Not at this time in my opinion but nothing says that it always will be.
Let's say that this skin is still young and he deserve to flesh out a little
To return to the original purpose of this topic, I would like to propose some improvements:
- Offer a simple way to add fanart to skin on the principle of fanart pack for the weather.
If you check an option, the skin will look in the background directory, a folder or an image with a preset name (eg ".kodi/addons/skin.aeon.nox.silvo/background/music/" for the fanart music menu)
I found it rather long to navigate the subfolders to configure each menu. There it would be enough to put his pack (personally I like the pictures of shednox) and check the option. It would not change the ideology of the skin (see FAQ), since we must always modify it by yourself, but that would really simplify life.
- Extend fanart option "dvd dynamic case," in the main menu to display random movies and not just the recent movies.
- add a view that emphasizes the banners for the tv shows. Currently there are only 2 and they are almost identical but lack clarity and detail.
Bannerwall displays banners over 2/3 of the screen but as a result, completely hides the fanart. There was of course, a plot, genre and title but nothing else.
No logo of the series, no mpaa, no studio logo ...
Bannerinfo, it's the same except I see only 5 tv shows at a time.
Shednox on this point (bannerplex view) was really something good in the sense that only the lower half of the image was occupied by the banners (3x3) and logos (Tv Show, mpaa, studio, etc.) while the upper part was intended general information (date, notes, synopsis, recall of fanart, poster and other artworks). The most interesting is that we could delay the onset of the upper part which made the display simpler and brighter.
I do not demand a copy of course but regain some point as a sort of lowlist of banners, and more information/logo, especially for mpaa logo.
What do you think of this?
So there's lots from the older skin not included in a new skin?
What's the difference in all these skins anyways? Just more or less features?
