?? How is a widget the same as a submenu? A submenu allows you to choose individual shortcuts,  add icons, change labels for each item, etc. You can only point a widget to one root thing. How could a widget be separated into individual shortcuts like a submenu can?  When you say "Custom Widget" do you just mean choose a widget through the skin settings dialog? I dont think you are understanding what Im asking for. Unless you know of a way to add individual addon shortcuts with icons under the submenu that im not understanding?

I thought the images I posted explained things well enough but I'm not gonna argue what a widget or submenu is 🤷🏼

Yea, so that pic is showing how you can customize the Main Menu, or submenu correct? So what Im asking for would be to have an additional submenu under the current submenu to house customizable addon shortcuts with icons, where widget 2 is currently in Silvo.

No, you are not correct. It is the Custom Widget that I have already mentioned.

I do not know how else to explain this to you. Can you see the images?
I'll try highlighting Custom Widget on every pic...





Here is how you customize the Custom Widget:



If that is not clear enough then I will need you to mention which part I need to explain further.

OMG, holy sh*t batman. I apologize!!! I never realized this function existed! Exactly what i was looking for lol. Ive seen and tried the custom widget option but failed to see the "Configure custom widget" item appear after.. I feel stupid now, lol. Thanks brother, perfect!!!!

Hello @mikeSiLVO thanks for all your work, love this skin.

Just a heads up, yesterday I installed RC1 and the library view changed, to default i guess. I was surprised because that hasn't happened in previous upgrades

@mikeSiLVO. Thanks again for the explanation of custom widgets. Next question. Is it possible to keep the custom widgets centered at the bottom when theres less than fills the panel? or example, if I only have 3 entries it keeps them all on the left side. Can they be centered?

Im seeing the same type of behavior with widgets and submenus also. Nothing is centered. If I have just a couple submenu items they seem to be pushed to the right side, seems the same with widgets, they seem to be pushed to the left side. Im not seeing an option to keep things centered, unless im missing something?

Is this a skin issue or a kodi issue?

Hello.  I'm looking for a little coding assistance please.   I can't for the life of me locate this button (Fonts) in any of the xml files.  I'd like to duplicate just that one button to another xml that I've been working on for customization.   Thank You.

Fonts are stored in xxx\Kodi\addons\skin.aeon.nox.silvo\fonts, 
Then the font.xml is xxx\Kodi\addons\skin.aeon.nox.silvo\16x9\font.xml

**Edit, my bad. I think thats a core Kodi setting thats not a part of the skin..
        <setting id="lookandfeel.font" type="string" parent="lookandfeel.skin" label="13303" help="36107">
          <level>1</level>
          <default>Default</default>
          <constraints>
            <options>skinfonts</options>
          </constraints>
          <dependencies>
            <dependency type="update" setting="lookandfeel.skin" />
          </dependencies>
          <control type="list" format="string" />
        </setting>

What I was wanting to do is put that directly above 'Main Font Color' so the user can choose a font(I already added several), then assign colors, all in one place.

The way the skin sets view types is dependent on if script.skinvariables is installed and enabled or not.

If it is enabled then Kodi's built-in way of selecting view types is overridden and instead, the script writes conditions to force a view. The defaults are set to some that I use personally like RightList for movies/episodes or Logo for TV Shows. A few others are just set to show some of the different views.

Skin has certain quirks. For instance, submenus work best with 1, 3, 5, or more. Same as the main menu options.

Centering the widgets would not be easy and it would likely mess up a lot of the other options offered so it would have to be a personal mod.

Appears to be a Skin Shortcuts thing. The action it provides looks more like a widget path than a play item one.

I suggest you add all the channels you want to your favorites. Then add to the submenu by going through favorites. You can delete them after adding them since you only need the correct action when you set it.

What I was wanting to do is put that directly above 'Main Font Color' so the user can choose a font(I already added several), then assign colors, all in one place.

Don't think you can open that outside of appearance settings. You would have to use a script or something.

Thnx that helped

I noticed something new that I think may be a bug but unsure if it'd be in the skin (9.99.3) or Kodi itself.  We watched a movie last night and after it ended, the movie background image stayed as the Kodi background instead of returning to the `default` custom background set in the skin. I have a main menu entry that has its own background set and that background worked when scrolled to the menu entry. If I played another movie and stopped it only a few seconds in, the `default` Kodi background was now changed to that movies background, and again, the menu entry with its own background set worked as expected.

Hopefully that explanation is suitable. I can take screenshots if necessary.

Any ideas?

Hi
I understand Kodi picks up local fanarts automatically provided it's been named properly.

Using Aeon Nox Silvio and I deleted the images to make sure the new local fanarts named appropriately get picked up for the display.
Kodi did repopulate the images on restart but most local fanarts were not picked up - instead I get a blank option for fanart although the posters are displayed. But When I try manually I can see it has identified  the local fanart and it gives me the option to pick it up. However some...very few are picked up for some reason without any problems!

Not sure if it's a Kodi problem or Aeon Nox - Can anyone suggest to me what I could be doing wrong ? Picking up the local fanart manually is too big a job!
