Thx for the log.

I will need your help again. I got an answer from Marcel, he's digging it but I'm not able to test on android devices.

Can you go to :

/storage/emulated/0/Android/data/org.xbmc.kodi/files/.kodi/addons/skin.kover/shortcuts/ and rename the file overrides.xml to overrides.bak (to rename it back after testing)

Download this :

https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B0PL_QSOtQ-ZVkdjNUFCSkVVOFk/view?usp=sharing

And place it the same place

/storage/emulated/0/Android/data/org.xbmc.kodi/files/.kodi/addons/skin.kover/shortcuts/

When you're done, start KODI and try to enter again to Default widgets. Let me know if something is displaying.
When test is done, you can delete overrides.xml and rename again overrides.bak to overrides.xml.

Thx for your help.

Sadly true, you can't. It can produce too much important breakages for this to be allowed :/ (ex, menu switching from left to top to whatever during scrolling main menu making the navigation impossible).

I understand, and there 's no worries, I will not give you more hassle. It is already beautiful and amazing, this is , the nitpicking.

I tried to make view for the widget (Menu Home Horizintal only). A widget as I like. Here is a small Tuto to understand how to build.

A few screenshots of text alignment issues, this is from the latest github as of 8:00PM EST Feb 15:

https://anonmgur.com/up/9f617a4c6c113f458a57e4c554437c9e.png

Also, a question about home menu, I got it setup vertical. I have a videos source, is it possible to show the list in files view as a widget/submenu on the home screen? Example I have Guitar home menu item: https://anonmgur.com/up/f658c9dd94189a0712e8c88d1e351e9a.png How can I show the files inside that folder right there on home screen? They are not scanned into library, only files.

edit: A request, if possible to get customlist view for Poster to have no thumbnail (text only)? I really prefer art for show/season list but for episode list no thumbnail, always damn spoilers in the friggin thumbnail Confused

edit2: Sorry! Big Grin I've been tinkering, wondering what's wrong with my Now Playing bloc. Here is how I set it up: https://anonmgur.com/up/200bb2c40bc8de1d6febfd14e70d5bde.png Here is how it's showing in the viewtype: https://anonmgur.com/up/8c5a415144085b2381f62dc793daf9f5.png It is not correctly aligned in that top right 4-part section, it's playing in the middle and right 3 columns, while the video is still playing fullscreen in the background as well, so the video in the viewtype is like an overlay while still playing background. Moving/resizing doesn't seem to help as I've tried several alignments and resizes Sad Guess I need a way to stop the video playing in the background when in the viewtype and only play in the desired area set by the viewtype?

Yep. That works. I just see three entries then: Weather, Systeminfo and Default Dark.

Can you please go to skin settings > import / export > Backup all viewtypes (without Home menu)
and share me the zip file so I can check all your settings. Thx

It's doable, but ATM, I'm focusing on bugs. I want to release a stable V1 ASAP.

I see on your config screenshot it's showing : Y:A X:B [X2]
The value under brackets is Height x Width meaning the height value is missing (don't know how that's possible).
Can you try to resize it again until you get [1X2]

Thx

No prob. Hope you will find a solution. I woudl like to switch the widget of the program section in main menu to "android apps" (its a separate programm group in Kodi only on Android devices). But I cannot access it since this section - and also Favorites, which would do as a workaround - are usually listed under "default widgets". But that is not high priority, so take your time.

Thanks for all your support!

@Reynald: Thanks for providing those custom views. I have made use of two of them. Looking very nice! I just have to take care when updating the skin that they will not be overwritten. Maybe when the skin is finished from Jayz2k's perspective he will come up with an easier way of importing/exporting custom views ;-)


RE: KOver : Customizable [Kodi 16] - Jayz2K - 2016-02-16

@fantasticn :

Fix for Default widget is now part of Marcel's investigations. I'm confident he will find a fix quite soon Wink
However, since he pushed versions those last days, not sure it will reach repo very soon. Let's see.

Regarding the custom lists overriding issues, it should be fixed with latest git.
I expanded the custom lits amount to 6 and KOver won't be provided anymore with any dummy custom lists.
You will now have to copy paste them in 16x9 folder and KOver will check if they are present or not. If they are, they will be selectable in the Designer.

They MUST be named :

Designer_CustomList1.xml
Designer_CustomList2.xml
Designer_CustomList3.xml
Designer_CustomList4.xml
Designer_CustomList5.xml
Designer_CustomList6.xml

For skinners / modders : the include header MUST always be matchin the xml number :

Designer_CustomList1.xml : <include name="Custom1">
Designer_CustomList2.xml : <include name="Custom2">
Designer_CustomList3.xml : <include name="Custom3">
Designer_CustomList4.xml : <include name="Custom4">
Designer_CustomList5.xml : <include name="Custom5">
Designer_CustomList6.xml : <include name="Custom6">

TAKE CARE THAT ALL THOSE ARE CASE SENSITIVE !
AFTER COPYING A CUSTOM LIST, YOU NEED TO RESTART KODI


It also fixes @colbert cosmetic issues

Cheers

I made a Kover update with the Custom news, and they are not read by Kover. Operating in the Builder, but invisible in views.
