[Mr. V]

@schimi2k - glad the new widgets are generally working well for you (and here's hoping the general Skin Shortcuts update - whether thats the menu items, the widgets, the Mr V. Widgets appearance, or whatever) is all working equally well. I'd particularly like to thank you for taking the time to test and feedback on such specific issues.

As it is, from my understanding Mr. V will be pushing a major update to the dev git in the next day or two with lots of new widget view options (to bring MadNox widget view options up-to-date with Nox 5: Silvo). Though it will also include one or more regressions (from what I understand, the system info widget won't be available straight away). As the intention is for Mr. V's widget stylings to be (as) synchronised (as possible) between Nox 5: Silvo and MadNox, it may be worth waiting until this major update lands before doing detailed testing (And once I see how many-or-few regressions there are, I'll know whether to add such things as fixing the widget highlight colour to the to-do list).

Specifically regarding the 'Mixed' widget, from my understanding this would be a Mr. V thing rather than a Skin Shortcuts/Me thing (which is to say, its about how the widgets are displayed, rather than what widgets are available for display). My expectation is that such an option won't be available by the time we PR these changes as Skin Shortcuts doesn't easily support a widget containing two or more source, and I've seen no sign of such a widget in Mr. V's work. Having said that, assuming a static widget (without getting into too much detail, Skin Shortcuts supports 3 types of widgets:- Dynamic (most of them); Statically Dynamic (e.g. weather - we provide a static list which is loaded dynamically when needed); Static (current system info widget).

Such a widget could potentially be implemented statically in the future, but lets get the fundamentals PR'd first...

Edit:- And as I I've intimated previously (and I know I'm not necessarily speaking for everyone contributing to the skin shortcut branch here) but my own interest in this is getting the functionality - not necessarily the perfect appearance - into MadNox. So, and I say this particularly as someone who is notoriously rubbish at the GUI stuff, if there is - for example - a font issue with the weather widget being pointed out by someone who very much IS a GUI guy, please do look into fixing it (And please ask if you need help knowing where/how to fix it!)

I am working on the madnox widgets as write this post. All fonts and highlight colours ect will be taken care of, so it will be identical to silvo widget in every other way including all widget options. Everything will work the same as nox silvo. The only exception will be the widget info dialog for the media flags. Not sure how you guys plan to handle this in the future with the addition of the image resource addons in Jarvis. If any changes are needed it as simple some small changes to the widget vars.

Correct on the system info widget, this will be added not long after I push the big update. The main thing that would slow me down for the system info widget is artwork. For each static item I need a square icon and fanart image. If schimi2K could provide some artwork that would be great. It would help me speed things up for the system info widget.

For the mixed widgets they wont be available at the time of the update. I would just use the skin helper mixed widgets. With some small changes to the overrides they should mostly work. I actually had them working within silvo but removed them temporally. All the widget Vars artwork should support mixed widgets. So this will be another addition after the big update.
