I mean, I might have missed something. been years since I used xbmc/kodi, but this skin got me going again and working on a new htpc.
Adv Launcher support is coming once I have some free time, been planned for a while just very busy at the moment. Smile

What are the possibilities that there can be some collaboration with you (your skin) and some of the custom versions of your skin, and adding some of the great features/setting options to your original version that you maintain? I love using your skin, and being in the repo, I like the no hassle auto updates. Seeing some of the mods spring up based on your skin, I'm seeing some nice features and options being added that I think would add to what you've already started. I'd like to have the access to some of these, but I like the ease of updates with the original.

Things like the built in skin color setting selection for text and highlights, spruced up file information logos instead of text (like ratio, DTS, 5.1, etc) which give the appearance of a more official look, and the transparency of the header/footer. Not being a skinner, I'm not sure the ease of adding these things to the skin, but they seem like they can be feature settings that can be added within 'furniture' or another setting plane to be accessible by the user to use or not use.

What are your thoughts?

EDIT: Colour picker added on latest git

Codec logos have already been discussed extensively. Dont have an interest in adding that - This skin is intentionally minimalist. Also, they are too inconsistent in size/shape and I'm not a fan of the alternative of placing them in boxes. Plus they just bloat the file size of the skin and I simply just don't really like the look of them compared to text.

Transparency of header/footer/background can easily be achieved with modifying colour schemes.

Thanks for the update on the Skin repo, I like the new progress wheel.


RE: Arctic: Zephyr - magy77 - 2015-05-12

is it possible so set the top layer invincible when nothing is played? (when playback is stopped the layer on the top is useless, when the header is disabled)

Agreed.

Edit: found the option to use flat icons in the weather screen.


RE: Arctic: Zephyr - locomot1f - 2015-05-13

peace @JM,

i like the addition of the selecting a highlight color.

i would like to add a request for being able to reset the value back to blank.
in case we would ever like to go back to the default setting.

thanks again for such a great skin!

Jurial I use your skin for a few months now. The skin is really great you have an eye for detail. Everything fits so nicely together. I just hope that when you have time again you want to watch the music part. According to me the presentation while playing music can be more beautiful and informatief. I'am missing the music hub ? Thank you for the many hours that you have given to us with this beautiful skin.


RE: Arctic: Zephyr - Scott00007 - 2015-05-14

I would like to disable the autoscrolling for the home screen recent episode widget. What .XML file do I need to edit and what should I search for.

Thanks
