I discovered AZ2 for a few days and I find it really promising.
Is there a chance that the skin will be responsive for 21/9 screens like Estuary ?
I was previously on Aeon Nox, then Titan, then Estuary Mod, but I think the final AZ2 version will meet my expectations even more. I have some difficulties to display 3D flag.
My files are named the same way from Kodi Helix and I have never had this problem before :

moviename.year.bluray.3d.1080.dts.5.1.mkv

Some aesthetic suggestions :
1. replace the vertical bar separating the information with a bullet (this would be more in line with the general design and the rounded corners)
2. have the possibility of removing the name of the covers on the wall views since it is already displayed on the cover itself, but also in the title of the selected film.
3. Placing the tagline just above the synopsis in the information seems more logical to me
4. review flags, views and informations for Advanced Emulator Launcher which deserves better integration.

Congratulations for all the work accomplished.

@myghalloween there isn't a release download yet for 0.9.58, but the latest code has a bunch of fixes for Advanced Emulator Launcher.

Because Fuse.Neue didn't work with the newest Kodi version I changed to Arctic: Zephyr 2.

I just wanted to express my thanks to the creator.

I tweaked the MusicOSD a bit to make it look like Fuse.Neue and added mp3-tags (year, album, track and genre). And the next song that will be played.

Image

Just one question. Can I change the way the lyrics are shown? Instead of one multi-coloured line I would like to see multiple lines with the relevant one highlighted. In a transparent frame. I've seen lyrics like that in other skins. It would be cool if we can choose the way the lyrics are shown from within the settings of the skin. But a tip how (and in which files) to change this would also be welcome.

Hello... You can do that with the lyrics just by disabling the 'video lyrics' option inside the skin settings menu; no need to change any files or code... Wink

Just wondering; how did you add the mp3 tag info to the MusicOSD? Would it be possible for you to share the code here? Thanks...     
Thanks for the tip. I feel a bit foolish now... ; )

I tweaked the Includes_OSD.xml (instead of MusicOSD).
Here is the code:

       </control>
     </control>

I also changed <width> and <height> to 300 in OSD_Music_Info_Image_Square for a slightly bigger album cover which is a 'high' as the title (year) information.

And I had to shift the lyrics up to stay clear of the tag information.
In script-cu-lrclyrics-main.xml under control type="group"
      <top>150</top>
      <bottom>300</bottom>  

That's OK; Thanks for the code; will try it out and see... Wink

Where? The latest version I see on Github is 0.9.55-alpha3. 
The best way to get it is through the addon repo. Also allows easy management of dependencies as well. I missed that myself as well. Been downloading github zip exports and renaming them for too long.

REQUEST: Add Show the "See More" widget item
As in AURA
Thank You


RE: Arctic: Zephyr 2 - carlog - 2020-02-04

Thank you for this amazing skin.  Is there a way to add the "info screen" that you see while watching live TV, from Aura into AZ2?  That would be amazing.

Thanks.

Hi,
I'm on 0.9.58 since I installed AZ2 by repository.
Yes probably a lot of fixes, but no perfect view for covers like N64, SNES ("horizontal" format) or arcade thumbs icons...
See below

So simple! Thank you!


RE: Arctic: Zephyr 2 - karlito31 - 2020-02-08

Hi.
Of all the skins I've tried, the one I like the most is Artic Zephyr 2. What I'm interested in is probably quite trivial, but, I'm a total beginner in this whole Kodi story, so, please have understanding and patience with me Smile

1. Is it possible for the vertical ( on the left) main menu to always be present (without slide in - out animation) and how to achieve this?
2. Is it possible to get extended information when focusing on one of the posters if you have multiple widgets on the home screen, as in the "wall info" view?

Thank you.


RE: Arctic: Zephyr 2 - mxlance - 2020-02-08

@karlito31 
As far as I am aware, both questions the answer is No.
My advice is to learn what the skin can do an adapt to it.
This is an Alpha so things my change in the future.

I have used Aura form its start and am trying AZ2 and find that what i lose, AZ2 gives me another way to do what i want.
Good luck using and setting up Kodi.
This forum is a wealth of information and most here are more than willing to help you to get the most from your Kodi experience.
​​​​​​​Hope this helps

OK, it's working now. I've spent weeks trying to sort that but I deleted and recreated the widget and now it works. I have a further question, on episode widgets, is it possible to have the season and episode number on the label? Thanks!    

Already does for me:

RE: Arctic: Zephyr 2 - JSAKelley - 2020-02-10

Having issues with missing episode landscape art. Using Artwork Beef and no other skin has an issue showing me episode landscape art.

This is the only thing preventing me from using AZ2. Any suggestions?
