RE: Arctic: Zephyr 2 - aeneas1 - 2020-06-20
had a chance to play around with a few files and seem to have scope view working pretty well, at least for 51_wall view, not interested in other layouts so i haven't checked them out, altho applying some of the edits i made to other layouts should be pretty straightforward... also, as far as zooming in/out poster/text sizes like plex, i was able to do it manually using the addon.xml file, by playing around with different scope resolutions, goofy resolutions, such as 2693x1150 which was a sweet spot for me.
there's no doubt a more elegant way to do this, but this was pretty quick and seems to work fine...
addon.xml

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.
You can use the "Basic" home screen layout to get that effect.
Hi, thanks for the reply. I do have that already set, but just get the changing background wallpaper.

RE: Arctic: Zephyr 2 - aeneas1 - 2020-06-20
quick question, on the home page is there a way to show a widget with multiple movie posters as the background or can only widgets that display fullscreen images or image backgrounds be displayed? i'd like to display some of the widgets that can be added to "ondown" to the background instead of just fullscreen images, hope this makes sense....

If you have items that have more than one fanart to show, then you'll need Skin Helper Service and Artwork Helper, and need to turn on "Extra Fanart" from the top menu in any library view. That will make the fanart backdrop cycle through any available fanart.
RE: Arctic: Zephyr 2 - leedrich - 2020-06-20
Hi, thanks for the reply.
I think I may have put my question wrong.
In Zephyr 1 - home screen you had a random movie image with a smaller thumbnail image 'spotlight' box on the front with the same image and a synopsis of the image/movie in the background.
In Zephyr 2 - home screen has the random movie image but no spotlight image box with the synopsis over the top.
Both versions have the same basic settings and the random movie image on the home screen.
I just need the setting to add the synopsis box for version 2.
Thanks

Ah, the plot box is not part of this skin. When a movie is showing, you can click "up" to see information about it, but I don't think plot is part of it.

Anyone else have problems with Background Widgets? Whatever I put as Background Widget it won't open.
If I am not mistaking Background Widgets should open by pressing UP on D-pad? Or they should appear as you focus on Home menu items?
Anyway, I can't make them work, from Default ones like Weather up to 3rd party Add-on's like AutoWidget.

Background widgets are... in the background. You don't have to "open" them.
RE: Arctic: Zephyr 2 - siliconhippy - 2020-06-24
1. Where are Skin config Backup Settings stored, eg under Kodi > userdata > addons_data> AZ2 or Kodi > addons> AZ2 ?
2. Is it possible to use these settings partially or mostly on any other skin, e.g., Mimic 6.x for Leia?
Cheers, great job !

RE: Arctic: Zephyr 2 - aeneas1 - 2020-06-24
scraped my extensive library using estuary because i find it easier to use for this process, then i switched to az2 only to discover that a lot of the artwork doesn't show up in az2, mostly artwork that's stored locally, for example poster jpgs that i've opted to use instead of the posters that were scraped... all of this artwork displays in estuary, how do i get to display in az2 as well without having to re-scrape the libraries while in az2? thanks!

You probably won't be able to use any of the settings with another skin. I did see somewhere that the skin shortcuts script does allow for the possibility of sharing those settings between skins, but both your old and new skin have to support that. Not sure if either AZ2 or Mimic do.
