Good news Gade, thank you, waiting for the update

You need to have the settings like this:
ENABLE music visualization / artist fanart in the background
ENABLE both music visualization and artist fanart in the background
ENABLE fanart slideshow
.I think I was expecting something different, nevermind...

I see in the new version Underground support is dropped but I would really like getting that back as there is still an add-on where you can fill in your own API key so Underground works. I need Underground because that way I can get the forecast of my own weather station on Kodi. On other skins like Confluence and Transparency Wunderground is still supported with things like 10 day forecast and weekend. Can't this also been done for Rapier because I really like all other things the skin offers.

Hi flabbamann.
If you don't wanna wait, you can download latest Rapier here. Random albums widget have not been added yet.
Milkdrop is a fullscreen visualization. You have to switch to another visualization for the artist slideshow fanart background to work.

Hi mdvries.
Support for Weather Underground has been removed, as the add-on is marked as broken and deprecated.
Use the weather add-on OpenWeatherMap Extended instead. Rapier have full support and it is an even better add-on.
You should be able to use your own weather station here as well.

Hi westcoastbias.
Yup, you bet.
To do this you have to deactivate the regular General category and create the same category as a custom category. You can add the same submenus etc. and add a panel with recently added Movies or whatever you want.
If you need the focus/unfocus images, you can find them using the Github link from the first post. They are in the media/homecategories/english folder.
Is it only possible to have one widget/panel at a time on the custom screens?

Yes, and the same for all other hardcoded categories (except tv shows).
You will get both the recently added widget + in progress/featured widget for most options.
RE: [RELEASE] Rapier 7.1.0 for Kodi 14.x Helix - SheHateMe - 2015-01-16
Nevermind...not fixed.
For some reason, the skin decided to stop showing Fanart backgrounds for my movie category. The fanart is downloaded for sure because I see it when I view my movies. Where is the skin storing this fanart?
When I go to "Backgrounds" in the options and set Movies to Fanart, there is a just a blank window there.
RE: [RELEASE] Rapier 7.1.0 for Kodi 14.x Helix - Gade - 2015-01-20
A new update is available. This is a pretty huge update includes bugfixing and new features - some are described below. As usual, please report if you experience any bugs or have feature requests
Rapier 7.2.0 is available through the official XBMC repository!
This update is installed automatically.
If this is not the case, you can download it here.
I'm very sorry, but all paths to custom categories and submenus set using favourites have been broken with this update. A bug going back several years have finally been fixed. This unfortunately requires you to set the paths to the custom categories and submenus again, but only if they are set using favourites. Only paths are affected, which means that labels, icons, category images, panels (widgets) and backgrounds are not at all harmed. Also paths set using presets, scripts or add-ons are not affected.
This also introduces a new feature to play playlists directly from the home screen.
If you use the feature to export/import skin setting, you have to manually install the add-on script.toolbox using this link, as the function have been moved to this script.

Awesome! Thanks for the update Gade!
I especially like this point:
Quote:- Added selectable playlists (music, videos) to the presets dialog when creating custom categories or submenus, and the choice to either play or enter them.So now there is no need for me to mess around with the xml files anymore

Thanks a lot
Exactly why I did it.
Before most could be done using favourites, but not playing playlists directly from the home screen. Now everything is possible using both presets or favourites.
RE: [RELEASE] Rapier 7.2.0 for Kodi 14.x Helix - kupi - 2015-01-22
Hey, I saw you also implemented my wish for a "featured" widget, awesome! already dug out some long forgotten goodies
Ome more thing: When you watch a tv show/movie and press esc, you get back to the home screen with the movie playing in the background. Is it possible that there is no way to get back to fullscreen mode (without using a remote/remote-app)?
RE: [RELEASE] Rapier 7.2.0 for Kodi 14.x Helix - Gade - 2015-01-22
Hi kupi.
Sounds great - glad you like it.
If playing video in the background in the home screen, you can press either Backspace or Tab on a keyboard to get back to fullscreen video.
Tab works in all windows going to fullscreen video/music or leaving it.
In most windows (but not home) there should also be a fullscreen button in the top menu bar.

Hey.
I really liked your skin. It has many awesome features and looks very nice and clean.
I have just one question/suggestion would it be possible to show DialogFullScreenInfo for 5-10 seconds after new video starts and then fade it out? I would be fine with hardcoding it in, just don't have time to study the whole skinning structure.

Hi Baylor and welcome to the forums.
Thanks a bunch for the nice words
I really can't think of a way to do this properly. Do you know of other skins with this feature?
Cheers
Gade
EDIT: I thought of sort of a way to do this. This will show the info from DialogFullScreenInfo.xml the first 8 seconds of a new video. The only problem is that DialogFullScreenInfo.xml will display on top of this if activated.
Copy this to line 6 of VideoFullscreen.xml:

Hey Gade. Got 2 quick questions for.
1. How does the Random and Last Items script work? I was hoping the script would just add a "Play Random Movie" button somewhere, but I don't see anything like that anywhere. I tried reading through some of his thread about it, but I still don't really understand how it is supposed to work. How do I get it to play a random movie?
2. Do you have any plans on supporting Phil's extendedinfo script? Specifically the portion that shows an actor's biography and filmography when clicking on them from the cast list. I'm thinking a simple info window would fit pretty well with the rest of the interface. Maybe the actors photo top left, the IMDB bio under the photo and then the IMBD filmography list on the right side. Nothing too fancy.
