Also checked that one out but I also don't like the incredibly limited viewtypes.

In Arctic I use the following:

TV Shows: Lovefilm>Classic Info>Reel
Movies: Classic Info
New Shows: Info List

Movies includes rotating discart and landscape fanart for both movies and TV shows. The viewtypes in Arctic are also incredibly well done and good looking.

It really is beautiful. Changing OSD to on-screen is also the best looking OSD out there.

Bello is nice, but doesn't cut it for me. It's too limited and is only good looking on the home screen, which even then imho becomes a little boring.

BTW, Aeon Nox 5 preview is out. It's becoming the new default skin for XBMC. It is incredibly boring but there should be some great mods for it soon...

Am I right in saying Arctic is also known as ReFocus Big?

If not I downloaded the completely wrong skin. Could somebody then please give me the direct download link for Arctic?

Thanks

By far the best skin around IMO. Will try do a screen recording of my setup as soon as I can find some decent screen recording software. All the stuff I've found so far is just crap...

Holy crap. That is absolutely nothing like the one I somehow downloaded. As soon as wife finishes her current Mentalist episode, I am installing the correct one.

/hangs head in shame.

Thanks DJ...
 
Then set it up like this:

Appearance - dark mode
Fonts - big

TV Shows: Lovefilm>Classic Info>Reel
Movies: Classic Info with rotating discart or Info-poster with discart
New Shows: Info List no back panel

OSD - on-screen for both music and videos.

Conditional weather fanart
Custom multi-image backgrounds

That is beautiful imo. Especially with music, with lyrics set to start automatically. Just remember to set CuLRC Lyrics as default lyrics provider in skin settings.

Also remember to change it from default home screen to panel in skin settings...

Just installed.

Really awesome!

I can't quite get navigational sounds to work though. Working for you?

EDIT: Ah never mind. Sorted. :)
 
anybody experiencing playback problems in the last feww weeks with frodo? getting buffering and then file just stops. do i need to update to the latest version?
 
just realised that i would have to setup the sab suite again. not smaaking that at the moment. but if this playback issues persist i will have no choice.
 
Careful. Sickbeard and SABNZBD aren't 100% compatible with Gotham, so be sure what version you're installing. You might land up having to do a manual install of the plugins, so make a backup of the individual addons folders, and the userdata folders for SABNZBD, Sickbeard, and Couchpotato...
 
Donner dag! Will wait it out then. If the wife can't watch greys again there's gonna be kark. I wonder if it's a setting but I haven't changed anything. Hope Google has an answer.
