Hi, I started using this skin and I absolutely love it.

One thing I noticed is that TV shows posters in the Big Icons view are showing some unwanted margins at the top and bottom of the posters. Idk if this is anyhow due to my specific settings or not though.

Thanks for the great work anyway though! Big Grin

Version 1.0.60 has just been sent to the repo

This one has some tweaks to the vertical menu such as showing cases, showing the logo, being able to select the shown widget, showing more of the screen when focused and a few others I cannot recall.

ps. guys thanks for the feedback...I'll come back and read up in more detail at a later date

cheers

The AR is out of wack (aspect ratios) for the posters and other things. So the grey shadow is fixed size but the poster image is scaled accordingly but as this is based on width not height then it cant fill the height accordingly. I dont think AR can be forced to height rather than width (maybe infinite width and fixed height worx..), but the AR could be changed to something other, but then people complain about 'squashy' pics if the original poster isn't a near enough default size. So we either lose the shadow or use a diffused copy of image as shadow (read more cpu cycles etc.).
The TV episodes arent standard size either, as they are wacked out; I keep meaning to change this one at least just no time atm Smile

Yes it should be fine, I have been adding Isengard changes for a good few weeks now such as the better seek indication on OSD..and many many others. If anyone spots anything missing please let me know.

Can you test this again with the version released yesterday (1.0.60)? I changed it whilst doing the cases modification to keep the original AR of the poster.

Love the Skin lad, tho one downside i find is the limit to creating 4 custom widgets! any chance adding a few more ? 8? or unlimited as if your creating menu titles ?

There is my NextUp xml, sorry it's a bit of a mess, I just used notepad.

Version 1.0.62 is now in the repo.

This version includes more changes to the vertical menu such as having more selectable widgets, colour focus etc. A new Netflix view is available along with a different way to select the view. Further additions include the use of a fake logo when needed (i.e. movie/show does not have one) and some changes in the colour flags for duration and top250.

Hey, thanks so much for all your work on this skin for the regular updates!

I was wondering if there is any way of disabling the fake logo? It really doesn't fit in well for a lot of my movies, and I'd much rather have no logo than a fake one. If there is already an option, sorry I've missed it!

I'm also having issues with top and bottom margins on posters (using latest version 1.0.62). I've had to switch from using the Big Icons view to avoid seeing them as it appears on almost all of my posters. If it helps, I primarily use Fanart.tv for artwork for the quality, and their poster resolution is 1000x1426.

Let me know if there is anything I can do on my end to fix the poster issue. I don't mind editing a file every update if it's not something affecting the majority of users!

**bsoriano** · 2015-07-07, 15:36

Hello Ian,

Is 1.0.62 only in the repo and not on Github? Yesterday night the latest I saw on Github was 1.0.60.

On another note, I uninstalled the skin, removed all traces of settings from the guisettings.xml, deleted the zip from the packages folder and reinstalled the skin from your repo (so I could get 1.0.62). Now the problem I am having is that when I go to select widgets for any menu item, there are only three widgets available (Spotlight, Recent Movies and another one) Is this a bug in 1.0.62 or is there something I am missing/doing incorrectly? Please let me know.

Thanks,

Bart

im85288 · 2015-07-07, 16:48

No all the latest is in GitHub, but as it requires changes in the helper script it's best to install from the repo.

Strange what your seeing with the widgets, it should have at least 12 options at the top to select from

qpr1991 · 2015-07-07, 21:35

Come across a few issues with the latest updates.

First of all as mentioned I am getting margin errors on the big icons.

Second is the new view dialog box that comes up when selecting a view. It seems other addons that use this same box are limited to space to show text.

As you can see there is a list of over 200 here and it only scrolls the top section.

I'm happy to edit the files or is there a way to downgrade back to an older version. But keep up the good work you have done great work with other skins and this one is by far your best work.

im85288 · 2015-07-07, 21:47

Thanks, yes I agree I messed up with the select dialog. It's fixed in the next version along with the ability to add 10 custom widgets (increased from 4)

I'll have a look at big icons, I've been fixing Aspect Ratios recently so may have messed something there.

Unlimited is a bit big Wink

I increased it to 10 for version 1.0.63
