Anything i can do to make the bar a bit wider?

Great skin though, my new default

Any one else seeing this issue?

what is your screen resolution?
any way, I will try to fix it next update.

From what i understand you've changed the skin to change from RTL to LTR based on the users language only I really hate this, It took a while but I got used to my menus and lists being on the right, it looks a lot better to me and I've grown to love it. I've only just updated the skin however and now i dislike it as the menu is now on my left and i spent ages looking for a way to change it back. Can you please add an option in the skin settings to manually select which side you want the menu? like the setting that changes from vertical menu to horizontal. In the mean time is there a file i can manually edit to switch the position back to the right?
Edit: Nevermind, i managed to install a previous version and it looks nice again. Still if there is some was to keep the RTL then id be happy to update.


RE: Phenomenal Skin - tomer953 - 2016-03-30

I'll consider to add setting that let you choose layout, but the RTL version is not only about menu sides, it's fully aligned to the right, so lists and texts will be aligned to the right too (as you already used too).
if you are none RTL language user, and you prefer that way - I might add this setting.

but - I'm thinking that it better to you to get used to the new layout, it's more native to LTR users, I agree it could take some time, but it's the right way to show the texts and lists...

My menu changed from ride side to left side last night.
Cant work out how or why.

Only displaying English both times.

The skin was originally build only for RTL languages (that's orientation wise, the menus are translated to all languages regardless of the orinentation).
Tomer added a LTR orientation to the skin - and made the skin switching from RTL to LTR depended on the kodi system language

Yes i prefer RTL, it just looks better to me. As for getting used to it being LTR, sure except that you've now taken away a unique point that drew me to this skin in the first place and i might as well get used to one of the other skins with LTR menus. I just liked the simplicity and customizability of the menus in this skin.


RE: Phenomenal Skin - tomer953 - 2016-03-30

@jasonjkay, I added a new option to "prefer RTL layout", please test latest git.

for the rest of you, It would be great if you can also test latest git, since I changed a lot... including almost every single dialog in the skin, and the top-bar, and more...


RE: Phenomenal Skin - jasonjkay - 2016-03-30

ah github, it took a second to realise what you meant. Installed to the latest and quickly switched to LTR mode and it works great. I like the top bar, very stylish however the little weather icon keeps flickering between a sun and cloud. I don't know if that's because i haven't restarted the computer or set up a weather add-on yet. I'll try both.
Edit: restarting didn't work, the weather icon is still going crazy however after setting up a weather add-on it settled down to showing a clear moon and the time. A tittle annoying but at least it finally motivated me to set it up. Oh and thank you for adding way more colours to the theme selector, i kept having to add manual colours before.


RE: Phenomenal Skin - tomer953 - 2016-03-31

ok, I think I fixed the weather problem, I will updated the git later today. thx.
and I glad you like the new style...


RE: Phenomenal Skin - hn3012 - 2016-03-31

Hi love this skin
also love the new LTR mode except for two minor things
one: the scroll-bar is on the wrong side for LTR should be on the right side not left
second : that one have to go all the way to right to activate the options menu, it should be to the left like confluence and in RTL mode
Also is there gonna bee a option to change the opacity of the new top bar in the future?
Thanks

Sorry, but I disagree.

I disagree again, I think it's need to be in the opposite location from the list, in fanart view (the default view of the skin)

Actually I can add this, but i'm trying to avoid too much settings... do you think it's too dark? I can reduce the opacity a little bit.

Wasn't there a opacity setting for the top bar before, or am i just remembering wrong? Anyway a custom setting to change the opacity and colour would be good as it is a little dark and would look cool with my backgrounds showing through. I am glad you are trying to keep the settings to a minimum however as I can easily become overwhelmed by too many options which really puts me off. There are other skins that are just full of options that left my head spinning.

There is. I'm on 2.8.0 and it's on the Design screen, second item in the Top Bar section.


RE: Phenomenal Skin - tomer953 - 2016-04-01

there are some elements that I can't let you set the opacity, the new top bar is very complicated, and it dynamically changed due to many conditions (weather is set\rss is visible\library has content and more...)
the reason of the main "tile" (the one with the time) is being solid black, its because that he covers behind him the others 'tiles', so if he will be transparent it will be ugly to see the animations and hidden object behind...
I checked the new top bar on 3-4 different tv's, and it's look fine to me, as I said, If you can point on some part being too solid, I can reduce a little bit from the opacity but not the main one.
