RE: Arctic: Zephyr 2 - starkman - 2019-03-17

Wow, what a beautiful skin !
I've just installed it and it looks great.

I'm having an issue, though, one that seems weird. If I click on "Movies" and "TV Shows" main menu items, nothing happens.
All the other menu items seem to work fine.
I'm coming from Eminence 2.0 and within the skin settings, the actions are the following (maybe this is what I have to change ? )

- Movies: ActivateWindow(1101)
- TV Series: ActivateWindow(1102)

EDIT: I found the solution - it seems that these hubs (1101 and 1102) do not work on AZ as they work on Eminence. Selecting the default action for Movies and TV Shows works ok.

Thanks again.
Keep up the good work @jurialmunkey !

Great looking skin! Thanks jurialmunkey.
A few things I noticed:
Some of the posters in poster view have a small purple or green line on the right side.
The subtitle selection notification is missing
No trailer button in info

Firstly, is it possible to change the aspect of the widgets when using a single widget horizontal menu?

Secondly, is there an option to control the font of the home menu layout? Currently when moving around between items they all move around due to the highlighted option turning bold, would be nice if there was a way to make them retain their position.

Other than that I’m absolutely loving it so far, running perfectly on a Shield, and it may just be my eagerness but it also seems a hell of a lot quicker too

1. Why? The widget is a fullscreen view. What would changing the aspect do?
2. I'm trying to solve this issue.

Good to hear that it is running quick. I've tried my best to keep the code as clean as possible.  
  
Just in regards the home menu font/layout, this seems to be similar to your other skin Aura where each menu item width is proportional to the menu name length. Compared to AZ1, I think each menu item width was a set width. I recall adjusting the menu item width so I could fit more items in the home menu. Just wondering if there will be an option of going back to the fixed menu item width.

Thanks again

The vertical menu has unlimited menu items.

The advantage of the current horizontal menu style (other than aesthetics) is that more menu items fit on screen at a time and it supports mouse really well. A fixed width list has less items on screen, so much harder navigation with the mouse as accurate mouse scrolling is quite difficult in kodi.

I do have an option planned, however (along with a more "classic" AZ1 simple home screen with posters option). Trying to solve any issues with the current config before adding more options.

Other skins use it, and I find it very helpful, above all for the possibility of notifying new strings to those who help with translations.

Except for pre-existing skins that were already on transifex, the service isn't available for skins/add-ons anymore as the maintainer/team-member in charge isn't around much anymore. https://forum.kodi.tv/showthread.php?tid=304123&pid=2501158#pid2501158

Did you install the latest version of the skin from github? You need to manually update it.
IF you install from zip, you must give the zip file a unique name everytime, otherwise kodi will just use it's cached version.

If you have trouble with remembering to change the filename, please use the releases page which has properly named zips.

Just installed the Alpha Version and have a couple of things to raise:
1 When going into the movie info theres no option to play a trailer
2 Cant switch off the wrapping around of the movie/tv shows lists - it always goes in circles 
3 The Movie Logo is not displayed - it only says "title" above the poster - re-reun artwork beef to updated artwork but it doesnt help
4 Fonts - on the home screen the bolding of the selection moves all the other sections 
5 Fonts - The move title font in the Poster view - can this be changed or manually amended t a different one? not the biggest fan of the one used
6 loading/ cashin of posters - seems to be taking a bit for the posters to load when menu is opened - not sure why - havent had that issue before
7 some of the skin options dont seem to work (i.e. poster blur) and cant be ticked

Overall i love what you did with the skin - i know this is an early alpha but you made a stonking job!

1. Oops, made a typo which was stopping the trailer button showing. Fixed on latest release:
https://github.com/jurialmunkey/skin.arctic.zephyr.2/archive/skin.arctic.zephyr.2-v0.9.6-alpha.zip

2. Wrapping in what sections specifically? Are you talking about big posters view, widgets?
3. Intentional.
4. This has already been fixed.
5. What do you mean by the font changed? It is the same font as the rest of the skin, just bolded.
6. Not a skin issue.
7. Install colorbox from Skin Settings > Manage Dependencies. If an option is greyed out, it means you either do not have the required addon installed or you have not enabled a required skin setting.

 Multiple widget layout was already turned on, but Horizontal menu was disabled and greyed out for some reason.

Anyway I managed to fix it by manually editing the settings.xml file.

That's strange. The only setting which toggles whether that option is available is multi-widget mode.

...Oh my gosh that video lyric mode is awesome Smile nice surprise to see something like that

It would be great if the music views use the Kodi setting of the track naming template.

How can I enable icons for the home menu?

Edit: seems like swap list and poster position doesn't work

You can thank manfeed for video lyrics!
https://forum.kodi.tv/showthread.php?tid=308626

I'll add an option to enable the track naming template.

No icons in home menu currently - future feature Wink

Swap option only works for info views, not the standard poster list view (the idea was to have an option to revert info list positions to default AZ1). Maybe I need three options (Standard, Classic, All).

another thing would be the ordering channels could not find the menu to configure.
Below some screen for better visualization of doubt.

Thanks for the screenshots, that helps a lot. I think I know what the issue might be. Hopefully I will have a potential fix later today.

For ordering of channels, do you mean:
Settings > PVR & Live TV > General > Channel Manager

Do you mean in Channels view? I forgot to add the menu - I'll let you know once it is fixed.
In EPG you can move to the top of the epg and it should list all your channel groups. Once it is highlighted just move left/right to change.

Great skin 👍🏻

This is a great idea. I'll let you know when I have something working.

Or maybe pressing up again to show the plot?
