Indeed. Thanks.

I'm already looking at it and wondering why would you want to reduce label length when increasing font size :-)

If you mean the plot description on the movies/tv shows list that's easy to customize. Edit font.xml, search for the following line:

Code:

<fontset id="Arial nocaps" unicode="true" idloc="31391">

Then below this line search for:

Code:

<font>
      <name>InfoPlot</name>
      <filename>Arial.ttf</filename>
      <size>31</size>
      <aspect>1.0</aspect>
          <linespacing>1.0</linespacing>
    </font>

Adjust the size, aspect and linespacing here. (It will take effect after choosing reload skin or restarting xbmc) The InfoPlot font is used on the plot description in the movie/tv listings, in the full screen plot description (pressing info from a movie listing) and also in the full screen video info display. (pressing info from a playing video) From memory it is not used anywhere else.

If you're only editing it for yourself you can't get into much trouble - just keep a backup of Font.xml. It took me quite a while to figure out what all of the various fonts tags are used for (and I may have missed one or two locations) so when changing fonts in one location in the skin you have to be wary of the same tag affecting a font elsewhere in another layout in such a way that text no longer fits or spills beyond the boundaries. Sometimes a font tag size is a compromise between two different locations in the skin.

I could have gone a little bit bigger with the plot font but I was trying to keep it looking readable yet proportionate on both a 22" bedroom TV and a 32" living room TV.

OK, I have pulled PR. I have made some more room for the labels as well. Please, test it out if it needs some more fine tuning.

A big thank you to pecinko and other devs for creating such an awesome skin.

I'm having problems with the Recently Added items in the Movies shelf not displaying the cover artwork. Instead, it just displays the placeholder image. The cover art for items in the shelf on TV Shows works fine, and when I switch to the Confluence skin I can see the cover art in the Movies shelf fine too.

I tried rolling back to version 1.2.6 then 1.0.9 to see if it would bring them back, but no luck. I also uninstalled Amber and installed it again but still no show.

A copy of my latest XBMC log is here: http://xbmclogs.com/show.php?id=104998

Any tips, suggestions and compliments on my good looks are much appreciated!

I am also having this issue.

To resolve I need to go into 'show tv/movie information' > select artwork and add the cover art to all available options
A quick restart and the cover art now shows correctly - however still a nuisance for large library collections
