Am i correct in assuming that the decision to not include run time and aspect ratio alongside the codec is final as per consensus or your artistic vision?
If not, then I would respectfully respect that you consider it. As a person who loves the minimalist aesthetic of this skin, I employ the poster wall with no movie description. I like to know as little about a movie as possible when I see it. The aspect ratio and the runtime are the only pieces of info that I generally require ahead of time.
There are plenty of views that show runtime.
I'm sorry, but I have to decline this request. The options will balloon out of control if I add multiple bespoke configurations.

Is it possible to choose between widgets and submenu view for Home Menu items ?
I have a custom 'other videos' home item, with a few sub-items (kids, familly, sport, documentaries...)
I think it would be more elegant (for both looking and navigation) to display the submenu view directly on the home page, rather than having to press the "ohter videos' item to display the submenu.
edit: I tried the "open submenu hub when focusing submenu" without success
This is an interesting idea. I'll have to try some things and see how feasible it is.

Where? There's no room anywhere.
Also, in season view is there any way to focus on the (unwatched) episode(s) instead of the season?
Not really room there. It depends on the length of the rating label. For instance, I have moves that are "Rated MA15+" and this pushes end time almost to the end. I also try to keep skin components consistent through-out the skin - for instance, that info line is the same as in media info 2 view and info dialog. Both those places already show ratings, so adding a rating to the end of the line will be unnecessary duplication.
Unfortunately, I don't think focusing the episodes in the season view is possible. It would be a really nice touch, but I can't see any way to do it that wouldn't be a hacky.

Thank you so much @jurialmunkey for AZ2. This skin (and Aura) is all I ever wanted.
The possiblities are endless. I have just finished organizing my videos menu.
I organized my video add-ons and my YouTube channels into categories in "Android style" folders with node editor for easier navigation and the result looks so good for my taste in AZ2.
Also the new icon only horizontal menu is great and I hope an icon only menu option to be added in Aura too.
Thank you so much @jurialmunkey for everything you have offered us and keep offering us.
This looks fantastic!
Did you have to create the 4panel folder icons yourself, or are they auto-created from the node?
Thank you, @jurialmunkey
I created them with GIMP, they aren't auto-created.
But 1 good thing about nodes, is that they don't require the icon path to be absolute.
They are smart enough to read Kodi's special paths.
Labels can also be localized.
Code:
<?xml version='1.0' encoding='UTF-8'?>
<node order="10">
<label>Documentaries</label>
<icon>special://masterprofile/icons/documentaries.png</icon>
</node>
Code:
<?xml version='1.0' encoding='UTF-8'?>
<node order="10" type="folder" visible="System.HasAddon(plugin.video.youtube)">
<label>BBC Docs</label>
<path>plugin://plugin.video.youtube/channel/UCZEPItn2Nb62Zso5eohHAAA/</path>

What I have understood the steps that I have to do are:
In Compile Mode:
1. Select your input directory (in this case "media" directory)
2. Select the output .xbt file ("Textures.xbt")
3. Press the "start" button to begin.
And then I have to delete all the files and folders in the "media" directory and put only the Textures.xbt file, or also the Square.xbt file?
@jurialmunkey Would it be possible for you to compress the skins images in future releases of the skin?
No need to delete anything. Kodi will automatically use the Textures file if present in the media directory.
Too much effort for me to recompress on every release because I will constantly need to remove it from the working directory if I want to test changes to textures.
A suggestion, could you show the information of the first movie in the widget without having to place it in the movie? Or if it is not possible, remove the stars and "No information available"?
@jurialmunkey Would it be possible? Thank you.

Hi,
im loving this skin so far.

but the clock is not showing in the osd while im watching.

the clock and end time is also not showing up while watching tv shows and movies

You're right. I'm not sure how it is being achieved in Estuary. I'll have to investigate and get back to you.
EDIT: That was simple. Looks like Estuary doesn't have DialogFullscreenInfo.xml at all. I thought that was a required dialog, but seems like it isn't. Simply deleting the dialog stops it from stealing focus - if it's good enough for Estuary, then it's good enough for me.

Press "info" on remote or "i" on keyboard.

RE: Arctic: Zephyr 2 - dingdongdynamo - 2019-04-08
Great skin, thank you. Is it somehow possible to choose audio and subtitle language on the Information screen before playing a video? I can see it detects the different languages of both audio and video but I'm not able to select a language without playing the video and then selecting the language in the OSD menu.
RE: Arctic: Zephyr 2 - holydhaliwal - 2019-04-08
Is it possible to have TV Show widgets open the show at the season level, rather than showing the info screen for the TV Show itself?

(2019-04-06, 20:43)popcornemil Wrote: First off.How did you made that genre view?
Jurial, you are a god.
I am pretty new to Kodi and used AZ a couple of weeks. And Rhen AZ2 Beta came.
Sorry if this is a noob question and not a skin question.
I have Madeleine some nodes and put them in a subwidget. Is it possible to have more than 25 items?
See attached image.
Best Regards
I would like to display my genre submenu like you did, only the genres on top, and the movies below.
So, like this:
but instead of just the icons with the names below it, I would have 7 small pictures of genres, with the names on top, like in your view. Prefarably also in Dutch language.

I would like to know how its looking at your kodi.
No, this menu is for movies and TV Shows of my country.
It's not content from an add-on, it has content of my library.
I split my library with nodes to English movies and TV Shows and to my country's movies and TV Shows.
This is the "countries" icon of AZ2 (world.png), I couldn't think of a better icon for this menu.

video favorites?
I used the node editor for that, to create these nodes, but it can be done with video favourites too.
I prefer to use the nodes because they load faster than video favourites (Python overhead).
But I use video favourites too, as a "better" replacement of Kodi's favourites.
But it was not working correctly:
1.: No Pictures/Icons of the Addons just text.
2.: *Add rule, *new node, *new parent note ist there and I don't know how to remove this.
3.: when I was clicking on any add-on it didn't opened the add-on, it opened the Library node editor.
I don't know what im doing wrong and how to fix this to have It like you.
Thanks a lo for information, nice greetings from Europe

RE: Arctic: Zephyr 2 - hewligun - 2019-04-08
Is there any way to get the home screen to look more like AZ? The rest of the skin looks fine but man that home screen moving menu items to the top with the widget for recently added movies / tv hurts. And the small font as well.
