Can you fix the alignment on the system info page in the next update
Horizon Vs Estuary

Should be fixed now

@jurialmunkey
Excellent skin, by far one of the best.
Would it be possible to add an option to prefer landscape art if it's available, otherwise default back to fanart with a clear logo overlay.
I'm talking about this view here:

The reason landscape art isn't available for widgets is because the landscape view isn't actually perfectly 16:9 and most landscape art has the logo really close to the edge so it ends up getting cut off. I had to make some compromises for landscape to get the alignment with the widgets correctly, so unfortunately this is a feature that had to go

any way to remove the Kodi logo and Kodi letters? (top left)

In Includes_Home.xml remove line 61 which is this

Code:

<include>Home_Iconbar_Logo</include>

Not sure if I am missing something here.

I want to add,  in a submenu, a shortcut to an android app (using Shield). With Arctic Zephyr, I can browse to the app, context menu (long press ENTER) and add to favourites, then add the favourite to the submenu.

In Horizon, when I context menu on the app, nothing happens ?

Thanks in advance

I don't use Android, so I can't test. But there really shouldn't be any difference in context menu between skins as it is kodi which handles it.
Quick question are you using the context menu from inside the programs area or from the home screen? I've found that kodi treats the context menu on the home screen differently from *inside* the library views. So you might need to go into the programs area (or wherever android apps are) and favourite it from there.

EDIT: I just tested on a few add-ons on the home screen and it seems that kodi does not add the "add to favourites" context menu item on the home screen. You have to go into the add-ons section of the library to be able to add to favourites.

Just wanted to pop in and say that this skin is amazing and that I just made it my primary skin. The PVR Guide (and the info popup in the OSD) is just wonderful, I love it SO much!  

I was just wondering a few things...I apologize if they have been brought up already.

1) Are any plans to allow sidebars to be invisible (including the Kodi logo) unless we try to navigate to them? I would really appreciate that.
2) Related to #1, an option to get rid of the "wordiness" in the header bar such as what window I'm currently look at and library statistics. I really enjoy being able to just have the header bar show the date, time, and weather.
3) For library related widget items. Its a bit weird to see that items trailing off to the right instead of just wrapping to the next row. I normally end up having to scroll all the way to the right to see everything that was recently added for some libraries.
4) Any chance you could port over that "system info" widget from Fuse to Horizon? Its SUPER useful and it looks great. 

Again, thanks for the hard work! Big fan of your other skins

Thanks

1.Not for now, but maybe in a much later future version. Removing the sidebar would require a complete redesign of the skin as it will change spacing requirements and dimensions.
2. I'll add an option. I will let you know when it is added.
3. It's a no to this request I'm afraid. All the widgets will always be the same height for alignment reasons.
4. Yes that will be coming eventually. But its much more complex than just "porting" it over. Basically needs to be completely remade for the skin.

@jurialmunkey,

Not sure if it's a skin or Kodi bug. when I exit out of extendedinfo the icons are not highlighted. 


Thanks

Should be fixed now

Two issues popped up recently, the first one is  whenever i go into like tv shows/movies/addons or anything with a list the focus stays on the left instead selecting the first item in the list

Turning off Display all widgets together (ungroup widgets) fixes both of these problems

Hmmm. Very odd. I will look into this today and see if I can figure out what is going on.

Great skin.  Thanks for the hard work.

A couple of refinements that I've seen in other skins (mainly Titan Krypton) that I think are nice:

1. Allow Submenu as Categories widget setting to be made on a per menu item basis instead of globally.  I have some menu items that I'd like to display the submenu as the Categories widget, but some that I'd rather have the slideout submenu for.
   
2. Add a "Small Poster" view type for widgets.  On some widgets it would be nice to show the posters at about half the size to fit more items on screen.
   
3. Would be nice to have an option for a thinner title bar (so it takes up less space vertically) and also with greater transparency.  Checking the option to make the title bar transparent currently only reduces the opacity slightly.
   
4. Add trakt watched indicator on items in home widgets.  I have widgets that display trakt lists.  Would be nice if shows that have completely watched had a small indicator on them (Titan Krypton skin does this nicely).
   

Also, there is a several second delay before the categories widget submenu is displayed on the screen. Would you be able to fix that?

Thanks so much.  Well done.

1. This is on my todo list. I will keep you posted when it gets added.
2. All widgets need the same height for alignment reasons. That is also the reason why the categories widget can only be the first/last widget.
3. A thinner title bar requires completely redesigning the skin because it will change alignment of everything. So no to that request I'm afraid.
You can change the transparency of the topbar in Includes_Topbar.xml at line 48

Code:

<animation effect="fade" start="100" end="75" condition="Skin.HasSetting(EnableTransparentTopbar)">Conditional</animation>

Change the end="75" value to a lower value to have more transparency.
4. The skin uses the watched indicators set in the library db.

Thanks for responding. I'm not sure I understand your answer to #4. Just to make sure I'm being clear, what I'm asking for is this:

I have a widget on my home screen which displays all the TV shows in a personal list that I've created in Trakt. In the Titan skin you can create that very same type of widget, and it places a small watched indicator (they use a small blue triangle with a white eye icon, but I really don't care what the icon looks like) in the upper-right corner of the show poster if the show is marked as completely watched in Trakt. I'm asking if you can add that functionality to Horizon. I realize that I can click on a show to go into the list view and see the episodes marked as watched in the list. But it's nice to be able to see at a glance directly on the home screen if I'm up to date on the show or not.

One other thing that seems like an issue: The submenu widget isn't displayed until you navigate onto a home screen widget and then back onto the menu. I have 3 main menu items...the first two don't have any submenus, but the third does. I have the skin configured to display submenu as categories widget on top in the small size. When Kodi first loads and I navigate on the main menu to that third menu item, its submenu is not displayed as a widget initially. It doesn't show up until I navigate to the right onto another home widget, then navigate left back onto the main menu.

Hope that's clear. Let me know if you need anything else. Thanks.

Hmm, the submenu bug is very odd. To show the categories widget, I check against the number of items in the submenu container. Seems like kodi is not updating the info label for some reason. Nonetheless, I figured out an alternative method to check, so it should be fixed on github now.

Regarding watched indicators. Watched indicators already show on widgets if the show is marked as watched in your kodi db (will show a green tick)
Example:


What are you using to display the Trakt list as a widget?

Second is the pvr guide is no longer showing the images that skinhelper gets

But displays nothing

Turning off Display all widgets together (ungroup widgets) fixes both of these problems

Thanks to your detective work, I think I've managed to fix the focus issue. As I can't test PVR, I'm not sure if this has also fixed the PVR issue? Can you test?
Please let me know if there are any windows that still open the sideblade -- very odd kodi bug happening here so I'm using an unconventional work around, but it requires me individually naming all the windows that the focus shouldn't happen to (rather than simply naming the ones it should). So it is very possible I may have missed one or two.

Thanks Jurial!

Here is the link for a modified DialogAddonSettings.xml that works with Leia: https://1drv.ms/u/s!AlII29kkG6TFh_E0SG4vu6dncMHXSQ

I can´t get the link to work, or is it just me?. Can you pls share it again bsoriano if the link is broken. Would love to test Horizon in Leia

Focus being on the left has been fixed but still no images on the PVR guide, it will flash an image for a split second when you first enter the guide but nothing

Yes that did it cheers. Had to add a home menu item of the Android programs and then I could add them to favourites

Thanks

@komplex - and the pvr images definitely work with ungroup widgets turned off? I'll have a look today and see if I can figure out what is causing the problem

[Joe23rep]

jurial- could you take a look at extended info?

the font is black. but most of the time the background is dark too so its impossible to read.

its not the script itself cause in estuary the font is white and easy readable. so it has to pull from the skin

Screenshot?

There shouldn't be any black text. Looks fine to me:

[jurialmunkey]

Added a Settings widget for quick access to all settings. Like the weather widget, must be placed in first widget slot.

@jurialmunkey,

Unfortunately, The highlighted icon bug is not completely fixed. This only happens when I select actor info.

Plot info

After exiting plot info


Actor info

After exiting actor info


Thanks

[Blurayx]

Great new feature 

Would it be possible to have an option whichever is easier to implement
• Option to darken the text
• Option to change the tiles occupancy 

This would give more choice for personal backgrounds(Multi)



Thanks
