Hi, please could you bring the little favorites (star) icon back on the main bar?
Many Thanks.

Yeah there will be an option sometime in the next week to switch between using either the power button or the favourites button.

Im going to check out this skin after reccomendation from guys in the ServerWMC/pvr.wmc LiveTV subforum! It looks really nice

Im a fellow Aussie and saw your screenshots in 1st post and your channel logos look alot better than the ones Ive got so far... would you be able to share them or point me to where you got them from?

What LiveTV backend are you using at the moment, out of interest?

Thanks.

I use tvheadend on linux.

Most of my tv channel logos are from either of these two - ABC logos I had to go on a bit of a hunt for good ones, can't remember where from.

Any updates on the PseudoTV Live skin? That would make this skin perfect. Love the skin and it's been my default for months now, thanks.

Not currently. I was having a lot of issues with Pseudo TV and I ended up getting frustrated with it. If someone makes one I'll gladly add it, but otherwise it might be a while off now because I'm a bit busy with other things.

Is there a way to set the background for the shutdown menu?

It uses the global background currently. In the future there will be an option. Just a bit busy at the moment to add an option.

@jurial
Could you add an option to set the default action for selecting Live TV to start the EPG instead of the Channel List?

At the top of Home.xml (in the skin.arctic/1080i folder) you will see a number of onload commands. Add the following line, save and restart xbmc.

Code:

<onload>Skin.SetBool(pvr.epgdefault)</onload>

Also I have been trying to find a way to get the live tv preview windows to play the last channel when the EPG is opened: http://forum.xbmc.org/showthread.php?tid=185830

Can this be handled through the skin?

Not really without it being hackish.

Thanks for posting those channel icons - can I also ask where you get your EPG data from? I've had a helluva time getting decent XMLTV in Perth.

i'm not exactly jurialmunkey (doh), but : OzTivos TV Guide is in XMLTV format, might be what you're looking for.

Jurial, I just want to compliment you on your skin again. Been using it for a couple for months now. Recently, I've been trying a lot of other skins for Gotham as well, including Aeon Nox 5. Was a big fan of Nox 4, but don't like the path BigNoid has taken with 5 (personal preference of course, not to say Nox 5 is bad by any means).

I feel none of the current available skins even come close to what you've done with Arctic. It has a great balance between looking beautiful and clean, and still having just enough of customization options and useful information visible on screen. Amazing work.

So thanks again, and I hope you never stop working on it

(edit: donated a couple of bucks. well deserved!)

I also came from Nox and feel the same about the new version. Arctic is just the best balance of form and function...

[MBulli]

I love your skin!

By now I like it most. As the others already said it, the balance between design and function is just great.

Of course there a some things I don't like

1. I find the animation of selected entry a little bit iterating when you scroll up and down.
2. I'm able to set multiple images as the background of the main menu, that's great. But I would like to set the image change timer much slower or even better: To change picture only when I select another menu entry.

Maybe you can add options for these? Personally the second point is most important to me

Thank you for your afford to create this great skin!

This is going to sound goofy, but I am also having the issue where I cannot access the side menus to change view types. I attempted the kiosk mode solution explained in posts #284 and #370, which states that the option is under Skin Settings > General, but there is no Skin Settings > General menu available. This obviously has to be a case of pilot error, but what am I doing incorrectly here?

Incidentally, this is a fantastic skin. Really on top. I'm busy making custom icons for the widget bars as we speak.

[filthycatbox]

Very solid design. I've used all iterations of Aeon Nox since the beginning, but you've created a skin which feels fresh and contemporary (and not based on the clunky Win8 language like most others out there). Really nice work Jurialmonkey. Only nitpick I have is the grey background panel (visible during video OSD info for example) with the rounded corners. I feel they detract from the design consistency which you've achieved very successfully throughout. I'd love to have the option of sharp right-angled shapes which would feel less dated than they currently look. Anyway, great work!
