Two things I was hoping you could help me with:
1) I'm having some trouble getting the OSD to do what I want. For example, I can't get it to disappear during subtitle offset adjustment, making the latter function very difficult to use. I also can't seem get rid of buttons that I don't use, such as bookmarks or 3D-related stuff. I much prefer the Reloaded version of the OSD, but that too has button text cut off due to lack of space. Am I stupidly overlooking the options to fix this? (EDIT: ah the subtitle offset thing actually works fine if you use a shortkey for it!)
2) I was also wondering, was any progress ever made to make the skin a bit more OLED-friendly on home scree? I remember myself and some others posted about it a long while back. I also remember offering some help in trying to turn the low opacity gray darkening overlay into a 100% black one. Sadly I never got around to that (and admittedly I was never sure if I even understood you right as to the details of what causes the issue – but if you could point me in the right direction, making a grayish low opacity transparent image into a full-black low opacity transparent image should be a piece of cake.)
Thanks once again for all your hard work!
EDIT: see e.g. the image in this post: https://forum.kodi.tv/showthread.php?tid...pid3021094 where I joked the issue was 25% fixed due to us being able to remove the overlay from the fanart window. (I think this could solve it 100%, but then the darkening effect for fanart would be sacrificed in those cases):

EDIT 2: also see this image of the skin home screen set to 100% black background fallback on OLED, vs an image of what black normally looks like on the panel:

The idea with AZ-R was that the skin gets some coloring (light/dark). This happens, as you already noticed, through overlays and fallback images behind the fanart. Unfortunately, it is not possible to show only the fallback image without an overlay. If you want to look in the skin code yourself: the related textures are floor.png and background.jpg.
If you have any questions, please let me know.
