So if you take a look at the boba fett clear logo, you will see, what i mean. https://fanart.tv/series/393589/the-book-of-boba-fett/ Transparency about 155px on the left side.

The "top" you're looking for is in Includes_Home.xml under the include name "FullScreenInfoSub". You will need to match the condition of your particular home screen setup, i.e. in my case it was "Skin.HasSetting(homemenu.netflix) + Skin.HasSetting(home.widgets.show.reflections)" and I changed the top value from -790 to -835 when I had set my clearlogo size to 172. Keep in mind if you're using weather or system widgets, you'll need to change those tops as well if you want all of them to line up the same across different home screens. In addition, I also decreased the max height of the plot box "MultiWidgetsPlotLabel" to better fit with a larger clear logo so it was still keeping a reasonable space between the bottom of the plot and the top of the widget row.

Thank you! In the.xml dedicated to the viewtype I use to browse my library, the relevant line is very easy to find and adjust, but the includes_home.xml file is a lot more complicated. I got the viewtype exactly the way I wanted just now, but was about to give up on the homescreen until I saw your message. Ima try this right away. You're a legend, thanks again. RE: Arctic: Zephyr - Reloaded - djl0327 - 2022-01-15 Hey, first off I want to say this is a beautiful skin and has been just about everything I could have hoped for in my setup. However, there's one more thing that would make it perfect. I'm gonna preface this request by saying that I realize it would be an enormous undertaking and is probably impossible, but I guess you gotta dream big sometimes. I've made it a habit of ripping some of the BD main menus off select movies and TV shows. Many times I find them to be very well made, but have struggled to find some way to incorporate them into my Kodi setup. I'm thinking that maybe they can be incorporated into the infodialog screen somewhere, maybe a small window in the corner that can play while the user browses the cast listing, extended info, artwork, etc. The user would be providing the file themself, similar to how they could choose what plays at the splash screen. IMO it would be awesome to have this for movies to preserve the main menu feel of a BD/DVD disk and also to help give each TV season its own personality as you toggle through them. What do you think, can it be done? RE: Arctic: Zephyr - Reloaded - kalle2000 - 2022-01-15 Hi @beatmasterrs Is it possible to add an option for the home menu style "clean and minimal" that the width of the "textbox" can be edited? Right now its pretty small to the left hand side (e.g. many titles have to auto scroll) and there is plenty of space to the right hand side left.

There are certainly ways to do that, but the effort would be too great and in my opinion it would not fit the design language of the skin, sorry.

As little text as possible and as much of the background image as possible. Btw. the related lines, if you want to edit that by yourself are in Includes_Home.xml, Lines 3973-3975 Also the overlay needs some adjustments in that case.

Thanks so much again for this! These tips resulted in a layout I'm incredibly happy with. I used 204px for the clearlogo in both home and in view 521. The only thing that would make it even better is if I could find the line to adjust the spacing between the individual contents of the FulscreenInfoSub. I'd use it to slightly decrease the padding between the Clearlogo and the MultiwidgetsPlotLabel and make the overal spacing more consistent with my new layout. I'm still on the lookout for that line and learning more about the structure of the XMLs. I've learned a whole bunch so far. Thanks again! RE: Arctic: Zephyr - Reloaded - leschranz - 2022-01-15 Sorry, me again with another question... When I browse through my music collection I notice that no ratings are shown for albums although they have been correctly scraped from musicbrainz where available (checked directly in the database). I guess this is because the skin looks for the field userrating. That field usually is empty in my case and instead the field "rating" is filled by the scraper. Would it be possible to let the skin look for the generic rating field, either via a skin setting or by manually editing xml files? RE: Arctic: Zephyr - Reloaded - beatmasterrs - 2022-01-15 (2022-01-15, 21:09)leschranz Wrote: Sorry, me again with another question... You are welcome. When I implemented this back then, it was important for me to show the personal rating, because the normal rating had never worked for me. But sure, implementing a switch for that, should not be a problem. RE: Arctic: Zephyr - Reloaded - EraYaN - 2022-01-16 Would is be possible to add the https://github.com/xbmc/xbmc/blob/master/xbmc/GUIInfoManager.cpp#L560 Player.ChapterName to the OSD where the "Now playing..." is displayed for example? It's not on the wiki, but it's in the source so it is available. So I tried adding it as another option in the set of fade labels, it didn't really work, because when I used the up arrow to skip a chapter, it doesn't always show the chapter name and that is the point where it is most important. Do you have any pointers? I'd love to make you a PR, but I've never done any Kodi skin development before. Or maybe that is just the wrong place and it need to go below that text and always be there, but I'm not sure.

All labels in the fadelabel-control are played in sequence, regardless of whether the chapter is changed or not. RE: Arctic: Zephyr - Reloaded - beatmasterrs - 2022-01-16 Unfortunately, the current version 1.1.64 contains a small bug which only affects the autoclose function of the video osd. The bug has already been fixed on Github. The change will be included in the next update. Sorry for the inconvenience. |
