Thank you Gade for beginning to work on this version Smile ,oh but there seam to be something wrong with the skin......On my background home screen something gray like big icons appear on the background like in this image...
Image
Second problem is when you shall choice what a folder contains like movies or TV Series this weird thing appear.....showing in this image....
Image
I have reseted the skin setting but when restarting Kodi it stays the same.

Hope you might know a way to fix this....Thank you again Gade.

Thanks for the report.

Have you installed directly using the master branch from Github? That would be the reason for those icons appearing. You need to install as the first post describes. You can download using this link.

Many dialogs have changed with Kodi 17. I will look at that one right away.

Cheers
Gade

Installing from Github have probably messed the textures up. You need to manually delete the skin.rapier folder and install again from zip.

To fix the content settings dialog, you can manually download this xml file and place it in skin.rapier/720p folder. Replace the existing one.

You also need the updated english language file.
Download this file and replace the existing one in skin.rapier/language/English.

Then the content settings dialog should work correctly.

Note that the looks of the dialog has changed.

Thank you Gade this solved the second problem.......But the last capture i took look the same...not sure I like the look as if white back ground then text very hard to read....I liked the old black glass on the movies TV series menus...any chance to get this back??

plus forgot that the image on the left do not show up either as you can see in the captured image.

The textures have not changed at all and all views looks the same, so you must have done something wrong.

Which nightly do you use? I noticed some images issues with some of the recent ones.
I use: KodiSetup-20160213-637ba39-master

I did exactly as you said Gade.....the version I'm using is ......KodiSetup-20160214-221b1a8-master ,Could you check this version on your setup and see if it breaks your skin.....if not then its weird...because I did delete the old skin and installed it again and replaced the xml plus language file......So it should work right?
Reply
#9
I did test your version and it worked so I can confirm it is the version I was using that was breaking your skin...
Reply
#10
So thank you Gade now everything seam to work again.....Thank you for taking the time Gade....This helped a lot.
Reply
#11
Glad you got it sorted out.

Remember that the nightlies for Kodi 17 are in very early alpha stages now.
Reply
#12
I did also Install from 9.9.0 to newer 9.9.1 version of the skin now and so what I see nothing seam wrong...
And yes I know it is in early Alpha but I feel this Kodi Version works better than Jarvis plus that I like the newest stuff Smile
Again thank you Gade.

Seams like all the latest Kodi Nightly builds break your skin, Tried the two latest today and they both broke your skin like that version I did use before ,and the only one working is still the version you told me you used so I'm thinking they have changed something with the new builds in Skin settings....Because I had no problem when I used nightly versions in Kodi Jarvis but in Krypton something seam to have changed ...Maybe you could look into this and fix the skin so it can be updated with nightly for Krypton as Jarvis did.....Just wanted to notise this so you know that newer Nightly Versions break your skin......
Have a great Weekend Smile

I just pushed update 9.9.3 which fixes the texture issues.

Seems there was an update for Krypton to the texture packer tool used to create the compressed texture files.
Reply
#15
Thank you am using 9.9.4 and everything works again -Good work- Smile
Have a nice Sunday now.
