When you select that, you get a dialog with the choices. The choices are: None, Clear Logo, Clear Art, Disc Art and Character Art.
This is what it looks like, in Low List with Disc Art:
And with Clear Art:
This works across all media types, with fallbacks for artwork that is not present. For example, if you select Character Art (which is only available for tv shows), the fallbacks work as follows: Character Art -> Clear Art -> Logo -> None.
Please test and let me know if this is what you were looking for. Thanks.

Looks great, just what I was after
Oddly enough, when I quickly tried to check it out, downloaded the zip file and installed, movie folder and add on menu are black screened. Only way to get it working again is to swap skins and from there "update" Amber to 113 from the repo.
I may have done something in the settings or so, will investigate later today.

Hi @Filmbuff , my screen also went black for 5-10 seconds (LibreElec Matrix install) after installing the Amber update, but then everything reappeared; possibly it was updating something in the background.

Good shout, tried that, screen goes black as soon as the update starts, 5 seconds later I get the update successful message, then just all black until I hit the back button. Main menu and everything builds fine, just movies and tv shows menus are inaccessible, as is anything to do with add-on menu, all settings are left as they are from a working 113.
This happens on Android/Shield and UWP 10, Kodi 18.9.
RE: Amber for Leia/Matrix - TheRealDeadMan - 2020-12-08
Hi @bsoriano, thanks for all the recent updates.
This is more an FYI for anyone else on Matrix who might want to adjust colours.
I started looking into some of my missing dependencies... Maybe it's just my setup, but I think it's just part of the general Matrix testing we are doing.
Colorpicker was always showing as Enabled, but would never work, so I downloaded a version from the repo, and installed that. After I installed, it started to work perfectly, but still shows the same version number as before. (link to Matrix repo directory script.skin.helper.colorpicker)
From what I gather, it is linked to the service.skin.helper addon package. There seems to be a few issues installing that on Matrix right now, so it is not updating parts of the package. Parts are still pointing towards an older version of beautifulsoup3, which will not work with Matrix. We are able to download the newer script.module.beautifulsoup4 and install it, but there are still a couple items from the skin.helper package that will not install.
Maybe other Amber/Matrix users will find this helpful

Is there a problem with the Amber repository ?
Thank you for the list of terms to translate into French. I haven't had time yet but I will do it as soon as I can.

It's weird because until now, the updates were done correctly.

(2020-12-08, 21:12)TheRealDeadMan Wrote: Hi @bsoriano, thanks for all the recent updates.@TheRealDeadMan , thanks for the info, most useful. I am planning on looking into ways of doing the color settings without using the colorpicker script, and I will replace the use of skinbackup addon with the xbmc backup addon, which is working well for Matrix. After that, Amber will not depend on any skin helper service items anymore.

RE: Amber for Leia/Matrix - bsoriano - 2020-12-09
Hello all,
In my previous post when I mentioned that I had uploaded versions 3.2.114 and 3.4.5, I did the uploads to GitHub, but missed completing them to the Amber repos. I have corrected that mistake now, so version 3.2.114 is in the Amber repo for Leia, and version 3.4.5 is in the Amber repo for Matrix. My apologies for the incorrect information before.
Regards,
Bart
