That's just a defined color & transparency level, not an image. You can modify it by hand editing settings.xml (not recommended) or via skin settings -> customization -> choose skin colors (recommended). Skin updates shouldn't trash user theme/color settings. If you're using Kodi 19 and edit the colors in skin settings, you'll need to apply a very easy fix to the python3 version of the colorpicker dependency. See here for that. 

Thanks, on Kodi 18 changed Menu Bar colour and Glow Bars for Menu Bar, in choose skin colors.

For Kodi 19 I guess colorpicker will be fixed at a future date.

@Jeffers24,

You can choose from color presets, or define your own custom colors with colorpicker (which only gets installed when doing this). This is the same for both Kodi 18 and Kodi 19.

Hi,

how can I hide/remove date and time from Home?
I do not see anything in Home.xml

In   addons/skin.aeon.nox.silvo/16x9/Includes_Home.xml   look for control id 9025. There's entries for horizontal and vertical menus, just comment out whichever applies to you. It will look like this:

@mikeSiLVO , been a long time since I needed your help. Still using Silvo and is always getting better. Did run into a problem though with Version 7.0.9. Running a library of local content from a external drive. All links from this source are added to the library and functioning. Where there is a problem is when I use a widget to display the titles. When setting up a widget to display the titles I choose Select Widget/Video Library/Movies. There is no option for just plain Titles so the best option from here is the 2nd instance of Random Movies. It works and the graphics are displayed but, it will only display a max of 20 panels. Definitely not good when you need to see many more than that. ------- Now, should I instead choose Select Widget/Video Library/Sources and then my Movies folder, I now have all the panels, but no metadata or graphics and only the filename is displayed. I have been using the library function for years successfully but this new version of Silvo I am struggling with. It appears to be your end but should you think of something I have not done correctly I would appreciate the help. Please have a look if you would. Should you have to do some coding, can I ask for a addition? Sure would like to have a option to display a alternative .jpg of our choosing should there be no images available. Thanks Mike, Appreciate all your fine work through the years...

Easiest option is make a smart playlist and add that to the widget..
save as allmovies.xsp and put in your video playlists folder.
you can change limit to what you want depending how many movies you plan to have..
you can change also order direction etc...in this playlist they are shown alphapetical order ascending..
Also random movies will work but shows movies in random order..you just need to adjust limit in playlist so it shows more then 20 movies from skin extras folder..
Or better just create your own from kodi in playlists menu..you have the option to create smart playlist..

For Movies:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" standalone="yes" ?>
<smartplaylist type="movies">
    <name>All movies</name>
    <match>all</match>
    <limit>250</limit>
    <order direction="ascending">sorttitle</order>
</smartplaylist>

For TvShows:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" standalone="yes" ?>
<smartplaylist type="tvshows">
    <name>All Tv Shows</name>
    <match>all</match>
    <limit>250</limit>
    <order direction="ascending">sorttitle</order>
</smartplaylist>

Can a 2.35:1 version of this skin be made for home cinema scope screens? Love the skin amazing work

Hi,

Is it possible to hide channel number inside LiveTV?Thanks

(2020-04-26, 22:24)Atamans Wrote: [ -> ]Hi. All
 for some time (for a long time) I have problems downloading covers, clear art etc ... in the music player section
Artist Slideshow, works as he wants (more does not work than works)

Can I fix it somehow, or is it the fault of all kodi in the nox skin

In the first picture the same artist has the same settings

two more for skin nox, I had a black screen and no covers, no slideshow, just everything default

As far as I remember, this skin in kodi 17.6 did not have such problems

(this is radio, stream url)

thanks.

Skin doesn't download CD covers from the internet so your radio stream add-on would need to supply the cover.

(2020-04-29, 03:45)Cromseth Wrote: [ -> ]Amazing skin! This is my default now and I have still many options to try...

I am a fan of "List" views for movies, and I like your "RightList" because I can have full audio/subs info (not english native so its important to me be able to see if the movie is dubbed or not in my language) meanwhile "LowList" only shows the "best" audio format (not language).

The view is great, but I think that the "year" field that is showed in "default" mode could be as in the "LowList", where if the item is a movieset, then it shows an icon of discs, and not the year of the "last" movie of the set, as is showed in "RightList" view. I think the discs icon has more sense that the year of just one movie of the set. It would be great to have the same behavior in both list views. I add a screenshot of both views to help explaining...

First "LowList" view whith icon when movieset:

And now the "RightList" view with year in movieset:

By the way, I found an inconsistency in "RightList": when the "popup info" is enabled it shows year and rating in movieset like as single movies. The info in popup should be the same as when "default" mode, not popup, showing number of movies and genre... as in my first image.

I dont use the popup but I think that is a little bug.

Thanks in advance and congrats for the skin!

EDIT: The "liveposters" (dont remember the name in english) background to moviesets and playlist is a genius thing...

Leftover remnants from switching to skin based set info. Will be fixed on Git sometime today.

I just switched from Phenomenal skin to this one so maybe I’m doing something wrong - but I can’t seem to be able to “lock” a display for pages.
When I go to my library I like to watch it in the “lower list” display form because it has info and stuff I like.
But
It always switches back to regular list view..

any idea?

99.9% of the time this is add-on related. Add-ons should be coded to set a viewmode in their settings.

I'll look into adding a setting to bypass the extra search options and go straight to Kodi search.

Is there a way of telling your skin that my .iso files are 4K HVEC? It seems to be defaulting to DVD as the disc type.

Hmm, now that you mention it... Maybe I should change it to BluRay instead of DVD as the default for .iso files?

Everyone with DVD .iso files will need to add that to their filenames tho

(2020-04-14, 03:45)Jachin99 Wrote: [ -> ]"mikeSiLVO" @ I might have found a bug in the way Aeon Nox Silvo handles remote keypresses while the video info dialogue box is up. When I watch any video then bring up video info by pressing the Info button on my remote or the letter I on my keyboard, the skin doesn't respond to any shortcuts until I close the video info dialog. So for instance lets say I move the mouse or press info to bring up video info, then I want to go to the TV Gude, or Recorded TV, those overlays don't appear, and I have to close the video info overlay for those buttons to work. I can completely document the issue, and provide a PR if necessary. If you have some quick fix in mind I can try that as well. I don't get the same behavior in the estuary skin. Thanks.

I just tested Estuary and no keyboard shortcuts work when DialogVideoInfo is open.

My album cover art is being cut-off on the left side of the artwork (it isn't square, or it is being stretched horizontally within the square texture placeholder for cover art) during the 'Now Playing' portion of the skin. The same album cover art is displayed perfectly in all other instances on-screen. It is just this one instance ('Now Playing' -- which is the main view) where the album cover art is "mangled". Are there some values or parameters or XMLs someone can direct me to in order to modify this? I posted images of the issue in my original question here. Thanks in advance.

Skin is designed for 16x9 resolution only.

Thanks for the answer.

This is pvr.simple + radio playlist
The skin is completely not adapted to internet radio
No name of program being played, no artist, no titles

Th is it possible for you to do this, I am very happy with this skin, but it lacks some small amenities (Pvr.IsPlayingRadio, Player.IsInternetStream) title,artist.


I did a little bit of small things but I would prefer more professional support.

Some little support for downloading covers etc ..
with the option of turning it on and off would be great

Thank you.

@mikeSiLVO - Hey Mike,

Hope all is well wit you. I forgot to mention to you a while back. Maybe at some point you can make the icons smaller for example in the YouTube view they are huge. Anyway, I just thought I would mention it to you in case I forgot.

Hi,

i still have a issue with the Audio Flag. All Flags are shown, but only the DTS-X Flag is still missing in the movies.
How can i solve it?

The movies are in separate folders on a Synology NAS. The name of the folder is not include the audio codec, but i think it is not necessary, because the other audio flags are still shown.

I scrapped with Tiny media manager and the DTSx logo is still there.
I put some tags in the NFO also (DTSX;DTS-X;DTS:X, etc.)
The NFO also includes the information of DTSx.

...
<audio>
        <codec>DTS_X</codec>
        <language/>
        <channels>8</channels>
      </audio>
...

I use Aeon Nox Silvo v7.0.9 with Leia v 18.3. on a Himedia Android

Thanks for your help.

best regards.
