@Merwenus, I am sorry you are having to go through that. I have added a backup/restore function that I understand will help prevent situations like that.

It uses the script.skin.helper.skinbackup to do the backup/restore.(2019-08-02, 20:52)bsoriano Wrote:No worries, shit happens sometimes, the main problem that I had a backup for addon_data\script.skinshortcuts, but it doesn't really want to work.

I need to think about how to re-add this, since the background customization is a lot different now than what it was before Amber 3.2.x/3.3.x. Please bear with me while I figure out how to solve this. Thank you.
I've had to totally reset kodi as it was crashing after been open for 30 seconds. Anyway, I'm trying to set up Amber again as I had it, as foolishly didn't have a backup.
I've changed the background for each thing (TV, Movies, music etc) to my own, and on the home screen when your scroll through each one they display fine. But when I go into any of them it shows the default previous image for the relevant item you are in. Where do I set so that it always shows my newly selected background? It used to be fine so I've done it in the past, just not a clue as I've used Amber for years and it's just updated each time so never looked into this before! Help please!

I am glad to have contributed to the great work you already did! Please, if you wish, provide me with all of the feedback and changes you understand should be done. In particular, I am not great at the design part of skinning, so I am sure there is a lot that can be improved.

Good to hear from you again...
(2019-08-03, 09:31)GeesRiK Wrote:@GeesRiK , I just added back the functionality (thanks to @mardukL !), adapted to current skin background customization. So, any customized background you chose for any menu item should now show in sub windows. This includes the new options, like random movie fanart and random video fanart. The only new option not included yet is video playlists. The changes are already on Git, both branches. You do not have to enable any setting to make this work.(2019-08-03, 00:10)bsoriano Wrote:(2019-08-02, 23:49)GeesRiK Wrote: Hello good people.@GeesRiK , thank you for bringing this use case to my attention.

The only change I could see in your file would not center the dialog on the screen, but shifts all of the keyboard rows outside the dialog. Please verify. Thanks.
I noticed something in search.
If I open it and press ESC they show me a result with all my library. The expected is just to back to menu, right?
I did a little change in DialogKeyboard.xml. I don't changed anything of the functionality, they work as expected (less what I said on top) it's just with position (I centered on the screen) (what I know to do
Here: https://pastebin.com/Zf7EkM4E
I wanted center the IP keyboard in screen, but don't know how to do this.
