There's definitely something wrong with your install if you see the focused menu item in the highlight color. That code no longer exists on github.

Posted the github link in post #311. Just click the Download Zip button to get the latest version.
When I manually update an addon from github I manually extract the files to the appropriate location. No idea what might be happening if you do it a different way.

has something changed with widgets in the past week or so? I occasionally update this skin from git and after doing so last night realized that the widgets were not scrolling and were set to poster view. I can't find any setting to change anything other than the aspect ratio of the widget icon from poster to square or landscape. I tried re-installing skin helper, skin shortcuts, and a new pull from git this morning and started over re-writing all my settings, but I still see no option to change this.
Previously, as an example, let's say I was on Movies. Just having Movies highlighted would have the fanart of my most recent movies occasionally scrolling in the background. If I pressed up it would lock on that movie and bring up the other information about it in a little card and I could play from there. For TV shows it was "next up", and would work the same way, but with the next episodes of recently watched tv shows ready to be selected with their fanart scrolling.
Now, when I'm on Movies, just my most recent 1 movie's fanart is the background, and it will stay that way forever. If I press up, the widget expands and I see all the posters of my recent movies, and I can scroll through myself to change the background fanart. Closing the widget keeps whatever film I was last on. This also stays across widgets, so if open the movie widget, scroll to the third in the list and close the widget, the third item in TV shows will also be displayed. Changing the selected item in TV shows changes the movies widget as well.
So anyway I've just noticed those pretty big changes for widgets lately, and was wondering if I was missing a setting somewhere, if it's in a transitional period and I'll get these old options back soon, or if I'm stuck with non-rotating widgets now.
Thanks otherwise for an amazing skin! love it and it remains my #1 skin of choice, by far. Thanks so much for the work you're putting into it.

I removed the "featured" home layout, so now the options are horizontal and vertical. No plans to bring featured back, still contemplating an alternative home layout.

Simply because I don't use that layout. As stated in the first post, this is just a personal mod so likely won't satisfy a wide audience.

oh that's too bad. Really beautiful feature that made the skin enjoyable to look at even when not in use. Hopefully it can find its way back in the future, till then I'll just have to deal with it or find something else. Thanks for answering though!
