Since the changes made in 3.45+ are extensive and take the skin back to what people expect, I've decided to revert the name of the skin back to Xperience1080. This will start from the next Helix version onwards.
Why am I doing this?
1) I've put a lot of effort into trying to balance the features of Xperience1080 with the changes of 1080XF - I feel the new version achieves this.
2) It makes it far easier for me to keep track of changes and collaborate with xhaggi, as well as merge requests and other parts.
Will I need to do anything?
When I submit the new version to the repository you'll need to remove the 1080XF directory - or leave it. No, is the simple answer, but you will need to set you skin up again (sorry).
What about the Skin Testing thread, does that change?
No, the version that will be submitted to the repository will be the exact same version many of you have been testing.
What about the different themes?
The new default theme will be Xperience1080, the extra theme will be 1080XF - the current default textures you see in screen shots.
Do you have to do this?
No, but it's much easier to keep on track with git changes and general development.
What will happen to this sub-forum?
It will be renamed back to Xperience1080.
Have you asked anyone from Team Kodi about this?
Yes, I've contacted one member to ask whether or not this would be acceptable, it is.
