Thanks for reporting this bug.
If it is what I think it is, hopefully it should be fixed on latest master
https://github.com/jurialmunkey/skin.arctic.zephyr.2/archive/master.zip
Can you test and confirm?

1. When you set a "List View" it only sets it for each TV show or one movie sets, it used to set it across all of them so I didn't need to sort them all manually.
For example I want "Info Wall" when I got into a TV show or movie set but it I set it on show A and go into show B it's showing default "List" view. (This is on the .13 alpha, didn't have this one the .5)
This will be an issue later on if you let us enable "kiosk" mode.
2. On the home screen when you click left with vertical menu to go into the submenu you need to click up instead of right to go back.
This is what I've found that is still in the newest alpha, some other things were already fixed so you're quick to fix things.
1. Kodi handles remembering viewtypes, not the skin. However, the skin does have an option to force a viewtype - you can use the "lock" icon to lock a viewtype to a content type (e.g. media info view for all episode views).
2. I can't replicate this bug. Doesn't happen for me.

Thank for the quick response. I'll install the update and report back if it hasn't fixed it.
Edit: been using it for the past 30 minutes and it seems to have fixed it!

Few questions/suggestions:
1) Will icons be returning to the horizontal / multi widget menu layout as an option? Right now I think the top menu bar is not prominent enough without them for new users.
2) Would it be possible to have an option to turn off the press up to either go to the submenu or hub menu from the home screen as I think it has the potential to be a bit confusing to some users?
3) Could the menu text in the home menu use the highlight selection colour?
4) Is it possible to centre the nodes in the submenu?
5) Personally I think having the clear logo on the poster info view type is not needed when you have the poster and name already there:
But obviously I'd want to retain it in views where the fanart is being shown in isolation.
6) Lastly, any chance it would be possible to have an Info Wall view for recently added episodes? As per the picture above, the posters would be the series posters and the right hand image the episode thumb.
Thanks!
1. Yes definitely. Just haven't added it yet. Waiting until everything else is settled.
2. You can disable the submenu entirely by deleting all the submenu items for that mainmenu item.
3. Maybe, I'll have a look and see whether I like it.
4. I'm on the fence about this one. Definitely possible, just not sure which way I prefer (and don't want to add an option because trying to minimise number of options).
5. I will have a setting for disabling the clearlogo on fanart, but it will be an all or nothing thing I'm afraid.
6. But wouldn't all the posters be the same?

Thanks for giving us the best skins for Kodi, jurial. You rock.Yeah I think this is a great idea. I'll have a look at adding it tonight after I finish work.
I've been testing the alpha releases and man, you did again a great job.
I'm using the basic horizontal one widget layout. I like minimalism, and the resemblance to original AZ. I have the background widget on home screen set to display my latest added movies and another one to my latest added tv shows. I love the minimalistic design, and the fanart cycling, but I think that adding the clearlogo or a subtle movie or show name with the skin font to the lower right corner would be awesome. I know that pressing up displays the movie name, but I like to leave the home screen cycling through the fanart on my TV.

1) Cool.
2) Trouble is I still want a submenu, accessed when selecting the menu item. It's only a minor niggle anyway so maybe ignore.
3) The default selection colour is white anyway so won't change anything unless a highlight colour is chosen.
4) Fair enough.
5) Fair enough.
6) I'd just want to use that view for my global recently added episodes view where the majority of shows would be different, not a view for an individual show.
Thanks
RE: Arctic: Zephyr 2 - Lastpost - 2019-03-20
After updating to. 13 I can't see some of the widgets I added.
Only 6 out 10 show, all custom playlists of local files with content I could see before the update.
All added to a single item btw.

I've found one issue so far that I can replicate with a fresh install: If you lock for example a TV show season layout and go into another season, change the layout there (this will change it for all unlocked ones in your library except the locked ones) and then go back out to the locked one and unlocked it, try to change layout again and it no longer follows the default sorting layout.
Locking something once bugs it.

Still going to stick with AZ1 for now, but just checked out the AZ2 Alpha and it seems great so far! The name is very apt, it's a total upgraded version of AZ1.
RE: Arctic: Zephyr 2 - hoopsdavis - 2019-03-20
jurialmunkey, I noticed there's no option to set Weather fanart (Normally a setting found under > Settings > Background)

Unable to display extrafanart, it does work with Aura
Arctic: Zephyr 2 - puenktchen - 2019-03-21
Really great Kodi skin! Here's what i've found:
1. Custom highlight color isn't used in List View, Media Info View, Media Info 2 View, PVR Guide and PVR Channels.
2. Although they are named Dialog*.xml i think it would be better to give PVR OSD Guide and PVR OSD Channels the default color instead of the dialog color. Both screens nearly fill the hole screen and there's no other content behind it like it is with a menu dialog.
3. PVR Info screen has a "(" after the channel name and program title should be centered.
4. PVR Timers and Timers Rules are missing an indication if the timers are activated or deactivated.
5. In PVR Timer Rules under the big logo there's always "no information available". I don't think timer rules provide any genre with any pvr backend, so the number of total timers inside the rule would fit here.
6. Will we get sorting methods for submenu hub widgets?

RE: Arctic: Zephyr 2 - ima13x - 2019-03-21
Hey @jurialmunkey,
Not sure if this is already implemented in the new version, but after digging for a while I found a really old thread about adding a "Back to Full Screen" button into the sub menu when you back out of a video. You put the code that would be needed and where (myvideonav.xml) in that thread, which worked perfectly! Just curious if this is something you'll be including in V2?
Thanks for all the amazing work!
