This is what I mean by that. I would prefer it if when a newly added episode shows up in my "On Deck" section, instead of the episode automatically starting playback when selected, I would like it to go to the "Episodes" page for that show. That way I can see information about the show/season, or choose a different episode, without having to leave the home widget, go to my TV Shows library, and then find the show, season, and episode. And for movies, I would like it to go to the information page for that movie. This might be a bigger deal for me because I'm using my shield tv, not a computer, so I'm using a remote not a mouse.

Lastly, I was wondering if there is a way to put like a little icon over the corner of the poster (or whatever fan art you use) of items that are unwatched. Plex does this and its just kinda nice to have that as a simple way to see if something has been watched.

Thank you for sharing your work and allowing us to take advantage of it. I do have a couple questions for my use case, and was hoping someone could help me out. I have 0 actual coding experience, so please bare with me lol. I do fine with like tinkering around though, and am not completely incompetent. Here is my situation: I have Kodi downloaded on my Nvidia Shield TV, and have configured the PlexKodiConnect add-on so I can watch all my local media through that and still use Plex (works great with your skin for anyone looking to do the same). My media is on an Unraid server. 

My questions. So first thing, when I opened the app today, it looks like I lost all my saved settings like my home menu, library viewtypes, custom colors, etc. So my first question would be, did I miss a setting, or is there something I should do to prevent this next time? Not the end of the world, and I will probably change more colors now, but something I would like to avoid in the future still haha. 

Next, I was wondering if there was a way to change the mapping when you select titles from the main Spotlight menu and the library menus. This is what I mean by that. I would prefer it if when a newly added episode shows up in my "On Deck" section, instead of the episode automatically starting playback when selected, I would like it to go to the "Episodes" page for that show. That way I can see information about the show/season, or choose a different episode, without having to leave the home widget, go to my TV Shows library, and then find the show, season, and episode. And for movies, I would like it to go to the information page for that movie. This might be a bigger deal for me because I'm using my shield tv, not a computer, so I'm using a remote not a mouse.

Next, I was wondering if there was any way to show the available quality of the file on the information page. On a spotlight menu it will show "HD" and "2.0" or "5.1", but it doesn't show up on the information page, or any view type that is not a spotlight. I have a 4k and 1080 version of quite a few movies and shows (4k for me watching local, 1080 for streaming with Plex), and it would be nice if I could see that more easily too.

Whether any of this is possible, plausible, or pathetic, thank you for your time, and thank you for the skin! It's the best I've come across

1. When changing the footer background color, it defaults to white in the settings UI and in addons. I set it to black (ff000000) and that change is reflected in the settings.xml:
"<setting id="color_footer_backgroundpanel" type="string">ff000000</setting>"
But in the settings UI it shows:


And in addons, TMDBHelper for example, there's a white footer (shown here right under Trakt link):


2. A similar issue happens with Watched Indicator Circle is in progress color. Here I set it to a dark red (ff8b0000) and ui shows cyan:


3. I can't find where to change the color of the busy spinner or the Spotlight home screen widget label separator, they both seem hard coded to cyan:


Thank you!

xml:
<variable name="color_footer_backgroundpanel">

		<value condition="![Control.IsVisible(58) | Control.IsVisible(503) | Control.IsVisible(504) | Control.IsVisible(520)] + Skin.String(color_footer_backgroundpanel)">$INFO[Skin.String(color_footer_backgroundpanel)]</value>

		<value condition="![Control.IsVisible(58) | Control.IsVisible(503) | Control.IsVisible(504) | Control.IsVisible(520)] + !Skin.String(color_footer_backgroundpanel)">color_footer_backgroundpanel</value>

		<value condition="[Control.IsVisible(58) | Control.IsVisible(503) | Control.IsVisible(504) | Control.IsVisible(520)]">$VAR[color_spotlightlib_flags_backgroundpanel]</value>

	</variable>

I've got one other issue of color hard coding on the Spotlight home screen that I found since my last post.
In swan_home.xml (line 104) the big label for the home entries that shows above the widgets is set to red.  For now I've set it to "<textcolor>$VAR[color_home_accent]</textcolor>" to better match my theme, but that will get overwritten on future skin updates and need to be manually edited again. Could you set it to a variable of some kind for future updates?


Also of minor note, lines 505-507 looks like it's got a misplaced/missing comment tag? Doesn't seem to affect anything functionally:
=============
    home use texture_home_background_layer3 if exsist
    lib use  texture_global_background_layer3 if exist - NOTE - temp - no custom spotligth overlay - check if need ?
<!--     temp disabled layer3 spotligth, need custom overlay or let it be  -->
=============

Thanks again!

I am still kind of hung up on the play vs info screen thing though. The solution you provided of changing my settings to make puling up the info page the default option does work for movies, but it still isnt quite what I'm looking for for TV shows. It's still impossible to go to a different episode or different season from the home screen. I still have to go to TV shows widget, and then go all the way to the show itself. 

If there is no solution then thats obviously fine, thank you for all your work and help. But is it maybe possible to add an option on the context menu that maps to the Episode page? I think it would seriously be so helpful. Most other media clients that I have used actually don't default to play, they take you to some sort of info page. And once again, I'm not super educated with stuff like this, so I apologize in advance if I'm asking the impossible. Just trying to think it through lol. 

One last thought, now that the movies info page is being brought up for me, I thought it might be cool to have a spotlight movie view. Have you thought about doing that? I think most of the information would be similar, but it would be cool to see the fanarts and stuff instead of the default background that pops up for the info page.

Thank you again!

Is it possible to amend the playlist editor and include a remove rule button?

At present only option is to delete the playlist and recreate if you only want to edit the rules, or change to default Kodi skin and edit playlists there.

The only thing I still don't like are the thumbs in the next episode widgets.
In Estuary Mod V2 there is an option not to show these thumbs.
Instead you will see a Landscape image. Would it be possible to have such an option in your skin?
Attached is an image of the setting in Estuary Mod V2.

thanks, there should be a kodi core setting.
settings - media - library : on the right you'll found 'show information for unwatched items' .

does this give the wished effect?

on todo is currently just an option for the home widgets.

for lib views i'll stick with the thumbs.

sidenote: i remembered the request a while back ;-)
