The only one thing that doesn't quite look right to me is your choice of font for the synopsis/plot sections. Your skins were the first ones to make me realize that Roboto makes for an incredible skin font; would you consider keeping the font family for the entire skin Roboto/Roboto Condensed?
Thank you again for such excellent work!
I agree; I think the entire aesthetic of this skin is almost perfect... But the font on the plot synopsis sticks out like a sore thumb unfortunately Using just one font (maybe two) for the whole skin would work much better and create better consistency.
Also, I love the icon for 5.1 sound. Do you have plans to cover all surround layouts? I ask because I notice in A:Z that if my NFO contains a flag for 6.1 channels (<channels>7</channels>) then either Kodi or the skin (not sure which) doesn't recognise this format.
I have also noticed that the same thing happens for uncommon aspect ratios such as 2.2:1.
I am only using two fonts - RobotoCondensed and the plot font. The plot font is actually one of my favourite things about the skin - it's a pretty common design approach to use a different font for body text to improve readability and add variety/contrast. Anyway, it is fairly trivial for someone to change the font if they wish - I'll be including a linespacing modification of Roboto which can be switched with the plot font without messing up alignments.
Yep, I have icons for all surround layouts.
Here's some screenshots from different videos in my library:
Mono:
Stereo:
5.1 Surround:
6.1 Surround:
I don't have any 2.1, 3.1, 4.1 or 7.1 videos, but I do have icons that should work for these setups. The icons all follow the same scheme of a hollow center circle representing the subwoofer and then solid circles around the ring in the standard speaker configurations.
1.0 has C
2.0 has L R
2.1 has L R + Sub
3.1 has L C R + Sub
4.1 has FL FR BL BR + Sub
5.1 has FL FC FR BL BR + Sub
6.1 has FL FC FR BL BC BR + Sub
7.1 has FL FC FR ML MR BL BR + Sub
