Hello, I just wanted to post a quick update as I'm now actively working on this skin again, but on my own, having spent the last few months learning the basics of how to code. I'm currently working on a complete revamp, design and coding, and have nearly finished the video and music views and notifications. The below screenshots are from my WIP alpha code. Parts of it are VERY broken. I basically deconstructed parts of Conq, which Hitcher used as the base when he started coding this one, to learn how it worked. I've forked his Copacetic code as he's not actively working on this skin at the moment. You can see it here if you're interested:

As you can notice, it's even more minimal than the original design and I imagine some would consider it bare. But for me, the extra information doesn't add anything in the media views and I'm happy to drill down to info view for it. Because I carefully pick artwork and know exactly what I put in my library, I'm more interested in seeing the posters and fanarts rather than things like ratings or codec information, which doesn't make any difference to me when I'm just browsing for something to watch.
Features:
5 customizable views with the following view options (Logos and flags are independent to each view, I will include a universal toggle in settings)
- List: Display (Background, Posters, Square) / Details (Title, Title and Info) / Flags (Studio, MPAA, Both, Off)
- Billboard: Details (Title, Title and Info, Title and Plot, All) / Logo (On/Off) / Flags (Studio, MPAA, Both, Off)
- Showcase: Display (Posters, Square) / Details (Title, Title and Info, Title and Plot, All, Off*) / Logo (On/Off) / Flags (Studio, MPAA, Both, Off)
- Strip: Display (Posters, Fanart, Square) / Details (Title, Title and Info, Title and Plot, All, Off*) / Logo (On/Off) / Flags (Studio, MPAA, Both, Off)
- Grid: Display (Posters, Fanart, Square) / Details (Title, Title and Info, Off*)
Night and Light themes - switch between them on the quick settings screen, thinking of adding an custom timer to switch in settings
Universal progress bar - Aside from showing % of videos watched, also shows % of seasons/tv shows watched, trying to figure out how to get this working for sets too.
Now playing notifications aligned to each view
Designed for high-quality artwork (including episode thumbnails): Fanart, Posters/Keyart, Logos, Square (either xxx-square.jpg or falls back to fanart)
