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.

With the TOP250IMDB update, is it necessary to do the above operation again? I see you have incorporated another addon... should there be some instruction here also?

Thanks

[sualfred]

same procedure, just add the new addon or install it manually right out of my repo

[Unr3aL67]

I really like, what you've done so far. Thanks a lot for that.

However, two things bother me a little bit:
1. You haven't linked the navigation-sounds to any actions in sounds.xml, therefore there's no audio feedback for any actions.
I guess you did this on purpose, because you did not want them.
I'd really like to see a choosable sound theme though, as having no audio feedback really bothers me. Can you do something about that?

2. Do you think you could add some kind of color theme customization?
iCanuck did a really great job at his customized Bello Nero. Maybe you could ask him for permission to use his code there.
His implementation of a customizable home menu animation is quite awesome. I just can't get to like the very light purple...

EDIT: An "FSK 6" icon is missing - Also, when you go to movie info it shows a rating icon on top and the rating as text (f.e.: *FSK 12) on the bottom of the page. Do you think you could remove the bottom one?
EDIT 2: I just saw that you added an ElegantDark theme, very nice but barely visible in my opinion, maybe some transparency and color customization would suit this better...

Also you could maybe take a look at iCanucks other changes, some interesting stuff happened there.

Thanks and Greetings from Austria,

[sualfred]

Thx for your feedback, but I don't like the themes and colors of him. It's too much and I don't want to add hundred of colors and more.

I tested the ElegantDark on 1 bad TN-Panel, 1 great calibrated IPS-Panel and one an perfectly adjusted 47" LG screen. Everything is readable.
One more will be added: A more blue-ish/glossy one. Already working on it.

An very soft GUI sound is included in the next update.

[Unr3aL67]

Oh, that was a misunderstanding. I did not mean the text visibility. What I meant was the visibility of the home menu animation (spiral).
It seems a bit too transparent for me. Have you seen the color and transparency settings in iCanuck's version?

Don't get me wrong, if there'd be a custom color and transparency selection you wouldn't have to add more and more themes to fit everyones needs.
Just an idea.

Did you read my edit about the FSK icon?

Greetz and keep up the great work,

Nope, I didn't get you wrong
Nevertheless, the Default theme is going to be replaced in the next update (no panic: Original Bello style is included as theme):





And yep, I fixed the FSK and removed the rating from the plot panel.

[H2G2]

Hi,
First of all thanks for your amazing job on Bello. I recently make a fresh install of Kodibuntu and upgrade to the last Isengard nightly buid but I can't install Bello neither manually nor with your repo who is empty for me (even with an update/refresh).
I have tried to delete the Addon*.db : not works
With a manually install :"dependencies not met"
Any idea on what's going wrong ?

[sualfred]

Be sure you refresh with the button on the sideblade. If you are using an skin, which isn't optimized for Isengard, the refresh/force refresh buttons can be "out-of-function" if there is an context menu.
And... try again and again. Some stupid Chinese are DDOSing the GitHub servers since days. Maybe there is an timeout.

[H2G2]

Thanks for answer. I will try again in few days...

[sualfred]

Sry mate. But I don't think u have to wait some days ^^ Just restart your device and try it again.

You also can try to download it directly.
Everything what you need is available here: https://github.com/sualfred/sualfreds-repo

[incubus]

Hi,

I have modified the ElegantDark theme for my taste and put another .xbt in the media subfolder.
Unfortunately it gets deleted on each skin update and I have to copy it again in media.

Is there a way to avoid this? Is your skin looking for themes somewhere else that is not overwritten or do you sualfred have a way to avoid the media subfolder been deleted on updates?

Thanks!

[sualfred]

That's the usual Kodi behaviour.
Just upload me the file and I will add it for you to the package.

Too bad they didn't think about this...

You can get the theme on my Dropbox here: ElegantLight.xbt

I don't believe it will please everyone else; It's only more transparent diffuse and vignette as I can hardly see the backgrounds on my projector screen.
Thanks sualfred !

[sualfred]

I don't give a f*** if it please anybody Mods will never be added to the official repo and therefore it only will have a very very small user base. So why not add it. If one of those users is happy... great
