I figured as much. While I don't really have any issues on my current mod of your older CCM skin, I haven't really looked at everything on your current CCM skin to know if it all fits. Also, I set those sizes mainly due to trying to get the biggest sizes possible so as to clearly see all the text on older TVs.

You could also nix (or go in tangent of) the idea of using the font as a 'Massive' one and just make it an option using the same sizes as the default font. That way the sizes won't be too large but others can still get the support for non-Latin characters; especially since I doubt most would use the 'Massive' aspect for support on older TVs like I do. Then again, also having a 'Massive' font does get support from older people who love huge font. Hehe.

Looked into this one. There is a problem showing a fallback image on a multiimage path, which is why there is no fallback. I could change it to a single image per condition which is what the default live condition uses. But users that adjust the live weather images would not be able to have more than one image per condition.

Will think about it. But could you try look at the log in your kodi directory and tell me the number of the condition which is bombing out, you should see something like the code below with a number at the end

Code:
Error getting special://skin/extras/Weather/

Code:
ERROR: XFILE::CDirectory::GetDirectory - Error getting special://skin/extras/Weather/9/

If memory serves correct, the weather condition was "Drizzle" or something to that effect.

Problem with wraplist on submenus is that if you only have one item it repeats to fill up the six places on the submenu.

Fair enough I understand that part. Perhaps submenu was the wrong word I needed to describe my request for wraplist. Below was what I was talking about wraplisting for tvshows, movies and music.

Hi,

great MOD, thanks ..

small bug - if I set user specific backgrounds some categories fall back to (ugly) standard confluence skin background when openend, for example live tv (guide, timer) or options ..

any chance to modernize confluence theme with some more decent fonts, colors and higher res gfx ?

So Long

I really can't follow what is going on right now, I am so sorry.

So, CCM - Confluence Customizable Mod isn't updated anymore for Kodi 14 / Helix. This topic is for the Kodi 14 / Helix version of the skin? Where can I find the correct and working download?
It's not in the official repository!?

This skin is for Kodi V14 AKA Helix. It is modified with a lot of extra features that the Kodi supplied Confluence skin does not have but he (Mudislander) is trying to keep the basic appearance of the Confluence skin.

There is a link to a repo in the 1st post between the last picture and the PayPal donate button (don't forget that button if you like the skin). The link is just the words "Hybrid Repo" in blue.

If you decide to use this skin you need to know:

You need patience
There might be problems - it is in beta right now
Some things may not work as expected
Bugs
It might not look right
It might not work right
You might not be using it right Wink
It might cause errors in your log file
You need to know how to post a log file so you can help fix things you might discover

Oh gosh, I din't look right. My bad! I installed it now... I'm so glad again! Wish I could mail chocolate.

Is it easy to lower the menubar of the main menu?
And why is the music widget showing frank instead of album art for some items?
And is it possible to make the lower black bar on the home screen disappear of smaller? It's huge and there isn't much...

You really need to read whole thread not to ask the same questions again

Great work again!

Is there anyway to enable the random film and tv backgrounds like the old ccm skin?

Cheers

Sorry can't reproduce that one and the correct directory is in place - maybe didn't install properly on your machine - Let me know if it happens again after today's update..

Backgrounds still need a bit of work, problem with the fallback to standard confluence background is the way the MOD is setup to look like confluence on original install. However I agree that if the settings have been changed we don't want to see the original background.

Re themes and fonts - I'm open to any ideas, but I suck at graphics. It looks thewarm is working on a fresh theme - Maybe he'll release it ?

I've enabled the script that does that again - it has a few issues on my system.

Alternately use something like Artwork.organizer to place your fanart in directories and then use the centralised directory options to point to the folder. Or use the background settings for the menu item and set the multi image to the folder with the fanart in it.

Now it looks great! Thank you for bigger widgets!
Mudislander, add the ability to hide the icon Favorites (STAR icon) on home menu.

I need something constant at the bottom of the screen for the up and down movement actions and have already given the option to remove power button so favourites has to stay. Later on we could always give it different options so that it doesn't have to remain a favourites button, but have got a lot of other stuff to do first Smile
