I probably did it wrong. At first I tried creating a skin folder in the add-on directory and pasting everything in, but it never showed up. So then I just went into the bello skin folder I already had installed and deleted everything out of it and pasted this skin's contents in

[sualfred]

wrong ^^

Edit:
So.. back from the gym. This should work for Helix users:
- Install my repo via zip directly in Kodi
- Download the latest zip archive from "https://github.com/sualfred/sualfreds-repo/tree/master/skin.bellofredo". There is only one and it's always the latest stable
- Extract the addon.xml from the archive (just this file!)
- Replace the addon.xml content with this:

PHP Code:

- Re-add the addon.xml to the archive to overwirte the included addon.xml
- Install the archive via zip in Kodi

Did not test it, but this should be the best way for "noobs".

Otherwise:
Upgrad to Isengard

But this won't work for a long time. I'm playing around with the new param feature of the Isengard skin engine. This will never work with Helix and will make this skin competely incompatible to Helix.

Thanks sualfred!!! It work's

Wow you are awesome! I was in the middle of mocking up some ideas then saw you posted this. I agree keep our in the middle. I'll look at what you made and share some thinking I had, specifically with the aesthetics transitioning from the menu to widgets. like some sort of purple vignette overlay or something.

Edit: Actually to make things simpler, I'd like to remove the purple color from the background when pressing up and viewing widgets. I've searched allover and can't find in the xml files where that purple color behind the posters exists. Any help in locating it?

Many thanks! Any chance you could point me in the right direction of that purple color behind the posters in the widget? I've still been searching and can't find it anywhere in the xmls

[sualfred]

IncludesWidgetContainer.xml

Right at the beginning:
<control type="image">
<include>FullscreenDimensions</include>
<texture background="true">views/list/shine.png</texture>
</control>

[peppe_sr]

oh man you are so patient!

[sualfred]

Btw: I guess I will replace the disable pulse bar thing with an alternative skin theme. Less code, cleaner code, same effect, easier to maintain.

[incubus]

- Replace the addon.xml content with this:

PHP Code:

<import addon="xbmc.gui" version="5.4.0" /> 


For Openelec users version shall be 5.3.0

Thanks for your mod Sualfred !

Hi

Is it possible to have the Top250IMDB in the netflix view, like Bello skin has?
Can you tell me what files or code must be changed?

Thanks

[sualfred]

Currently not implemented, because I didn't liked it. How does it look in Bello? Any screen? Can't remember atm.

[Jocatheo]

This is how Bello has it.
The code in Bello can not be applied in Bello Fredo?

[sualfred]

Ok, will add it. But in an different look. The gold doesn't fit very well.

[wex101]

Something to maybe consider for the theme. To match the widget, I went ahead and added the shine to the homescreen with the pulse deactivated.

[sualfred]

Eehhh... nope. Sorry but it looks terrible in my eyes. Don't get me wrong, it's just my opinion.
