Hi all,

I love this skin, so happy to have it on Kodi 19.
On my Intel NUC though the fan cranks up to screaming permanently on any of the home screens. I'm guessing it's GPU because the CPU is only between 1 and 10%. Any pointers on what I could tweak in the skin or otherwise to curb what's causing it?

Thanks!

I would try disabling background fanart, fade effects, less widgets on home for example.

Tried all of that, but even with one widget and no fan art it remains. But interestingly when I set the home menu to vertical it's fine. So I'll do that.

I have a problem with SAVE VIEW in view when i watched addons video. Before my holiday everything is working. When i start Kodi after returning home the skin updated and SAVE VIEW crashed. The problem is that when i watch video addons i prefer to use EXTRA INFO i click save view and when i back and return to watch every time it reset to Double-Flix. Some help

There where no changes in the last time, so currently I have no idea, what this causes. Maybe you could provide a Debug Log?

With the great litebox script from @badaas and help testing from @Nanomani we have new background-options:

Custom colors are a mess! I like grayscale colors, but getting one screen to look great, like the home menu, totally trashes the colors somewhere else. I tweaked as much as I could, but the list fonts for example are washed out, when they receive the focus. Even setting the transparency effect has no effect. Its' just too frustrating. What would have been better, like in the default skin, is to have a variety of color themes, that worked.

Off the subject of colors, I can't find an option that will display the TV episode air-date anywhere.

Where are these options? I installed the latest version but it looks the same as before. Could you give us some pointers about how to set this up please.

Thanks for your feedback. You have to decide for yourself what you want, a little more individuality and options that allow the user to customize the skin the way they want, or just a clear line with less options. For me it's better to be able to customize many things, therefore A:Z - R has so much options to customize.

You will never be able to please everyone, but there are plenty of other great skins for that

For showing TV show aired infos, you have to set an OMDB(?) API Key in tmdbhelper settings.

I wish the forum would show the subject line, because I complimented the effort. Anyway, thank you for taking time to reply.

For all those who would like to translate the skin into their language and who don't know how.
It is very simple

1. You must register on Weblate here : https://kodi.weblate.cloud/accounts/login/
   
2. then you just have to ask the Kodi team to give you the rights by indicating your Weblate login name and the language you want to translate here : 363132 (thread)
   

that's all

Then you are free to translate or not this skin or others addons

I have a request, is it possible to always show the progress bar when the osd is on screen? I'm on a shield and when I hit the big circle button on the remote, the osd pops up and the video keeps playing, which is how I like it to work. But I can't see the progress bar unless I hit pause or seek.

I like the clock in the corner, I have that activated and it looks nice. Even a bar under that would probably work.

Thanks for all your hard work on this skin, it is coming along very nicely. Thanks for your time.

Edit to add, this is on Matrix.

I have made a PR for this. Ready for testing:
