Ok it worked - but it appears that the actual main tile and widget tiles are not "dynamic" themselves but instead are fixed to whatever image .../##/weather.jpg is correct?

Yes, that's correct. The weather.jpg is used for the static images like the tile background and the other images are for the rotating background

Request: setting to specify default active OSD menu button
I'd like to get into the subtitle menu with two presses: 'M'/'Menu' and 'OK'/'Enter'.
Currently when you open the menu while playing a movie you the pause button is active and you have to go left or right to get to the subtitle button. I never get why skinners make this the default button because who does not have a play/pause/stop button on the keyboard or remote that he's using in the first place?

Small improvement: close the subtitle sub/menu on the OSD menu first when closing the menu.
Currently when you exit the menu the subtitle submenu will stay on the screen a little longer, which doesn't look good.

Just uploaded a new beta in which this has been fixed.
Version 2.2.13 for Gotham, Version 3.2.13 for Helix

Found this Movie/TV view from Persona that I think is better. It also rotates the fanart of the movie in the background when hovering. Looks pretty impressive when I went back to gotham to load it.
Tried to add it into Titan manually but it seems like more has to be integrated than just MyVideoNav and includes.xml

Today I did the first work on adding two new list views: Big List and Low List.
Offcourse with a Titan touch to it :-)

Please try it out in the latest beta and let me know your feedback.

Sweet! Love the two added views. I think if the back panel was removed or more translucent it would make it really standout. Other than that, perfect!

Also, can you add the low list view to Music in the artist view?

Noticed that if you try to use artwork downloader to manually download Artwork via the "info" overlay the selection dialog is never presented in focus (visible) to choose items available for download.

We are entering now into the danger zone of personal preferences: even though I am using subtitles a lot, I don't believe that this is the optimal behaviour, e.g. if you want to fast forward to a place in the movie/episode by using the progress bar, this becomes very tedious as you have to clicke somewhere else first to make the subtitle menu disappear (as the progress bar is onscured by the subtitle menu).
So you could either make this subtitle feature somewhat more intelligent, by skipping that behaviour if a subtitle has already been selected/present (meaning do it only once) or you could at least make this feature configurable.

Anyway thanks a lot for your hard work and your willingness to listen to your userbase

Happy X-mas!

I will post new beta later today with fix for the artwork dialog

[User 224999]

New beta skin available on the beta repo:
version 2.2.15 for Gotham
version 3.2.15 for Helix

- Fix for the extendedprogressbar on top of fullscreenvideo
- Fix for the manual artwork downloader dialog not shown in helix
- small cosmetic changes in the PVR views on helix
- added the new big and low list views to music library
- created new graphics for the video flags, so now support for the video formats like h265 and display correct aspect ratio
- several alignment changes / polishments

I'm still working on the default button in OSD, the option to disable episode counts and finishing of the new list views so not yet included in this beta

Thank you everyone for the good feedback and helping with the skin.
Have a merry Christmas !

[Simograndi]

Wow thank you and Merry Xmas!!

Anyway I've just updated to latest beta (It's called 3.2.14... is it correct or I have to wait for .15?) but I've seen a bug with new icons for power menu (timer ones). They seems to be broken and show a laptop squared image... (on android instead have ever been updated?) O.o Beside this little thing I wanted to ask while you work on views if you could fix this little issue with "extended" view for videos: if the episode title is particulary long and takes up to 4 rows, the fourth one overlaps media flags (and then starts scrolling). Please reduce the field for title to 3 rows.

I've seen new flags, but IMHO just text seems too poor, before they were perfect to me... Anyway this is your style

Install the .15 update...
In the .14 update something went wrong with the textures so that's why you get that strange behaviour

[Simograndi]

OK I'll wait for it, I guessed something went wrong as you posted about 15...

Translucent views are perfect!!

Hi,

Thanks for this fabulous skin. My favourite for helix !

I have a small request about lyrics integration, is it possible to "fully" integrate the lyrics, your skin is beautiful but the cu lrc lyrics interface isn't Or maybe there is something wrong with my kodi ?



I like the info bar with the spinning disc, is it possible to keep it always on screen ?

Thanks a lot for this great work !

The lyric-addon was actually coded in the skin but in Helix there was a small naming change so it didn;t work anymore. Changed it and is available in latest beta of the skin: 3.2.18

If you want the infobar to be always displayed in the fullscreen music you can do that with some setting in the advancedsettingsfile.xml from xbmc.

--> set it to 0 for infinite (always display)

Hi another suggestion

Aeon MQ5 has an option for context menu to automatically or manually download artwork with artwork downloader just for the selected item, rather than launching the app and make a full scan. I think this is useful to quickly update last added movies

Then could you fix the issue with fourth row title overlapping in extended view? thanx
