WIP Arctic Horizon
Hello everybody,
Installed this skin for the first time. Great work.
But I can't find the option to disable the kind of Spotlight widget which appears when navigating in the menu to settings, power and programs.
Thanks
Thomas

Low performance on favorites widget when added few movies.

Using the AH skin on Matrix, I haven't been able to add a "Favorites" widget.  I like to tag groups of movies into "collections" and mark them as favorites.  Then I usually include a widget for favorites(collections) on my home screen, but I'm not seeing where I'm able to do this so far.

I'm not using favourites with AH but movie sets might work instead? https://kodi.wiki/view/Movie_sets

I don't generally like movie sets because you can only pick one set per movie.  My collections share several of the same movies (i.e. The Departed is in both my Scorsese collection and in the Oscars collection).  However, I discovered I can still use the Super Favorites add-on, so problem solved.

just give each movie/Tv Show a tag: favorite
thats how i do it.

Or just use the personal rating. I have this as a widget. Make a playlist and sort them by  personal rating - limit to 50. Add this playlist as widget and make here sort: random. So you have always your personal rated top 50 in an random order.

Just been playing with this skin and its great but i find the darkened fanart a bit much is there a way to alter or change the degree of darkening of the background as i cannot find anything in the settings to do that,

also are you up for some ideas for the skin. 

Anyone know the correct poster and fanart names for movie collections as when i add collections the poster and fanart have to be manually put in or they are blank eg.

folder named > Back to the future Collection (contains) 
Folders:
Back to the future
Back to the future II
Back to the future III

Images:
fanart
poster
folder
Back to the future Collection-fanart
Back to the future Collection-poster

that's how i have named the images but when you add a collection the poster and fanart are blank ?

thanks

Can't you just put the movies each in an own folder and add nfo files with the collection info and collection art?

@jurialmunkey I hope you are well

I just found out that you are working on this skin again. Very nice! My all time favorite skin was Eminence 2, closely followed by Arctic.

I have a few questions:

Will some of the views that where in previouis Eminence 2 or Arctic skins also be in Arctic Horizon? Like this one with background 
Image

Also I am a little bit confused. What are the differences between Arctic Horizon or Zephyr?

Am I correct that there is no off-button in this skin to close the Kodi app, or is that just a Google TV thing? (I am using this skin on Kodi 19 on my new Chromecast with Google TV). Confluence, Estuary and other skins do have off-buttons in the main menu

And is it possible to always open the movie info first, when selecting a movie? Now it is longpress for info and normal press for movie start

I'm sorry if I missed obvious options. So far I haven't found out what settings to change (but as Google TV is entirely new for me and I haven't used Kodi in a while, that could just be my mistake in not knowing where to look)


Thanks for your help and for your great work.

You can edit any of the menu options in the skin's settings, and there is the ability to add "Power Off". Whether it works with Google TV or not, I'm not sure, but Google TV doesn't dictate how this (or any) skin looks, or what settings they can have, as those are defined within Kodi's ecosystem, which is meant to be platform-agnostic.

Also, you can change the default action to "Show Information" in Kodi's own settings.

How do you access the power off menu without the keyboard shortcut?

Add "Power" as a Home Menu item.

I'm trying to put a submenu strip with icons in a section for example in movies and I don't know very well how to do it, I want to put a strip with 7 icons and their names, how can I add that submenu or is there a tutorial that explains it well? Thanks a lot

Interesting. How can I add collections widget on my favorite tab?
