When theres only a few items in a widget, for example only 2 TV Shows in Kodi library and used as a widget, is there a way to display only the two items instead of duplicating them over and over?? I think it would just look better if it just showed them without doubling them up across the entire widget. Like in this pic I have two TV Shows in a library widget, but instead of just displaying the two shows, it duplicates them across the whole widget...Image
@jdig4240 , do you have autoscroll enabled for that widget? If you do, then I have to use a wraplist instead of a fixed list, and the side effect is that the items are replicated if there are too few to cover the width of the list.  If you want to just see the two shows, disable auto-scrolling for that widget, like in this example:

Which results in this widget:

Please let me know if this answers your question.  Thanks.

Thats it!! Thank you. Figured it was something simple i was overlooking.

i found a little something regarding the info dialogue. if you get the info on an actor like this

you then close the popup and want to get the info on another or even the same actor again none of the posters and thumbs are showing

Could you add the ability to remove the title text indicated in the attached pic? It seems unnecessary to me giving all the other titles.

bsoriano, is there an option to choose a default focused home screen item. I think the only way is to make the default focused menu is to manually be in the third spot? Is this correct? Some skins have the option to choose which home screen menu is default focused.

@jdig4240 , no, there is not.  I would not know how to do this, since the menu is completely customizable, and I do not know, from the skin side, which menu item is in which position, or how many menu items there are.  As far as I know, only skins which are not based on script.skinshortcuts for menu configuration offer the option to choose the default focused menu item.  The advantages, in my opinion, of having completely customizable menu/submenu/widgets, far outweigh the capability of setting a default focused menu item.

Having said that, if you want Amber to start in a specific menu item, make sure it is the third item on your menu, for horizontal menu, the fourth item, for vertical menu, or the sixth item for static vertical menu.  Also, for vertical menu only, you can choose to always start at the first menu item.

@tcclives23 , I will add this option; I agree with you that the title in the bottom is redundant in that view.

@billyrene , please try the latest from GitHub.  I just fixed this issue.  Thank you for reporting it.

bsoriano, another question. Weather widgets. Is there a way to extend how many days are shown? It seems it only displays 5 days, also only displays 5 hours with hourly forecast,  is this a limitation of the weather service, or the skin?
**Edit. It must be a skin limitation, if i switch to estuary, more days show and many more hours.

@tcclives23 , I thought about this better and decided that it is indeed redundant in all cases where the view is Netflix-style, so I have removed it.  The changed are already on GitHub (Matrix only).  Now the view looks like this:

@jdig4240 , please try the latest from GitHub.  I have fixed this issue.  You might have to delete the file "script-skinshortcuts-includes.xml" from the skin's 1080i folder in order for the change to take effect.  Please let me know if indeed the issue is fixed.  Thanks.
