This skin is the best for me

Thanks, i 'pushed a change' today to apply custom home items and apply thumb and fanart.

still no addon needed ;-)

but be aware
if you test that out, you may loose the attached artwork if you use the default path in a later/final stage of the skin version.
(use resource addon part for that case is undone)

also the menu layout itself 'is early wip' and not in a form how i want them, but currently the easiest (for me ) testing purpose.

How can you supply those custom home items?

i pushed some fixes via phone right now.

you need to go to skinsettings and select

home main menu - toggle the setting
'temp setting : use custom main menu' on

then you can select the path/action
afterwards the images.

Thank you.

Yes it's working now. You now can add custom items to the main menu. Nice.
But when it's done, I can acces the menu only with a mouse, not with a cursor.
Maybe for the future, the possibility to add a kodi command to the main menu, like "shut down" or "quit"?

unsure what the difference in your statement is?
slide/hover with curser
vs.
click left mouse button?


if you are in home and click
'backspace' or 'm'/'menu'
you will focus the icons, if you than click left ,the main menu will slide out.

contents of the 'shutdownmenu' or somethin to open it from there will be find a place ,yes.

Thank you. That works great.

Thank you. That works great.

I never use a shutdown/exit button, long press on back button on remote brings up shutdown menu.

Great work..

Will there be themes for the skin rather then changing the colours for different kind of aspects by users?

yes, in 2 ways !!!
1. the usual way without addon dependencie
- change theme within interface settings (the window where you choose fonts, skin...)
- if you dont like to use script.skin.helper.colorpicker

optional for customization
2. skinsettings -> ' custom colors 'section

where you be able to override some/all skin used colors with the help of script.skin.helper.colorpicker

you can also save/load/delete your custom themes from there with the help of
script.skin.helper.skinbackup

That is really amazing.. thanks!!

Hope we can get a beta version soon

Great work..

3 suggestions..

- There is a small light grey line around the posters etc which makes them not Modern enough.. can this be turned off?

- option for smaller landscape views

- 'Netflix view' option for automatic trailer play in homescreen

Thanks for putting a lot of time into this skin

You need to adjust that manual.
Using Color Mangement.
- set it up for widget and library
-> Color For Unfocused Items/Widgets , Color For Focused Items/Widgets

I dislike to set them to none in generell, cause its a bit special.
based on current theme + choosen tag panel color the 'skin' choose the correct diffuse image for the rounded theme.

e.g.  video
 

option for smaller landscape views

Currently there are just the basics, some other adjustemts/additions will follow at a later point.

(still busy with some other staging in the skin, unsure how and when will it end)

Netflix view' option for automatic trailer play in homescreen

I had that option in mind but unsure how / if it'll find a way in.
The issue i see i s widget refresh each time a playback will start, which will cause bad bahaviour ,espeacially for random ordered widgets (it'll make no sense if you watch a trailer and cant click to start playback because the items is 'lost' in position due to refresh).
