Thanks  @TurDo

Just downloaded this for Omega this morning and works great. However, my custom nodes don't show the node name up the top (where the title in the smaller text is) except for a few of the ones that group eg genre, actors. Is there anyway to add this so the node name of whatever custom node comes up ?

Here’s how you can set a high-resolution image as a background in the Arctic Zephyr 2: Resurrection skin on the main screen without losing image quality on your Ugoos AM6 Plus with CoreELEC (CE)

Could these extra info parameters be added to your AZ2 skin?
These would be great tho.. Big Grin

The latest version of  AZ2:R  v1.0.29  released for Kodi 21 (Omega). A lot of beneficial changes and corrections.   Smile


Edit 1.  For anyone interested, I would like to point out the transparency features in the extended information "i" that are available in the AZ2:R skin.

Note. In the AZ:2R skin settings I have everything set to full transparency. Transparency settings description in extended information on page 106 (optional feature):
https://forum.kodi.tv/showthread.php?tid...1&page=106

Changes introduced in AZ2:R versions 1.0.28 and 1.0.29

1. Transparency function in photographic graphics (works automatically):
The function works when displaying the film's cast, when extended information is displayed, 2 horizontal rows of photographic graphics (in the form of vertical rectangles) are displayed. When you select photo graphics from one row, such as photos from the first row, the entire second row becomes transparent. This happens on every board with extended information displayed.

2. Option to display clearlogo graphics instead of text in the extended information window (optional feature):
Link to screenshot:  https://prnt.sc/IUO9JXCqc4GU

Edit 2.  On page 106, instructions are provided for reinstalling the AZ2:R skin "cleanly" along with the settings to obtain the transparency function in the extended information.
Since there is no longer a need to reinstall, the following is a description of only the necessary settings for the transparency function in the extended information to work properly. Screenshots have also been added to the description.

Skin Settings > Background > Background Images > Display Currently Playing Video in the Background > OFF
Screenshot: https://prnt.sc/FBswHKfdS1az

Settings > Skin Settings > Video / Music > VIDEO OSD > Pause after opening the dialog > OFF
Screenshot: https://prnt.sc/S6SlkkK6DB0r

Settings > Skin Settings > Video / Music > VIDEO OSD > Hide Background in the Extended Information Window > ENABLED
Screenshot: https://prnt.sc/e-rgkjuZFNhN

We set the transparency level by changing the "alpha" value in:
Settings > Skin Settings > Miscellaneous > OTHER > Alpha value for some dialogues > Value 0 is the default, and value 100 is complete transparency (scale by 5%) > select 100% > OK
Screenshots:

Edit 3.  Of course, I only described the use of a few new features in the extended information "i", more information about other changes and fixes can be found on Github in the AZ2:R skin version comparison:

I asked @TurDo to add characterart or clearlogo options to the AZ2:R skin. Graphic placed on the right side and displayed above the video progress bar.

Character art lovers would be happy with this feature. This feature would give you the option to choose character art instead of clearlogo graphics. Of course, the clearlogo graphic would still be available as an option.

This is just a proposal, @TurDo, when he finds time he may consider it.

Hi all I have been using Reloaded so this is new to me. When looking at movies etc and I press down I get the cast which is OK. But also Collections, Directed by, Crew and so on. In Reloaded I can choose to just show cast. Can I do the same here in Resurection? Also, any way to get the filename/path for each movie/episode for each list entry. The settings are very different to reloaded so I'm still working my way through them.

Hello,  E net 
If you want only the cast to be displayed, then uncheck everything in the skin settings, in the Customize LIST information window function.

Settings > Skin Settings > Various > CUSTOM LISTS > Customize Info Window > LISTS > if you want ONLY THE CAST to show, UNCHECK ALL

Screenshots, links:

https://prnt.sc/o88-hPNJ_Otq
I also used this setting in the extended information window.

Since version 1.0.28 of the AZ2:R skin, transparency in photo graphics was introduced in the expanded information window.  Smile   So I started using transparency in the information window, instead of the option I described in this post (I liked transparency in photographic graphics), but more on that in the second post above.

E net, 

Information.  Yes, you can already do this in the AZ2:R skin.
Version 1.0.31 of the AZ2:R skin introduces a new feature that allows you to view the actors involved in a video while the video is playing. I really missed this feature in the AZ2:R skin. However, it is already available and works great without any problems.  Smile
 
I really like the feature where information about the actors is also displayed while the video is playing.  I think many fans of the AZ2:R skin will like this feature.

Activating the function to quickly enter the actor display function during movie playback:
1. Enter OSD, a movie scroll bar will appear.
2. Press down arrow, the actors in the video will be displayed.
3. Press the up arrow or back button, the display of the actors in the video will end.

Edit.  After installing the AZ2:R skin version 1.0.31 on Kodi. I thoroughly tested the new feature in this skin, which is quick access to the Cast (information about actors) in the OSD.  The feature works really great.

Hi and quick question. Has the animated background skin option been removed that can add the ken burns effect to fanart?
Can't seem to find it.

PS: I'm on 1.0.31 version.
