Hey

Can you just clarify - what's the difference between the revamp and revamped stuff? Does one really need both sets of textures? Revamped seems enough on it's own?

[un1versal]

revamp and revamped are two different themes both blue base atm.

* revamp is more saturated blue and vivid colors to match throughout.
* revamped is smoother color scheme, easier on the eye and still very striking.

The variance -osf indicates the original solid floor texture i.e. behind RSS vs a diffrent more transparent floor texture.

If you want just one or the other, you can copy the matching /colors themename.xml, /background themename.jpg and /media themename.xbt for the theme or variation you want and apply it.

you can leave out the extracted textures they are unused in themes (just there for show and user curiosity)

You can easily just put all .xml .jpg and .xbt and swicht between themes to see what differences are, and decide which one you like best.
Thus also answering your own question, from a more informed and own experienced point of view.

A little back story.

I tried pushing revamp changes to master kodi in https://github.com/xbmc/xbmc/pull/5350 because it fiixes many issues and gives a much needed facelift to skin.
On that PR, the general consensus was that the colors were too saturated, some people liked it, but some did not.
The ones that didn't like - apparently won. Thus, revamped was born to fix and address said comments and I can try one last time to get these changes merged into master or not.

[bossanova808]

Thanks for your efforts - and good luck. The gatekeepers can be a little fierce.

For what it's worth - I enjoy using it (revamped is my choice)...and I share a custom mod Confluence with all my friends, so they're using it too - I have trimmed it down to just the textures/colours I want and use my own BG instead.

[un1versal]

Yes, indeed. But We must try, it is opensource and does need contribution in this area.

The background, anything but the existing looks better than nothing to me :p, not being terribly creative and being a fan of some simplicity, that was the best I could do in 5 minutes.

There were a couple of comments already, so now pending some screenshot feedback I shall fix at least a couple of things I missed and see if PR is wanted or not.
Worst case scenario, it will stay as a theme.

Maybe one day, default skin will also support loading themes from userdata, when that happens I already have a half working addon for downloading these things. Presuming Im still alive and able then.

See changelog for 4.02

AudioDSP textures were added to theme in preparation for merge of AudioDSP portions..

All osd button focus textures were fixed contained a slight blurp due to old eyes.
