@beatmasterrs FYI

the indicators "Releoded" seems broken  from AZR 1.1.55 and one of the last PR

with AZR public 1.1.55 it is good :

Custom colors are a mess! I like grayscale colors, but getting one screen to look great, like the home menu, totally trashes the colors somewhere else. I tweaked as much as I could, but the list fonts for example are washed out, when they receive the focus. Even setting the transparency effect has no effect.

Sorry I m bit curious. I m very surprise you have so many problem with the colors
All is possible ... and perhaps there is a misunderstanding here
Is it possible to have some screenshot to illustrate your problems ?

[Zurg]

I need an advise. What's your suggestions ?

Love the skin. Thanks for all the great efforts you’ve put into this :-)

I have two questions though:
1. When I’m using the “Poster Flix (v2)” view, checking or unchecking the “Full-size Fanart” option doesn’t seem to make any difference. I expect the fanart to be fully visible in the top right when I’m checking this option, but that’s not really working. Am I doing something wrong?
2. When looking at the “Information” page of a movie, I get the full list of media icons. Is it possible to adjust this view, so I can for example select which media icons I want (only the ratings) and disable the actor pictures?

Thanks for your response and keep up the great work!

Thanks for your feedback  

1.: It should be so that the fanart on the top right can only have the full size when Blur is activated, otherwise it can lead to unsightly double images:

With blur, this is not an problem, cause the left side of the screen is blurred, therefore it does not matter, if the right fanart has full size, or not:

watch gallery

Maybe I should let the user decide whether to use fullsize fanart or not, but so far I have been able to avoid unattractive effects and a negative user experience with it. However, I will not be able to completely prevent unsightly effects, since there will soon be not only blur effects, but also pixelate/twotone effects.

2.: The recent changes to the icons came from @fabricionaweb is think, and the reason to show alle icons in the video info was good, if I remember correctly.  Now, making this customizable would again mean a lot of options. I have the feeling that the skin is already bursting apart because there are so many options.

With the next update there will be a lot of adjustments, a few features and many issues will be fixed.

Thanks for the quick and clear reply! Much appreciated.

On the second point, fully understand. In my opinion, it’s too much. In someone else’s opinion, it’s exactly what they need. I’m more than happy to just except the way it currently is.

On the first point, I fully understand your explanation. Guess my explanation wasn’t too clear, though . I have the blur function enabled. However, the fanart is still spread across the full screen and not just at the top right of the screen (as I would expect). I’ve checked and unchecked the function to show the fanart in full-size several times, but whether it’s checked or not doesn’t make any difference to the way the fanart is shown.

Hope this clarifies my issue. Happy to wait for the next release as this might solve the issue. Or perhaps it would be useful for you if I share some screenshots?

Thanks a lot Please test the latest master:

https://github.com/beatmasterRS/skin.arc...master.zip

Note: with the next version, we use litebox.script for blur. Its included in the master version. Maybe you need to "disable and enable blur in skin settings" or "restart kodi after updating, if blur was enabled".

If that doesnt fix the issue with fullsize fanart and using blur, please provide your settings.xml, located in 

userdata\addon_data\skin.arctic.zephyr.mod. You can send me the content in a pm or upload the settings.xml file to a free filehoster.

Thanks! Installing the latest master has solved the issue. Thanks so much

Final question, I initially installed your skin through the repo. Did the installation of the latest master disable the automatic updates? Happy to manually update it, but just want to make sure I'm not missing out on any future updates.
