i dont know if you get notifications on line comments of commits but think I found a typo:

line 558 of skin.titan.helix/1080i/IncludesHomeMenuWidgets.xml

just in case you don't get a notification - figure it would be easier for you to fix it then a PR :)

submenus and 3 rows of tiles

fix submenus when there are 3 rows of tiles
bug: press down on bottom tiles doesn't open powermenu but the submenu

scrolling issue in menu

the example screenshot is the context menu of a TV Show.

Continuous scrolling only works down - not up.

FR: update to tv - next aired tv guide (see mockup)

how about something like this:

label with format of date like header: System.Date(DDD)

• bold and underlined for current day
• reg or bold for other days
• centered? left justified?
• a "watched" overlay in corner with show total for day

ps - yea I know today the 20th is not a monday LOL :-)

suggestion: replace use of common\button-nf.png with....

texture of: light opacity button focus color OR darker opacity of the currently set panel color maybe?

for example:

the old non-focus button texture:- the remaining buttons sort of look like orphans now in the in skin.

could be replaced with maybe one of the following through out the skin...?

demo of a couple of ideas:

another idea

code I used in demo in place of the static texture image....

colors/color_white.png
$INFO[Skin.String(ButtonFocusColor)]
Conditional

what do you think?

add detailed widget mode

Skin setting to enable detailed widgets. Like Arctic Zephyr or something

Q: Auto focus 1st unwatched episode

have question about the experimental feature... can you account for sorting of episodes acceding vs descending when jumping to first unwatched? I sort my episodes so the latest episode should be at the top of the list - but I may have several episodes unwatched - when enabled it never jumps to the first unwatched - only the first item in the list. hopefully you can read how the list is sorted and jump correctly. if not - no worries :) thanks - mario

Trakt - Titan Skin

Started work on trying to figure out how to skin the trakt dialog and context menu in the theme of titan skin.

I got some of it figured out but I think the scaling is off because I was taking code for 720p and trying to make it work with 1080i.

I kept messing up trying to scale it properly - right now it looks too small in scale to what it should look.

Also - I am sure you would want to have a little different look for the classic theme.

Here is what I got so far....

https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/2203431/trakt-titan-skin.zip

hopefully some of this is useful to you. if not, sorry.. :)

obviously you can just leave trakt as it - just was hoping to help out some more if I could!

Maybe I can work on it again in a day or two and see if I can get it looking better. hehe

bug: yahoo weather display

when yahoo is weather provider main conditions icon is missing and I am not sure if yahoo provides 5+ day, hourly, etc forecasts or not but the menu seems to be missing as well.

smart shortcuts issue?

I did a build of the skin from Git and noticed that something keeps scanning - my favorites?

reason I think that is because I have a favorite that points to update genesis plugin folders and I keep seeing the update happen over - and - over - and - over - and over ... you get the point and I had an old favorite that pointed to an old plugin I no longer have and I was getting errors about it now.

I was just curious if this could be part of your new smart shortcuts?

or if you had anything that would be scanning favorites over and over and over

because the log shows a lot of calls to plugin functions I have favorited,

Q: clear logo for tv and movies when video playback is via add-on

I noticed that xbmc doesn't provide an easy way to get clear art / clear logo when video playback is from an addon but I was looking the $INFO variables and noticed you can get folder and full filename path info - so I googled and found some code

specifically - this:

$INFO[Player.FolderPath,,../logo.png] to display the clear logo of tv and movies

would this work?

Bug: Met Office Weather - Feels Like / Missing Logo

In testing the Current Weather On Home Skin Setting option I noticed the following with "Met Office" weather provider:

"feels like" weather temp was obviously not right and the weather provider logo wasn't being displayed (missing).

now - the "feels like" could be that I use F instead of C maybe?

But not sure about the missing Logo.

Maybe you could you test on your system?

Question - Color Themes Mod (Concept, WIP)

Marcel,

I was playing around with a concept:

option to use color themes (predefined and included with the skin)

I found this site - http://www.colourlovers.com/ has lots of great color pallets to choose from for just such a thing.

here is a modified skinsettings and a couple quick/rough color "themes" - not at all final quality - just made a few for testing.

https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/2203431/titan%20color%20themes%20mod.zip

try out the code and let me know what u think...

basically just adds a setting that

enables the color themes selection in Appearance Settings
or
allows custom color selections via Skin Settings (as it exists now)

the thinking is to use the site I shared above to come up with some pleasing "themes" to include for use if the users don't want to bother fussing with custom options but instead just want to cycle through some nice ones you include with the skin.

Can't quite get it all to work correctly - the settings go back to "defaults" every time you re-enter skin settings - I thought I had the onload statements set up correctly to only go to defaults if nothing was set or it was set wrong.

couple pics

what am I doing wrong? - I am sure it's so obvious LOL

if you like the idea or any parts of it - feel free to fix/alter/trash any or all of it....

:-)

thanks sir!!

font12 definition, window header text & text entry focus

See: https://github.com/tknorris/salts/issues/86

seems Titan has some issues when it encounters an add-on that includes skin resources that are using confluence as a baseline.

one being a missing font12 definition, and apparently window header and text entry focus (both not displaying).

I can do a pull request after adding the font definition for font12 - actually should look and make sure all the default confluence fonts are defined for the skin just in case,

Do you have any insight into the window header text and text entry focus?

one of the includes maybe? I need to read up on those skin elements - still a novice at skin dev. :)

Thanks goes out to tknorris for the assistance

FR: QuickNav Menu

what are your thought on acustomizable quicknav menu in the style of
1080fx - https://github.com/vonH/1080XF/tree/Helix
or Bello?

both skins have a cool take on the concept.

you press "m" when not in "now playing" mode to bring up quicknav.(if you have never used the feature before)

as a side note - the now playing in a tab feature is cool too.

can you skin do something like that in addition the the "now playing in background" option you already have in your skin? - maybe a box up in one of the corners?

just a couple of thoughts/suggestions for your consideration.

thanks sir!

update: re(this new behaviour expected?)

FR - With OSD menu only cycle subtitles with 'Next' don't disable at the end

It's annoying if you are pressing the 'Next' button of the OSD subtitle menu when suddenly you disable the subs because your reached the end of the subtitles and pressed next. There is a seperate enable/disable button for that, 'Next' should only cycle the subs not disable them. The cycle+disable combo was introduced to make it easier on remotes, but was never meant to be used as such in the menu.

FR: Expand Skin Support for weather.wunderground (personal_api)

Marcel,

Thank you for considering this Feature Request.

If you didn't know already..... After Kodi and WU decided to disable the API key that was hard coded into the Weather Underground service and remove it from the Repo it has since then been released under a new branch on GitHub (personal_api) with support for a personal (and free) API key.

I use and love this weather service - it's so much better then Yahoo or OpenWeateher in my opinion.

If you are interested... GitHub source:

https://github.com/uNiversaI/weather.wunderground/tree/personal_api

Free Dev API Key Request:
http://www.wunderground.com/weather/api/

Note: suggest getting the "Anvil Plan" Developer plan/features for your API key if you move forward with this request.

Additional Items that would be nice to support in the skin:

WEEKEND, 36HOUR, ALERTS, and MAP info/display
TODAY & CURRENT (expand to include all available data returned from the service)

Also Note the following settings should be available in the side menu panel to adjust:

Location1id and Location1 thru 5
... and

BUG - Show Video Infomation on Pause -- Broken

Seems changes were made to the skins behavior in regards to the skin setting: "Show Video Information on Pause"

When set and playback is Paused it does not honor the following setting:

Only PAUSED is displayed - no video info.

Can we please go back to the expected behavior?

I know I read one guy complaining about this in the forum - he did not seem to understand what Plot and Video Info are -- and the skin settings to enable/disable the display of such elements.

So when this setting is enabled only the bottom part should be displayed on Pause - the Info (not the Plot),

With the latest changes I have to press "I" when Paused to get video info (and that displays the plot too)

Hopefully we can go back to how it worked before.

Appears the changes were made in this commit:

16145fb

The code hi-lighted in yellow is the original code the worked as expected - I tested reverting to that code again and it seemed to have restored things.

Thanks Marcel!!
