how skin options was handled in cirus/citrus was good. iirc. ill have to mess around with 0.9 and list bugs/requests once its out. and make compares to Cirus/Citrus as needed.

@rdyott I'm counting on you doing so, bud. I'd expect no less.
 

Hi Rufoo,
I want to first say thank you for this wonderful mod and all the work you have done so far to keep everything up to date. I was hoping to ask you 2 questions.

@gman12 You're welcome and sure thing.
 

1.) You said you will be going Live soon with Lyrebird 0.90. Are you still planning on doing that by this weekend sometime and will it be in the Official Kodi Skins? Also, how long roughly do you think it'll go to a 1.0 Version after you work out any bugs?

0.90 WAS supposed to be this weekend, however, I was unwell this week and didn't get the full amount of time I wanted to dedicate to it. So it'll be delayed by a few days. 0.90 will be downloadable from the forum thread here. 1.0 will go live shortly afterwards (1.0 will be the actual version that appears in the Kodi repo) as from 0.90 I'll be freezing any new additional views and features from that point. I've still got more views and things I want to cram in (like RetroPlayer support) but those can wait until after 1.0. Versions between 0.90 to 1.0 will just be about responding to feedback and quickly stamping out bugs I'm notified of - depending on how responsive the userbase is will ultimately determine how quickly the versions move from 0.90 to 1.0. These updates, should feedback be swift enough, will come out every few days seeing as it is just about polishing and not about designing or new elements.
 

2.) Not sure if you could help with this question, but since your skin has such great game Views I thought I'd ask. I'm using Kodi 18.1 on an Amazon Fire TV Cube and my roms I'm going to be using are on a Hard Drive which is attached to my Asus Router. What exactly do I need to install for Addons within Kodi to get them up and running and look like the screens with your Lyrebird Skin?

Sure. I can help you. First and foremost you'll need the absolutely essential Advanced Emulator Launcher by Wintermute0110. You'll need assets for AEL, like your boxes, screenshots, title screens, fanart, etc... There are a number of websites that offer these things, many of which are listed on the first page of the AEL thread, otherwise Google Images is always a good place to start. Depending on the system, you'll either find it easier or trickier to create a look you like. If you're wanting to replicate a look from a screenshot I can give you the info of how.
