Sorry for the feature requests that might seem arrogant, but I think that these changes would add pluses to this skin without littering it with unnecessary details)
1) Is it possible to add blur depending on the fanart, like for example in the Arctic Horizon or the Arctic Zephyr Reload. I really like this feature) I think it would look nice) So that when entering the movie or tv shows  library, the colors change depending on the movie or tv shows (media content) Blush
2) Is it possible to add the ability to scroll through extrafanart in the information dialog box?) Now it is possible to see the plot, trailer. It's very beautiful and very convenient Smile But unfortunately there is no way to see the rest of the fanart(
3) Will full support for widgets from their sources ever be available?
 The only features that I would like to see in this beautiful skin!)
1) Thanks I'm glad you're enjoying it. I've thought about playing around with blur and colour changes as I like how @roidy uses it in GTV, but I wasn't sure if this would slow down the skin as I think it's dependent on some fairly heavy processing by scripts in the background? I'll certainly investigate it but would probably only use it sparingly. The thing I was thinking would be nice would be to change the colour of the flags based on the fanart or something like that.

2) I don't use extrafanart myself so hadn't really given much thought to it. When is it most often supported and how does it tend to work? Can you point me in the direction of any skins that have good extrafanart implementation so I can check it out? Does it tend to be used just on info dialogs, or does it work like a slideshow in place of static artwork in the main views? Potentially the latter could be doable without too much new code.

3) Can you elaborate on this one. Do you mean being able to create your own widgets? Again, as I'm not really a developer, I'd need to look at some other implementations to understand how it works so please let me know of any good example skins you know about for supporting widgets from their sources.

Thank you so much for such a quick response Smile
As for the blur, I think it would give your work new colors to play Smile I don't even know about slowing down.., I used skins with the possibility of blurring and they didn't seem to slow down the speed a little..) I will hope for a miracle that maybe it is possible to add this function as you should like it Blush

Unfortunately, I almost don't understand how skins work at all (But I can tell, that I really like the work of beatmasterrs and jurialmunkey!) In Arctic Horizon, it is possible to scroll through extrafanart directly in the information window) And in Arctic Zephyr-Reload, it is possible to see almost 20 backgrounds (extrafanarts) with the possibility of blurring on the left and, accordingly, on the right of the background itself (fanart) I really like it!) If you write that it is potentially possible to make it possible to have a slideshow in the main views and that would be exactly what I would really like Smile But in general, it is these two skins (Arctic Horizon, Arctyc Zephyr-Reload and another Swan skin) They have good extrafanart implementation!
As for widgets, I used a lot of skins Smile And they all have a very good possibility of adding widgets to the home screen with the ability to add your own source paths..) Unfortunately, I do not know how this is done, if I understood this, I would really like to help you so that this opportunity could be given!( Sad

Never thought I would fall in love with a skin but here I am. Incredible work and excellent font/aesthetic choices. Just a quick question though! How did you achieve the "Sound of Metal" look on the Imgur album in movie browsing? It looks amazing and I prefer to have a simple look since I know most of the movies that I am browsing. Also, would it be possible to implement OMDB ratings like Rotten Tomatoes and Metacritic on the row where the studio logo and MPAA rating are found?

Thanks so much for the great work QuizKid and Hitcher!

Thanks, appreciate the feedback!

It's billboard view with the view options configured like so:
Details: Title
Logos: Enabled
Flags: Disabled

The other custom part is that the clearlogo is aligned to the bottom-left rather than centered.

By default it uses a standard clearlogo file but if you have one called clearlogo-aligned.png, it will use that instead in this view configuration.

The skin works fine with a minimum of poster and fanart and a clearlogo if you have one. But for the full effect of the skin the extra artworks supported are:

keyart.jpg
square.jpg
clearlogo.png
clearlogo-aligned.png
clearlogo-alt.png
clearlogo-alt-aligned.png
clearlogo-billboard.png

- clearlogo-alt.png is for use of a dark clearlogo on light backgrounds instead of relying on the light logo with dropshadow

- clearlogo-aligned.png is used when the clearlogo is displayed with info or plot details to make sure it aligns properly)

- clearlogo-alt-aligned.png - same as above but for light views where you want to use a dark logo

- clearlogo-billboard.png if, for example, you want a simpler logo or white color logo on the billboard view where it sits on top of the artwork.

*Remember to have custom artwork you should whitelist it in the video settings for each content type (movies, tv shows, sets, artists) so Kodi knows to scrape it, otherwise you can manually add the art types in the choose art screen by typing clearlogo-aligned or whichever one you're using.

Here you can see my sound of metal artwork as an example: https://1drv.ms/f/s!AsNBJgb3zz70gulx9n7QJsNd55esrg

Maybe it's an idea to put the number of unwatched episodes in the place of the circle? Or next to the prpgressbar?

This is by far my favorite Kodi theme ever released. What a fantastic job!

Thanks, glad you like it. It's still just in alpha though, will hopefully be more polished and feature complete soon

From all the skins out there is one is unique and different I really like this one. it's the best one out there love the fanart and clear logo ..but just one thought* is there a way to bright it up a little on the home screen it seems a little too dim ..?? But either then that its perfect.. Blush

Thanks! It's an easy change. I'm happy myself with where it is currently, but I can probably add some custom options to skin settings to change the transparency


RE: Copacetic: A new skin from QuizKid and Hitcher - Launcher - 2022-06-04

That will be amazing thank you and thank you for your hard work and making it possible for us to enjoy your beautiful skin keep up the amazing ideas..😊


RE: Copacetic: A new skin from QuizKid and Hitcher - Criddler23 - 2022-06-04

Can you use pvr with this skin?.Apologies if it’s been asked before


RE: Copacetic: A new skin from QuizKid and Hitcher - Launcher - 2022-06-04

Hey is there anyway to enable and disable the time on the home screen.? If not that can be an idea for you also so people can have that option 2 ..

Sure I'll add it to skin settings as an option. Someone who likes things even more minimal than me Smile

PVR is not a definite no, but I dont have a setup to test it so it's definitely at the bottom of the list for now, sorry. I know it's a dealbreaker for people who use pvr so I would like to do it one day, but no idea when that would be right now
