I don't really want to have to start over.. Or can I copy some xmls that contain these settings?
Just have fixed frame disabled for now. We’ll get round to fixing it.
It shouldn’t bother you that much. after all, you didn’t even notice from Joodes video that it was disabled which is understandable because the difference is minimal. I think Netflix may even work this way anyway.

Now it works as if fixed frame is actually enabled somehow, so that's good, I don't mind the settings.
My problem is with my submenus not working. Thought maybe it's a bug and I should completely remove the skin and reinstall.. Normally I uninstall the skin but keep the settings, but maybe that's what's causing my issue with the submenus.. But before I delete everything I want to make sure I can easily get all my skinsettings back.

I just downloaded the update and it’s working.
Also, what happened with your issue with the widgets moving gradually moving up into the more info section?
Not sure if I still have the issue or not before the mod overwrote Bingie so all my widgets stuck when I installed the new update it installed as a separate skin and I have to plug in all my settings and add all my widgets I only added 2 as I drank my coffee before coming to work to check out the new look. I still have about 40 widgets to add when I get home Im at work right now Ill check when get home and report back to you.
I’m guessing you can just copy all your widgets over using one of the xmls in your previous xml folder to the new one. I think it’s scriptshortcutincludes.xml (or something written very similar to this).
I don’t have a colour theme by the way. I have hard coded most of my text colours in the xmls. If Achilles has used this code in the xmls (haven’t checked yet) then unfortunately you won’t have much choice in the matter either. Changing colour schemes or trying to change the colours in settings won’t work for the specific text colours I’ve changed.

Or can I copy some xmls over, would that be better? Assuming there are xmls containing all my skinsettings in userdata?

I updated the Github so Fixed frames do work now.
Now if your just trying to backup your widgets and all skin setting? The inbuilt backup would work perfect as long as your backup is saved on your computer somewhere.

One thing i found disturbing after installing new update , then we have to do our personal thing to change again each time.

I've never really looked at the option until now and I hate it. This can't be the way Netflix has it otherwise I would have noticed, and it must cause issues for everyone who uses different layouts for their widgets (landscape & poster for example).(2020-09-03, 13:45)HugoL Wrote:I think he's referring to my Netflix color theme.

Nothing's changed, you're just remembering the feature incorrectly.
I just tried out fixed frame enabled and it looks really unnatural and will always cause problems if you have more that one layout for your widgets. Almost positive that's not how Netflix works but I'd have to double check.

I'm not sure what jumping everyone is talking about. When enabled mine sets still no movement until I move my PC TV remote. Fixed framed should stay working now as long as we don't edit the size of the Posters. I will have it set to disabled for the default.
@HugoL
Excellent work work on the side menus, and everything else you have added.
