widget set the path that you want to use as the widget. Also make sure you have not set a background image for the menu.

NO widgets + NO background = Fullscreen widget.

Fullscreen widget uses the path set in the dialog in image 2. If nothing set there then it uses the global fall back.


RE: Arctic Horizon - sito1961 - 2020-10-03

@jurialmunkey

Three requests, in case you consider including them in your great skin.

1. Many movies and TV series do not have "clearart". For this reason, a zone with no content appears on the screen:
Could it be a "default" image covering that empty hole?
Could it be chosen by the user?

Image

2. Assuming your plugin "TheMovieDB Helper" supports it:
Could IMDB's TOP250 be added to the ratings?

Image

3. In the video information window when focusing on the actor / actress:
Could it be seen in a larger size?

Image

Thank you very much again for your great work.
Greetings.

Ohhhhh, I see. It's actually really logical, but it didn't click for me before. Okay, so now I've got all my home screen "hubs" set up with their own lovely full screen widgets, and I absolutely love it! Thank you so much! Big Grin
I've still got the padding at the bottom on that one screen, though. The Home Widget list is completely empty and I've set a widget on the Fullscreen Widget screen, and now it loads the widget correctly, but it's still got padding :\
