RE: Arctic: Zephyr - username145 - 2015-02-16

Tiny suggestion, feel free to ignore:

The progress bars in the PVR windows are inconsistent with the rest of the skin, being (very) short and curved. Compared to eg. the volume meter or seek bars which are long and rectangular, it just looks out of place IMO

An option to disable the little preview window in the PVR channel window would be great, or maybe have it automatically disabled when background video is enabled

Other than that, looks and runs wonderfully!

Edit: Any chance of horizontal sub-menus? Always expecting horizontal drawer submenus from horizontal menus, likewise with vertical

P.S.- the hubs look great. Can they be customised yet?
Yes I do plan on adding next aired info (and hopefully a widget too)

Latest git hubs can be customised. You will have to delete the old hub item from the mainmenu then re-add it. Then in the customisation window select the hub item and "submenu" will change to "hub items" and you can click that to modify/add etc. the hub items. I'm still trying to figure out a way I can point to skin icon folder so you might have to put your icons in another folder in order to be able to browse to them.

All good suggestions and possibly yes on all fronts. I like the idea of disabling the preview window if show in background is enabled - opens it up for bigger view of the plot etc.
I'm not 100% sure on changing the progress bars - it depends on what I come up with.
I would like to have horizontal menus as an option and I think I have an idea about how to do them -- it depends on whether it works as well as I think it would - it would help with navigation too because you could press up once for submenu and again for the widget.

Hope i will see a Wall (only Poster) view and an option to disable Header (not only Home) and Footer (Clock/Mediainfos etc) for max Minimalism Smile

Best regards

Thx!
Furniture options added.
Definitely will have a poster only wall - just having a few spacing issues that I'm trying to decide which way to go with.

Wow, nice, ty Big Grin
  • When you disable the Clock in the "Furniture" could you make the Home Menu 100% width or centered?
  • Oh and in the View: Wide, the FileName (not yet scrapped) dont seem to show up. (see Screenshot)

Anyone notice Rss feeds not working?

RE: Arctic: Zephyr - Japaja - 2015-02-16

Thumbs up for this skin. :-)


RE: Arctic: Zephyr - distorted1 - 2015-02-16

This skin is bonkers! Keep up the good work.


RE: Arctic: Zephyr - cruten87 - 2015-02-16

Hi Jurial,

Thanks a lot for sharing this awesome skin.

One slight issue I seem to be experiencing but not sure if it's more to do with my setup. When I go to pause or fast forward/ rewind a movie I seem to experience a slight stutter in the screen while the menu pops up. Not sure if anybody else is experiencing this?

I'm currently using this on my fire tv.
Thanks,
Natalie


RE: Arctic: Zephyr - Littletycoon - 2015-02-16

Is it possible tot include audio bitrate on the osd during music playback? It's just to show off my hi res audio albums, but still.


RE: Arctic: Zephyr - DerGary1991 - 2015-02-17

Tried a White Transparent Theme with Green Color but the text is a bit hard to read i think.

But i really like the green color looks especially great with the dark version Big Grin

Hadn't added them. Fixed. Can disable in Appearance Settings

Might be system specific. I'm expecting a little bit better performance once the skin goes on the official repo and the textures get compressed into an xbt.

I'm not really sure where I would put it as the place used on video osd for codec info is taken up by the star rating... plus I find it a little unnecessary.

Looks good, but yeah, I think the text is a little hard to read.

Thanks

Yeeeees, thanks!


RE: Arctic: Zephyr - hoopsdavis - 2015-02-17

Jurial, one other thing. Are you planning to add the popup for recordings? (Series recordings, not just one time recordings)
