EDIT: Nevermind, I just logged into Spotify web player and see what you mean (I'm so used to using Spotify on my phone that I forgot what the web player looks like).

EDIT2: Looks pretty good!

Love it. Would be nice to be included in the final skin.

Alright, how about making the selected season text bolt? Yep seems already neat then Smile Would also be cool of we could switch season from the list by pressing right and left

The examples of the flipped media info are way better in my opinion Smile Really great Smile

Ah, I see. Yeah I tried something like that initially, the problem is that it looks weird if you don't have a show with 6+ seasons to fill the top row. The episode list will fill the width, but the posters don't.

I'll have a play with bolding the text and see how it turns out.
Already have the pressing left/right to change season covered Wink

Yeah, I'm warming to the flipped media info views. I'm going to try and see if I can get an animation working where the tvshow level slides out to the left and the seasons level slides in from the right.

Definitely will be keeping it in as an option. Works really well in the actors section of the library too.

I can not explain why but I prefer the list on the left.
Fovorite views for me.

Love your work, can't wait for AZ2


RE: Arctic: Zephyr 2 - sasquatchjaques - 2019-02-24

The circular view for artists looks mint would definitely recommended this staying in final version

Dunno how feasible it is but is it possible to grey out or "blanket tint" artist pictures and only make the selected colorful? I feel it would add to the color scheme of the skin. Just a suggestion/question.


RE: Arctic: Zephyr 2 - User 426612 - 2019-02-24

Could you add the end time of selected media item in the bottom line below the plot where airing date, studio and duration are?

That’s something I miss in A:Z.
I would like to see end time while browsing my media.


RE: Arctic: Zephyr 2 - 91design - 2019-02-24

Maybe you could add a view similar to the custom one I made for Aura

Yeah I agree. I think its because we read left-to-right and top-to-bottom, so the view flows better with our instinct for our eyes to start in the top left and move to bottom right.

Definitely possible. I did this in the original Arctic (before AZ) for wall and poster views.

Would it be for all views or only artists?

It's kind of automated. If you create a folder on your hard-drive containing a collection of smart-playlists, then you can point the custom hub window to the folder and it will auto-fill.

For instance, here is the extras/playlists folder of smart playlists which I ship with skins as default widget options:

 It is kind of what i have done... i have done recent, in progress, actors, directors, countries, year, studios, collections, etc. smart playlists for each my specific folders: movies, anime movies, short movies, anime short movies, medium movies, anime medium movies, documentaries... for series, recent episodes, etc. for my series and anime series folder.

I have created my hubs with not the default playlists because it aggregates all movies or series but created the hubs and widgets with "my default playlists" for each specific folder which are the same type of content, just the creation of those playlists automated would be nice, because i have more than 20 smartplaylists created.

other thing i have noticed, on eminence i have hubs, on zephyr i didnt created any, when i revert to eminence, my hubs disappear, if i change from one to another i loose all my previous configuration on any of the skins.

sorry if i use wrong namming of things.

(and you dont have enough hubs eheheh).

nice movies and music by the way

The way I'm handling hubs here means that you can create as many hubs as you want - either create a hub from the submenu with a set widget, or create a dynamic custom hub built from a library node or folder of playlists with a widget that changes depending on what item is focused.

Regarding keeping settings - skinshortcuts shares configs across skins, so changes in one skin should carry to others (I can't remember if hub config carry across because those are custom lists).

If shortcut settings are not carrying across skins, then your skin shortcuts config might be corrupt and you will need to delete its addon_data folder from the userdata folder.

I'd say for artists only since the colorfulness of a rectangular movie poster wall is refreshing but the circular spots don't work that nicely since they reveal more background in between, IMHO.
