I also have a display issue, which might be a bug. If I'm in an info screen (movie info) for example, if I press the HOME (little house) button on the xbmc remote app, you are quickly taken to the main menu. The problem is the movie info screens stay on, which looks messy.

(4) can you make game logo's available in Arctic? In RCB you have to possibility to link the game logo as well.
(5) in the info screen you talk about 'author' and show the developer and publisher. Can you make this more clear and show both developer and publisher each in their seperate section on the info screen (instead of both in 'author').
(6) in the info view, only the publisher is shown, can you also add the developer? Maybe add this info as well in the info wall view?
(7) Some of the logo's and technical info of the movies are pretty small and hard to read (for example the mpeg2 codec logo,ratings...) and some info is missing (aspect ratio). Would it perhaps be possible to add this info in written word (not logo) in a third column in the info screen (next to the cast column).
(8) As mentioned before, to complete this section, please add the 4 extra thumbs as a seperate fanart screen in the info screen. When you press left now, you scroll to the fanart. Maybe you can make it that if you press right you scroll to a screen with the 4 smaller extra thumbs?

Both fixed in latest git.

The buffer has to be a greyish colour to accommodate both dark and light versions of the osd. However, I do see what you mean about the visibility on the light osd, so I've made the cache bar a little darker to improve visibility.

The VideoInfo showing on home is actually an xbmc bug (it happens for all skins) so it might be worth reporting to the xbmc team. However, I've figured out a work around by using Dialog.Close(all,force) as a Home.xml onload condition.

Font options are definitely planned for the future. There is just a fair bit of font clean-up that I need to do through-out the skin before I starting adding other font options.

1. Already aware of this, just haven't got around to doing it yet.

2. Is there any reasoning behind this, or is it just personal opinion? The thumbs are ordered according to how RCB supplies them -- it goes: upper-left, upper-right, lower-left, lower-right. Which usually is fanart, boxfront, cartridge, boxback. This order makes sense to me because it makes the cartridge and boxback art most accessible, which is generally what I want to examine more closely because I already know what the box front and fanart look like.

3. I'll fix this when I get a chance.

4. Can you give me a link to info on logos for rcb? The only art I see it able to add are fanart, boxfront, cartridge, boxback and video.

5. "Author" is just a pre-existing string I'm using as a placeholder until I have the screen finalised.

6. Yeah I will be changing info view to show developer in place of the console now that the console is available in the info tags.

7. I'm working on something regarding aspect and audio channels, just not happy with it yet. Not going to add another column to video info -- it just adds too much clutter to the screen and makes it harder to find the info I want to see. Most of that info isn't really that useful, it just serves a mild curiosity (bar perhaps audio channels, which I'm working on).

8. I will be adding it, just figuring out the best way to. Right side is reserved for the metadata actors script -- so it will be on the left side, most likely left then left again.

(2013-09-15, 13:07)Baswazz Wrote: (1) The problem i am facing is that you don't have set a static dark or light background, so the icons are not shown how it should.
For example: National Geographic channel logo does have a white text, and white text on a light/white background will blend in.

(2) Movieinfo screen: The text is sometimes hard to read with fanart which has light parts in it.

1. I prefer my logos to be clear rather than have a dark background added to them. This is something that should be up to the user. If you want dark backgrounds on your logos its not hard to modify them in gimp or photoshop to have a dark background layer.

2. You can change the transparency of the background fade by modifying the colour theme xml that corresponds to the colour theme you are using (e.g. "skin.arctic/colours/Dark.xml" for the Dark theme or "Defaults.xml" for the default theme etc.). The part you are looking for is this:

Code:

<color name="Mod_Overlay_Dimfanart">bbeeeeee</color>

The first two digits (the "bb" in this example) are the opacity of the background fade in hexadecimal -- increasing the value will increase the strength of the fade, so you could change it to something like "dd" increase how much the fanart is faded.

(2013-09-20, 16:53)st graveyard Wrote: (1) You could also use 'title' for the game title artwork and use screenshot, action or gameplay for ingame screenshots.
(2) it be cool if you go to the info view of a movie, then you press left and you go to the fanart screen and then you press up or down for the extra fanart? If I would press up or down in that screen, the season fanart is displayed.
(3) When I highlight a movie and press down, the disc art goes down (cool!!!). It would be if I press down again, the whole movie artwork goes down and only the fanart is visible.
(4) I just read in the AEON MQ5 thread that you now have the possibility to add movie themes to the movie section.
(5) Finally the home screen. When you are using your own set of backgrounds, in 'simple' mode the background is in full color, not in the soft arctic white, I think this is a bug.
(6) Also, the white bar in 'simple' mode at the bottom of the screen (the part containing the time on the right) is so empty and white. Is it possible to add something in here? The wheater or something?

So when i use dark text logo's i can't see the logo's on the dark part and vice versa.
I hope this makes clear what i mean.
