No offense taken at all. It's a completely legit observation and I'm not a wallflower. I do have a tendency to be overzealous in setting time expectations for releases. Fault is mine entirely for setting that and routinely not meeting it. But I appreciate you taking the time out to say as such as people like yourself and @rdyott do.

In the meantime...

@Rufoo Thanks again for everything you put into this and is the new link with version 0.9.9 that you opened up the final release or are there still anything needed to be added? I know you mentioned before something about a version 1.0. Just making sure if I'm good to download and start using it now or if your still making some last quick changes and I should still wait a little longer.

@gman12 

You're welcome and enjoy. 1.0 is just going to be bugfixed version of this with a proper icon and fanart for the skin. There is no more views I'll be adding anytime soon, as I had a bunch of them that ended up on the cutting room floor - so to speak. I'm content with the 4 new views I created and feel they best serve for most purposes. Despite being 4 views, they really should be thought of X number of views in 1.

Hey Rufoo, nice to see an update!

Firstly, thanks for the credit. Was not expecting that

I've downloaded and installed the new version on my sacrificial... er testing rig, and I've got a few comments, just based on playing around with the views.

1. Movie/TVShow update message still in old mimic style which overlays on top of Date/Weather/Time
   
2. Keibertz+ Movie/TVShow Posters are appearing square, not rectangular
   
3. Keibertz+ Titles could be a little bigger and/or Year/Genre be smaller. The font settings in Arcade are perfect, maybe use those?
   
4. Coverflow same as above, Titles bigger, Year/Genre smaller
   
5. Coverflow selection highlight around posters seems to appear/disappear when you scroll through items
   
6. Movie/TVShow information pages still have old mimic style topbar (at least for me)
   
7. Can't find any sign of the Aussie classification ratings symbols LOL
   
8. PVR Guide screen, no obvious way to access side-panel menu with remote (arrow keys just scroll through guide listings)
   
9. Weather screen, location information appearing below "Weather" in topbar
   

Here's a few screenshots of some of the things I was talking about

Suggestions for a future version

1. Change the media flags to be a uniform style either graphical (like Estuary) or simply text?
   

Hope these comments help you out!

@Jondar 

Appreciated. I will look into this further. I'm guessing from the font it must be using a different one on your system, so I might need to look into adding additional entries. Guessing you're not running this on a Windows machine?

The highlight for Coverflow does fade out as the item flips to the next. Unless you're speaking of something different. I'll check the Aussie flags thing.

- I haven't edited the dialogs yet (the information pages) hence why you see the old-school topbar there. Easy enough.
- The location appearing in Weather must be something specific to the weather screen itself, I'll get onto that.
- Odd that Keibertz+ is displaying Squares. I'm not experiencing that on mine but I'll check the code again to make sure I didn't do something goofy.

Windows 10 machine, however, I'm not using the skin standard font, I'm using one of the other included font options.

I've just checked, and the standard font, the sizes are fine, change the font (I tried NotoSans, Roboto and Assistant), and the sizes are off

It might be the Weather addon (I'm using OzWeather)...?

If it does need to move, maybe include it in with the "Current Conditions" text... make it something like "Current Conditions for INSERT PLACE HERE" ?

No problem. You've done some wonderful work, both in keeping mimic alive, and expanding on it!

One thing that I’ve noticed not to be picky the weather icons in the main page don’t show maybe they need to be set to default or perhaps I’m missing something? Otherwise outstanding work!

[Rufoo]

@Jondar 

I've pushed fixes for both the weather location label and for Keibertz+ displaying squares. Turns out I did something goofy before. I'll expand the font entries to the non-default ones. This should fix the issue.

@Hudson_Hawk04 

Thanks, mate. I pushed a fix for the weather in the topbar. It will only display if weather is fetched but you can still disable it even once the weather is fetched by going to Skin Settings > Modifiers. There is an option there now to outright disable display of weather in the topbar.

[Hudson_Hawk04]

Also I keep getting an extendedinfo script error would you happen to know if it’s a skin issue in relation to the script or if I need to grab an update manually, as it does not want to seem to auto update.

Also in the view keibertz+ when I am using it as my view for movies it appears to not necessarily be pulling the art set for the cover, looks like it’s using a thumbnail, possibly landscape

Thanks again for your amazing skin love your visionfor this skin! Keep up the great work!

[Rufoo]

@Hudson_Hawk04 

Are you still experiencing issues with Keibertz+ since I pushed the fix the other day or do problems persist?

[Hudson_Hawk04]

Yes if there is landscape or thumbnail art present I have to manually refresh the title

[Rufoo]

OK. I'll look into these more. I'll be doing another bug hunt and push this weekend.

Checked the updated version, appears all fixed. Thanks!

One more suggestion: Specifically for where playlists are used, would it be possible to restore a label indicating the number of entries in a playlist? I noticed that yesterday when I was adding some videos to a playlist to watch, that I had no easily visible way of knowing how many videos were in the playlist (except for manually counting them! )

I'll add an entry to the new Modifier settings menu to allow Item Count to be restored when in sections that are relevant. Item count was originally in the pre-0.9.9 versions but I removed it and replaced it with the static date. I'm assuming that's what you mean? Take this older development shot of Coverflow - in the top right, this whatcha mean?

Yes, something like that would be great. Having it as an optional modifier is perfect. Thanks!
