Will there be an option to display the logo art instead of just the title text ?

EDIT: I also would really like a Square aspect for add-on lists (like Video Add-ons, etc...).

I've found that clearlogos aren't really consistent enough in their alignment to replace title text. If all the clearlogos were properly left aligned without any transparent space then it would do it, but there's just too many that have weird spacing from the sides which looks weird when all the other items in the group are left aligned.

They look pretty good by themselves though:


I'm experimenting with something in TMDbHelper to use PIL to provide an autocropped clearlogo. I'm not certain yet whether or not it's feasible or will be too much overhead. If I can get it working well, then I will provide an option to replace actual text with logo.

No, you can't change aspect (except in AEL because it's necessary). However, those are the default aspects anyway

When can we expect a beta?

Cheers for the hard work!

I agree. It is very nice looking.
However i think it will be nice if we can test it or at least release it in github. In that way we can give ideas what can be changed and what could be included.

This new skin looks interesting.
I look forward to trying it out.
I do have one big concern however.
This is not a criticism just an observation.
Has development of AZ2 been abandoned?
Fuse (nue) and Horizon have not been updated in many months and AURA also appears to be heading the same direction.
Would you be so kind as to give us some indication of your plans for AZ2 and AURA going forward.
Thank you for all your work and the beautiful and elegant skins you share with us all.

No AZ2 hasn't been abandoned. I just haven't had much time for skinning in general as most of my time has been focused on TMDbHelper. I've actually been working on Arctic Horizon for about 9 months whilst AZ2 development was going on. Originally it was easy to make changes upstream in AZ2 and then merge into AH but now the skins have diverged significantly and it is difficult to work on both at once.

Generally work goes into the skin that I'm personally using and that I'm excited about, so that's why AH has received my attention recently. As I stated before, AZ2 really got bloated by adding bespoke features and now its really difficult for me to do the things that I want because I have to think about supporting all these features that I don't even like (and some I even despise and wish I never added but now I can't remove without being bombarded by complaints).

Fuse(Neue), the original Horizon, and Aura will not be developed any further. Arctic Horizon is my attempt to pull together many of my favourites features from all my skins.

There will likely be an Aura2 at some stage. Aura really needs to be rewritten as there are several fundamental issues with the way that skin is coded. I'm hoping as Arctic Horizon develops, it will provide a good base for developing Aura2. I've finally got a multi widget setup using skinshortcuts which I feel works really well.

The skins in my signature are my core skins and are the ones that I will always return to in some form

Without trying to be the guy to ask for an alpha/beta release... do you have an estimate of how far along the skin is? I'd love to help in any way I can

e.g. if you create a TV widget for next episodes etc and watch one from the widget, when playback completes it will return to the homescreen and focus on the next main menu item (e.g addons or whatever). This behavior makes sense when viewing from within a s menu (e.g episode list) as you want it to highlight the next episode upon completion.

I'm not sure if it is possible to achieve this as I don't think Kodi out of the box with default skin is designed for widgets in this way.
