Been using this skin for a few years now and while I love it, its started to feel stale.
I really like some of the elements you have in Aura, like the color gradients and the play screen look (would still like to see the time > time ended in the right )

Any chance well see a Zephyr v2 with some tweaks?

Highly unlikely. I haven't used this skin in years, so I'm not very motivated to spend time working on new features for it.

May I ask, what do you find missing from Aura that is in Arctic?  

 @jurialmunkey any chance to see an Arctic Zephyr for Kodi 18 at all?

I appreciate that people really love Arctic (and Eminence), so I do plan to keep both up-to-date and working with new Kodi releases. I used both of these skins as my daily drivers for a very long time. However, the fact of the matter is that I simply do not have time to add new features to skins which I no longer use daily. I really only have time to work on one skin, and the skin that I use daily is Aura, so that is the skin that I spend my skinning time on. I really appreciate people taking the time to give feedback, and will look at incorporating some of it into Aura.

@Nervosa
- I have added a monochrome flag option to Aura. It is in Skin Settings > Library (you have to scroll to see the setting).
- I have been considering how to make an optional simpler home screen and you have given me a few ideas. Absolutely no ETA on this, but your feedback has been very useful.

@joro_abv
- I agree with you that the Big Poster view in Arctic is nicer. The equivalent view in Aura is definitely a weak spot in that skin which I've tried many times to address and haven't really found a solution to yet.
- By "media labels" are you referring to the audio/video info (e.g. resolution, audio channels, codec etc.)?
- Aura will eventually have a light theme.
- I am trying to maintain a distinct theme/personality for Aura, but your comments about what you like in Arctic have provided some great feedback and things for me to think about, so thankyou!

It is perfect in every way - colors, arrangement of the information (posters, plot etc.), media labels, the clock/date ... everything, and I miss it a lot. Especially the media labels/rating, which are the best I've seen overall and I've tried almost every Kodi skin that matters.
