No sorry. Multiple font sets are too much work to get working without issues. I'll leave big font versions up to modders. 
Understandable. Looking forward to AZ2!

RE: Arctic: Zephyr 2 - sasquatchjaques - 2019-02-27

Both themes look great / any chance you can add an option to adjust fan art fade for background ? I like it more visable (personal preference) so adjusted it manually in first arctic, just wondered if you could set something up in skin settings to adjust it automatically for ppl (eg opacity 0 / 25 / 50 / 75 /100%) ? It’s cool if not I can always change it manually 👍🏻

Thanks for redevelopment of this much loved skin

Hello all

Some questions for this lovely theme we are waiting for :
  • What about weather widget ? Something is planed ?
  • Would it be possible to have colored icons (for movies : x264, sound format...) ?
As you can see, very important things Smile

Thank you for your job


RE: Arctic: Zephyr 2 - NeroBoron - 2019-02-27

Excellent, I just love it Smile

A bit minor feedback:

In the media view (screenshot #2) you could display the clearlogo within the fanart. Just like in the fanart view (screenshot #4)
But wouldn't do that in screenshot #3 due to the poster to the left.

I would appreciate an increased front size for the now playing line so that it matches the font size of the clock.
Same goes for the line below the description in screenshot #2 and #3. I just send those pics to my tv and it's a bit to small for me or i just need a bigger screen Big Grin

Edit:
I think I would also like to have the watched marker in lists either in the front or the end of the row. But not somewhere in between.

Okay and a major point:
In #5 and #6 you could separate the selection from the details more. So tha tin the upper half are only the posters and in the lower half the details. Currently if you want to check all details the eyes have to jump from the upper third to the lower third, due to the selection being in-between.
Like in the standard skin:

PS: you really have to much in progress movies, you should take a break and watch them to the end Big Grin Big Grin Wink

I think if, in the 5th view, the ratings would be above the plot , it would look better.

1. Yep, definitely add the clearlogo for that one. I just forgot to do it Wink
2. Font can be fairly easily tweaked in the font definition file. TVs vary in size so much these days, which makes font sizing tricky - so I just base it off my TV. Though I do agree those ones are a bit on the too small side of things, so I might bump them up a size.
3. I went with the same list layout as in AZ1 because it gives a lot of options - but I have been debating about whether to move the watched indicators, so it might still change.
4. I was playing with something a little closer to the view in Estuary (see below). I've been flipping between the two, and I definitely agree with you for the bigger poster view. However, for the showcase view (the smaller horizontal view), I actually really like having at least one view that puts artwork in the center of the screen without being a wall view. I find I use the titles when scrolling fast to something specific, and the poster with plot when I'm just browsing.
5. Hahaha. I've actually watched all these. It's just because I'll start playing a random movie to test out something, so I end up with a ton of in-progress movies. That's only on my laptop though - the loungeroom setup is much more organised!

No coloured icons. Only monochrome.

Yeah, I think that's going to be a manual add sort of thing - I'm trying to keep the skin settings as simple as possible.

I tried it, but I didn't like it as much.

It only took me forever to finally settle on how to do the info dialog buttons! I had to rejig the movement so that you scroll vertically (rather than horizontally) to see the cast etc.

Damn it, I saw your screenshots and thought to myself "this is fucking awesome!", and now I can't get "Thrift shop" our of my head...

2 alright, always a matter of size and distance. It only looks like that every corner Item ist bigger then the now playing text. So I found it a bit off
3 yea I know was already wondering there ;P I see those list views as a to-do list sometimes and on a paper I would make checks at the end or in front of there are boxes.
4 it looks really appealing with centered horizontal list, just wanted to notice that it can be an issue Wink the attached other version looks great as well Smile
5 thought so Tongue


RE: Arctic: Zephyr 2 - allard1992 - 2019-02-27

Looks amazing. I use dark right now on Arctic Zephyr. This new version looks way better and I love the new dark tint. It is less gray and darker and more tranclucent .
