We've been here before remember. I am using your mod to make skins. This is my 3rd. The other two were using an older version of the software. This one is your version ending in 9 and it zips, looks like installing and either gets a failed or installs only part of the graphics. I am not doing it via Kodi nor trying to put addons in it. I pulled the repo version off kodi. You told me it was ok to do it a couple months ago.

The last one I did.

This is the one I'm having problems with.

Don't you mean "I am using your skin to make mods"? What did I say it was OK to do?

I am OK with anybody making mods for this skin and using it however they choose but if you post it, at least give credit to BigNoid and myself. The only other thing I ask is to post things here on the Kodi forums so this community can benefit from the work of others.

Are you saying my skin (un-modded) does not install?

If you are talking about your changed version then I cannot help you cause I do not have the time to look over your code changes or research why it does not install.

I do this in my spare time and too much of it is lost providing support as is, so I really can't support modded versions of the skin.

I hope that seems sensible.

P.S. Might be a media folder issue... Try creating a Textures.xbt file instead of using raw images.

This avoids having to set-up the menu from scratch. I assume you are merging to master, anyways?

Merging was the plan but when too many things change it becomes harder to do. I mentioned my reservations earlier in the thread...
I will discuss that with Mr. V after I have had some time to mull things over.

Any idea why mine now playing is so dark?

Nope. Any idea why my washing machine is making this strange noise?

Do you have hide visualization behind fanart enabled and have something other than waveform as the chosen music viz?

The selector in the TV-section is red (user selected color) now, but it is brighter as the rest. Please compare this two pictures:
this is the normal "red" all over the skin

In this image, you see, that the Channel selector is brighter than the sideblade-menu.

I don't know, if the following bugs are known or "just not finished". But I wanted to mention it anyway.

"Color Palette"-selector should be inside of the Color-selector Window

---
The "Color"-square (here: Red) is not in the right line. It belongs to Highlight-Bar.

---
The selected Color does not match the shown highlight bar:

*This is not my default color* The selected color is "Pink", the Highlight-Bar looks "purple". I was using "Basic palette", because it loads much faster than the default "rainbow"-palette. Also the rainbow palette is misaligned. Was displayed correct in the github from yesterday.

Another question:
I want to display the remaining time in Live-TV as "+3 min" or "+1h20min". If I change line 781 in Includes_LiveTV.xml to

Code:

<label>[B]+ $VAR[PlayerTimeRemainingVar] min[/B]</label>

then I get only e.g. "+ 9". The "min" is not shown at all. Can anyone help me?

Really gotta ask if you can use imgur instead of that site because it takes too long to load the pics

This is still the early stages of incorporating custom color selection so there will be bugs. I welcome the reports so keep them coming.

The TV channels highlight bar and the color swatches will be fixed in the next Git push.

You should not be seeing the palette selector anymore, are you only downloading specific files from Git and not the whole skin?

FYI, I will not be add custom colors to views yet since I am focusing on the system wide and home screen colors. I have a rather ambitious plan to be able to set up each view independently of each other but we will see if that happens
