Any way to limit amount of ratings shown? - Destroyer16 - 2023-10-09
Hi, I’m really loving arctic fuse, but one thing that bugs me is that I can’t limit the amount of ratings shown? I’d prefer not to see 4 different ratings and would love to be able to see just one. Is this already possible or is there a chance of adding this feature? Thanks!

Did you pull some of the other skins into this one? I'm seeing some of the same things but how you have added features with the old and how it integrated.
I don't see how you have time to make all these skins. I know from experience that skinning is very time consuming especially when you feel you're on to something.
Very nice skin.

Oh I never considered that people would want to have fewer than four. Yeah I could add an option to disable them without too much difficulty.
EDIT: Just added a "Clear" button to the side of the dialog to select the rating. Will be in next release.

Thanks!
Skin is built from AH2 which I wrote the code for from scratch -- but I definitely reused some artwork assets and ideas from my earlier skins.
Aura -> Horizon -> Arctic Zephyr 2 -> Arctic Horizon -> Arctic Horizon2 -> Arctic Fuse
Definitely a natural progression with these skins of mine. I'd say they are all in the same family but each with a new spin/evolution on the same ideas rather than something entirely new. I usually hit a point where I start feeling stuck but I don't want to break everyone's setup so I branch off and start something fresh to try my new ideas out.
The only skins of mine which I'd say are something entirely separate from the Arctic/Aura family are Eminence and Neue
And yeah skinning is very time consuming but it is my hobby and I enjoy it for the most part -- I do it instead of playing video games! Also after 10 years, I can code skins stuff pretty fast. Lots of SublimeText plugins to write code faster with multiline editing, plus I'm at the stage where I'll write scripts to make xml templates rather than write a lot of code -- but a lot of it is just experience.

Wow, that’s awesome! Thanks for doing that!

Yes skinning is fun when you get to see the results.

Is it possible to set poster wall view as default?
RE: Arctic Fuse - jurialmunkey - 2023-10-10
(2023-10-10, 07:10)CouchGuy Wrote: Is it possible to set poster wall view as default?
Not possible because it's not actually a real wall view.
Kodi doesn't have a fixed position wall, so I fake it by hiding the row by setting it to 0% opacity and then overlaying posters from each position in a wall layout and using some animation tricks to make it look like it is scrolling.
It's hard to explain but basically the wall doesn't scroll at all. It's just an illusion because when the row changes position, the posters displayed on screen update to the new position and a short slide animation creates the illusion of scrolling.
The best way I can describe it is like a person who is running on a treadmill with a screen showing a moving background will appear to be running forward.
Point being though is that the wall is not real so it can't be the "view" as it needs the row to work.
RE: Arctic Fuse - jurialmunkey - 2023-10-13
Just a heads-up. Next update brings some pretty significant under-the-hood changes to how lists functions.
I think this update should bring things more in line with how most Kodi users expect fixed lists to operate by allowing some degree of movement away from the fixed position towards the end of the list. It should also improve mouse and touch support considerably (I still won't say it is "supported" but it is definitely considerably more usable in a lot of areas). If a strictly fixed list position is preferred, that can still be achieved by enabling wrapping lists in skin settings.
Probably a lot of these changes seem fairly trivial from the front end (if I've done it well then it won't seem like much at all other than some navigation improvements) but the code changes underneath were a lot of work and are extensive, so things are liable to break. I've tried my best to test everything and not break existing features as much as I can, but if I have, I'm sorry, I can't test everything! Please report the bug/break and I'll do my best to resolve it.
RE: Arctic Fuse - CouchGuy - 2023-10-13
Here's what I've experienced in v0.3.0 update. I currently don't have access in my media player so I tried it in my android smartphone.
Here's what it looks like before the update.
And this is v0.3.0. The submenu is only showing 5 items. Also the default focus is set to the 2nd item in the lists.
But here's the problem. I trying to swipe to the left here and doesn't move anymore unless I swipe back to the right.
I love that I can now tap&hold to change the focus just like in AH2.
I'm trying to change the focus to "The Boys" here but it moved to the next poster
Before I can easily swipe from left to right in the categories and submenu but now I can't.
EDIT: Tap&Hold works only in the 1st 4 items in submenu & 1st 7 items in widgets. (You also need to tap&hold in between posters to be able to highlight the next item)
My English is now empty. Byeee 😅

Ok I get how Menu Categories & Submenu works on touchscreen devices. You can now easily tap to select or open or tap & hold to move the highlighted item.
Enabling the "wrap list" bring back to old touch navigation which is swiping left and right. Hoping that the tap and the tap & hold action also works.
