Arctic Fuse 2 - jurialmunkey - 2024-10-02 It's been a minute... I've been quietly working on a second iteration of Arctic Fuse. AF2 significantly simplifies Arctic Fuse with the aim to provide a more "classic" Kodi experience. In particular, that means it (finally) brings some of those long requested features such as proper wall views, simple home screen widgets, and info dialogs with big poster art. Some more experimental features have been dropped in the process. I've had to make some tough decisions. That means it won't please everyone but I think most people will find the simplification generally welcome and will see that it makes a lot sense in terms of a smoother and more consistent experience. Installation The skin and its required dependencies are available on my 3rd party alpha repository. Requires Kodi Omega or higher.

RE: Arctic Fuse 2 - Rinicko100 - 2024-10-02 Looks amazing 👏👏👏 RE: Arctic Fuse 2 - Romik2505 - 2024-10-05 I'm eager to test and hope it will be quick to use RE: Arctic Fuse 2 - kenshi_blind - 2024-10-06 Can't wait to try this new iteration of Fuse, it definitely looks more streamlined which is awesome RE: Arctic Fuse 2 - Adamosborne83 - 2024-10-06 Thanks as always J, knew there would have been a reason for the quiet. Look forward to testing. RE: Arctic Fuse 2 - TimboZero - 2024-10-06 @jurialmunkey, long time fan and been using your AH2 since I got a Vero 5 with enough power to use it without slow downs and it’s a beautiful skin. Just 3 mins into a first look and minimal (added 2 home menus, removed one) tinkering, and love the skin a lot and maybe enough to convert me from AH2 to AF2 today. It’s that good. For those that are curious but haven’t tried it, it’s (hate to compare as it’s unfair) like JM had written Estuary and put his usual customisation and widgets into it. If you like how clean Estuary is but wish it was more flexible don’t think twice add this skin! @JM sorry for that clumsy comparison but I hope it gets you a few converts as you historically deserve more props and for this skin deserve a lot of users/followers! RE: Arctic Fuse 2 - Rf67 - 2024-10-06 The skin is amazing. I have 2 Kodi setups on my Shield, one with AF 1 and Fenlight widgets, the other is this AF2 with TMDB Helper widgets. Both beautifull and full of resources. Many thanks from a true fan @JM RE: Arctic Fuse 2 - TimboZero - 2024-10-06 @jurialmunkey Now fully a convert from AH2 to AF2 (mostly because of how damned fast it is, and a little for it being cleaner but as customisable) I do however (as a new user, and a newb) have 3 questions about config… 1) can I add a main menu item (or any combo of menu/widget/etc) for what appears in favourites.xml as RunAddon(“script.launch.retropie”) to AF2? 2) can I have a (like tv and movies titles) widget for favourites (which I tuned the command to ActivateWindow(favouritesbrowser) because I like that format more) and finally 3) can I please turn off that profile name at bottom of expanded main menu next to the Kodi icon, and if not would you please consider it as an option for next version please? (seeing Master User just feels egotistically wrong to me lol) Additionally in the ‘please add to next version’ category, could we have some default background images for movies,shows etc (I mean know inv you it’s already in there and I just have to add a dependency or change a config somewhere) RE: Arctic Fuse 2 - spursgalea - 2024-10-06 It's fantastic. I've already moved over from Fuse 1. I've set it up on my tablet and it works great.a lot smoother than the original, which I really like. Thanks again! RE: Arctic Fuse 2 - un1que99 - 2024-10-06 Great work as always, super excited to try this. Thank you!!! |
