In that screenshot of The Handmaid's Tale it appears almost full screen. I don't know how to achieve that.

Has that always been an option or it came with version 5?

Always been there: 'Fullscreen Widget', although I think it was called Showcase Hub previously.

Am still not understanding how to utilise it. I think I got the full screen to display but it's always blank. There's never anything populating. Not sure how to explain but it's obvious I'm doing something wrong if you all have it working.

You need to set the path in Skin Settings/Home/Fullscreen widget path.

Currently it's set to Special Widget > Fullscreen Widget
That's what's producing a blank view.

But am I misunderstanding anyway. Does it not show whatever item is in focus rather than specifying the specific path to something?

You need to point it to a path you want to be displayed, like Default Widgets/Movies/Random Movies.

Ah so I have misunderstood then in that case.

Is there a way to see metadata icons from my local films? I am using poster widget but are only showed during the film.

Sorry for my poor english, i am from Spain.

Thanks for the work!!! Amazing skin!!!

No divider nor Clearart on homescreen anymore? No matter if I choose none, flat, or shadow for my single widget page, there's no divider, and no Clearart.

New layout looks awesome

Would it be possible to add the option to display the clear logo in upper left rather then the section header as I feel this would tie in with the overall look 🤔

Many thanks

Odd... I thought the showcase view usually showed clearlogo in the bottom right?

Not only this but it also seems submenu hub widgets on the homescreen don't work the same way anymore? I haven't been able to find a way to achieve the showcase/submenu/hub-widget combo that used to be possible... or even a single hub widget along with the fullscreen widget

THIS! You couldn't explain it any better. I'm scratching my head since yesterday.

As an example for clarity:

My main homescreen has a fullscreen showcase widget (still on a pre-0.5.0 install), with no submenu items and a hub widget.





When scrolling down from the fullscreen widget to the hub widget, you get the information at the top, with divider and clearart.  Granted, this is on a vertical menu layout, but in the newer versions, the closest I can get is this:





Now it seems setting the hub widget simply has no effect, and the divider and clearart are gone. My settings for those widgets look like:

Yes same for me..

@drinfernoo.. to get rid of the doubled shown titles (I.e. Avengers Infinity War) just have a widget below the full screen (so basically your first widget) without Displaying the info (None). That worked for me.

The fullscreen widget *path* is set in:
Skin Settings > Home > Fullscreen widget path

The fullscreen widget will display *automatically* if there are NO widgets in the widget group. If you want to display it with other widgets underneath, then use the "Special Widget > Fullscreen Widget" at the top of the group.

The "Fullscreen widget path" is the global fallback for all menu items. If you want to set a *different* fullscreen widget for each widget group, then you need to change the widget set in the hub widgets section.


Some screenshots to clarify:

The "Global" fullscreen widget path.
This path is used if there's no individual fullscreen or hub widget set.


Setting an individual fullscreen widget PER menu.
Note that in the most recent version I've changed the labels slightly to improve clarity.

@baruchin - Divider and clearart currently disabled on home until I work out a few bugs - but they will be returning.

@drinfernoo -
Showcase hub is gone from home screen because the control.hasfocus slide animations it used were a big performance drain and the code was just causing problems all over the place. You can achieve a similar effect with the following layout:
1. Fullscreen widget
2. Normal widget

Optionally can add additional widgets with display info turned on for positions 3+

I reckon I understand it now thanks. My mistake was thinking the full screen was a kind of view type that changed dynamically depending whichever item was in focus.

If I'm on my movie menu and scroll down through the widgets and press the back button, the focus jumps to the main menu again but the widget I was on stays 'active'

When I do the same on my TV items and press back, it highlights the main menu but scrolls the widgets back to the top. This is the behaviour I want.

Using horizontal menu, anyone have any ideas what causes this? Can get a log if it helps.
