- The Category widget. At first I had only grey tiles, but I got to the settings and add Movie Genre Icons, but it only work for categories like New Releases, Critically-acclaimed. I still have some grey tiles for actual movie genres, like action or science fiction. Maybe there is something to set that I missed... When I try to add an addon in fanart for movie genre in the settings, I can’t put anything.
The categories you mentioned that are working are not from a resource, they're built-in, and will show regardless of movie genre icon.
for the actual genres you need to set bingie movie genre icons as a resource in 'movie genre icons' under resources (general skin settings).
If that doesn't work, maybe your genres are named in french? can you check? (i thought genres are always english but not sure honestly)

- I didn’t found the option to random certain widgets like the Collections widget that I added. I have all my collections alphabeticly, and I would prefer to have them randomized, like in the confluence skin.
That's not possible, because you're setting the widgets from whatever source you want, and use skin shortcuts to set them up in the skin.
If you want random you'll have to use a smartplaylist ordered by 'random' or a bypass make an empty tvshow/movie smartplaylist and then go to mixed in skin helper widgets -> playlists -> choose the playlist you want movie/tvshow and the other as empty and then you can set order to random.
If i'd write the skin from scratch i wouldn't use Skin Shortcuts in the first place, but to change this for titan would be somewhere between impossible to really massive change.

- It seems since 0.3 I can’t change the views of the widgets one by one. I saw the option to change them all, it seems to have disappeared from the shortcut settings. I really loved the possibility to have variety of views for widgets.
I wrote about it a few places (also in the third post of this thread under side notes).
Basically with the vertical fixed focus in bingie layout you can't change layout for specific widgets only as a whole, because that would mess with that feature....
If you disable that, you could still have it like in v0.3.

- There is no way to make a different configuration in hubs. When I go the movie titles screen and change the skin to display posters instead of landscapes, it will impact alls the hubs. It would be very cool to be able to set poster in movies, landscape in tv shows, or the other way around or in other screens...
Hubs were always set by the default layout set in homelayout settings... i get what you suggest but knowing the code it would be a pain in the ARSE to implement.

- And the last is not a problem, more of a matter of curiosity: I saw the font list and I wonder why you choosed to not use the Gotham font for all text ? It’s the Netflix official font and I was suprised to not see it on your skin.
I'm good with code, not so much with other stuff If you have the font and it's legal to use, supply and i'll happily change it.

That’s it, apart from theses minor trouble, it’s a beautifull, fully fonctionnal and customizable skin, all what I look for. Again, great work !
Thanks again mate.

Oh and one last thing, who is up to replace the sound effect on the splash screen with the voice of Cartman.dos imitating the famous Netflix’s BABOOM introduction ?

If you want my voice that would cost you buddy :}
We couldn't just take netflix intro-fx sound because (1) Copy rights (2) create a distinction/uniqueness (3) finding GOOD & FREE-to-use fx sounds is painful

Since I don't have a proper PVR and my ability to test this stuff is very limited, if you can try this change and report if it solves will help.

First, you can always downgrade manually from my git repo.
But I don't believe it has something to do with the update beside mere chance...Do you have forced views on?
If anyone else encountered something like this please do tell.

I can set the slimmenu to be color-customizable...btw it's already got some transparency to it...

BTW - I don't know how many know this:
In bingie layout, the image shown in spotlight is set by the FANART of an item (or extrafanart if enabled).
and the image in the widget itself is:
1) if there's a LANDSCAPE img available then it would set that
2) if there's no LANDSCAPE img it will put the same fanart as in spotlight AND a clearlogo (if available) on top of it

So the best way to set up artwork is having landscape (a image with title) and fanart (an image without title), that would look best. have a title on the widget and different images for widget/spotlight image.
It can be edited in the skin with artwork beef (context-menu->manage-> AB options) or if you use a manager like Tiny Media Manager you can pre-select the fanart/landscape and when scraping to library it will be set up that way, and you won't have to do it each installation/within the skin itself.

1) can you edit your post and use paste.kodi.tv instead?
2) do you want to send the PR on github?

(2019-04-07, 20:11)MovieMan123 Wrote: Second point. I don't get it. When I installed Bingie it started with a screen: "do you want to set the widgets to default?", so I did. But I cannot find these widgets, they are not under Configure shortcuts. 

Thinking of it now, i believe this is because of Skin shortcuts trying to migrate menu from another skin/setup to current skin (there's a setting to share/disable sharing menu between skins).

I have problems too but I didn't tied that with the skin. What is making you think that ?
