hey jurialmunkey,
Thanks for the awesome job with Aura! I have been working on some custom mods for the skin and have hit a problem i was hoping you could help me with.
I would like to set some conditions based on the widgetAspect that is set for a particular widget. I tried using the label you created Label_SkinShortcuts_Widget0_Aspect as well as numerous Container(211 / 300 / 330) combinations, however everything I try returns empty.
Can you point me in the right direction of how i can get the customvalues set for each widget?
Thanks!

Thanks for the feedback.
I was using the containers you mentioned, problem seems to be where I am trying to use them.
My goal is to create variable height for the widget grouplist based on the widget type (i added new widgets which have different heights). If I reference the widgetAspect as a visibility condition, it works fine. If I try use it as an include condition for the vertical widget fixedlist, it does not work.
Example ( i was trying to follow the same logic you used to set the Submenu height)
<control type="fixedlist" id="$PARAM[id]">
<movement>2</movement>
<include condition="$PARAM[submenu] + !Skin.HasSetting(SubmenuLabel)">Widget_Items_Submenu_Height</include>
<include condition="$PARAM[submenu] + Skin.HasSetting(SubmenuLabel)">Widget_Items_Submenu_Big_Height</include>
<include condition="!$PARAM[submenu] + String.IsEqual(Container(300).ListItem.Property(widgetAspect),LandscapeWide)">Widget_Height_LandscapeWide</include>
Any ideas?
Thanks!

I loved this skin - but with any skin like this I think the main purpose (apart from Up Next TV etc) is a Netflix-like homescreen with widgets driven by Trakt etc for movie suggestions. My issue is that there is no plot outline on your home screen for these movies (and no rating that I could see either?) so it really makes it hard for me to choose a movie (without checking info every time).
I understand your menu is currently at the top and you're concerned about space - but that's really a non-negotiable for me. Could you not add the option for a clear logo/title on the left at the top and plot summary top right? Directly under the menu and before the widgets. Alternatively, have the menu vertical and pop out on hitting back (this is what Titan does on Netflix Home - and works great), freeing up the top of the screen for a title/clear logo and plot summary?
Another issue I'd like to report is that I can't change Groups in TV Guide (for Live TV). With most skins there are two options:
i) hitting back takes you to the side menu where you you can change which favourites groups you're in
ii) the groups are across the top of the TV Guide, so you can click up to teh top and change the group you're in
Without one of these implemented live TV is basically impossible to change groups from the remote and so unusable.

Going to second the plot info on the home screen as a feature request if that's something that's possible.
Just want to add that I'm thoroughly enjoying this skin. It's my favourite so far, and it's incredibly smooth on Leia. Kudos.
