I'm new to this kodi stuff and it's been quite the journey to set up everything and, another ordeal find a skin I liked. As a designer myself I love the simplicity but the power of Zephyr 2 but I've been left with a problem.

I use kodi on a NNvidia ShieldTV Pro (2019 model) with PlexKodiConnect, just in case that matters.

The problem I have is, while playing a video and with the controls on screen (the play, puse, forward, info, etc buttons) on the pause menu (wether by clicking pause or the ok buton) I can't tell which button I'm on. I mean, there's no highlighting on the buttons. So, If I press pause and I want to go to stop, or info, or subtitles, I have to count the clicks on the dpad to guess which button I'm on. Don't know if that makes sense. With every other skin I've tried you have some kind of marker, either a color change, or a circle or something that tells you which button you're about to press, in Artic: Zephyr 2 they're all white for me with no indicators.

I know it's a very specific problem but kind of a big one for me and I was surprised no one mentioned it so it's either by design or a problem on my end I guess?

Thank you in advance

They definitely should be highlighted with the highlight colour. Check skin settings and make sure you haven't set the highlight colour to white.

Arctic Zephyr Leia Mod is a modded version of the original Arctic Zephyr in order to make it work with Leia. AZ2 is not.

wait, so az2 isn't designed to work with leia? i installed az2 last night and it seems to be working fine with leia? then again i haven't used it extensively with leia yet...

not sure i'm familiar with the "power menu"? anyway, i have a keymap.xml file in the following directory:

c:\users\NAME\appdata\roaming\kodi\userdata\keymaps\keymap.xml

and have tried these two entries, no love with either....

<keymap>
    <global>
        <keyboard>
             <F5>XBMC.ReloadSkin()</F5>
         </keyboard>
    </global>
</keymap> 

and

<keymap>
    <global>
        <keyboard>
             <F5>ReloadSkin()</F5>
         </keyboard>
    </global>
</keymap> 

do i need to clear kodi's cache? i don't think i've ever done this before... is there a system setting within kodi that enables/disables reload? could f5 be bound to another shortcut from another program that i'm not aware of?

fwiw, when i hit f5 kodi/az2 does seem to try to refresh, the screen flashes, but any changes i make to xml files don't appear, i have to close kodi and relaunch it to see the effect of any edits...

I just tested the first keymap you posted & it works, I assume you're using a PC with F5 key. Maybe it's the particular xml file you are changing which needs a restart.

in other news, does kodi (or az2) have the ability to globally resize skin content? for example plex has a slider that scales poster size in the wall view, from large to small... i tried the zoom option in settings but it doesn't really do the trick.

Apologies if I haven't seen the answer for this.  Is there a way for the home screen to have to small 'spot light' image/info to match the background like in zephyr 1?


Home Screen

Many many thanks.
