[WIP] "Breeze"

Noticed u added clearlogos for movies , COOL!!! looks nice.
Now it would really complete the pack for me if u did the same for CDart in the movie library, and add a way in video info (i) to look for the art for each movie. As far as i'm aware of, only skin with all this is Cirrus.

Congratulations, looking forward to know more and more of the future of Breeze!

I did? Ha, I guess that's just using the code for tv show logos because I haven't added anything new (I'm clearly such a good coder that I even managed to future proof it for new features... that or it's just luck )!?

Funnily enough, we came from reFocus which has a very calming and easy viewing blue theme running through the entire skin.

When I left this skin on after testing, she found it very uncomfortable to view, as late at night, when a movie finishes, in a dark room... This skin hits you with the full force of a full backlit 55"LED TV blasting out white into your dark accustomed eyes.

For this reason, I've rolled back to refocus and I too wonder if it's possible to add a skin theme based on the refocus colour scheme etc (or similar) as its one of the easiest on the eyes, with no major transitions or co traits between pages etc.

I understand if not of course, as this each skin is not suited to every individual, however I though I'd add our expereice as it was so similar to the poster above and may be something the dev could take into consideration for future relases.

Thanks again,
Wonderful skin so far and we hope to test it out again in the future.

Keep up the great work.

I do plan on doing themes, definitely going to go with a reFocus style blue and probably some sort of grey as well.


More uni deadlines in just over a week so not working on it at all at the moment. Once these deadlines are out of the way I think I've only got 6 more weeks until I'm done for the summer, so I will have a lot more free time to spend on this!

Well, i didn't notice the clear logos before, at least, on the movie library, lol


PS: I'm getting old

I can't find any clearlogos anywhere and I checked, there are logos saved in the movie folder. In what view can you see the logos? A screenshot would be nice.

Fantastic!

It's a beautiful and fluid skin, I think it's a stunning piece of work.

I'd love to use it indefinitely, and I look forward to the summer so I can do so.
Other than the bright colour scheme, this skin is close to perfection.

Refocus is a wonderful skin, solid, stable, fast very easy on the eye... The blue theme that runs throughout is so consistent and reliable that has become our/my goto skin for all setups. It's perfect for day and night viewing, perfect for a home theatre.

When breeze has a refocus style solid, consistent coloured theme, I'm pretty sure this will ake its place and breeze will become my goto skin.

So I thank you for all your hard work, wish you well for your upcoming exams/study's and I eagerly await your summer updates. It's am impressive skin and I literally am excited for a final release.

Keep up the wonderful work, its close to bring the one skin that answers all my prayers and I sincerely appreciate all the effort you have put into this wonderful skin!

Thanks again,
Pat~

How do I get the Breeze (GIT)? I only have the regular one. I downloaded it from here: https://github.com/Eddage/skin.breeze

Is there any way to get automatc updates?

I believe it's in the Passion repository, if i am not mistaken

Thanks, I found it, but no logos though. Perhaps it takes some time.

This skin's getting better and better, the list view with DVD/BD covers turned on is super sick, I love the clean white look of it.

Am i supposed to get ongoing tv show on the start screen or is that not implemented yet?

I can confirm this not working specific to Breeze skin. I can reproduce it reliably. Breeze will display the Ongoing TV shows tile if you start XBMC using another skin where it's working (such as Nox). Once you verify it's working and switch to Breeze, the watched TV shows will display. However, If XBMC is set to use Breeze and then restarted, the Ongoing TV Shows tile will be blank. Likewise, at this point switching back to a skin like Nox where it normally works means that Nox will also fail to display the Ongoing TV Shows content.

I have also seen error messages in the log when XBMC is started using Breeze that indicate that XBMC cannot find the watchlist script (which is in place in my install and I do have working for other skins). I believe it is a loading error where Breeze is failing to load the watchlist script properly.

Tried your trick but now not even the other skin shows anything. Any solution to this? :-(
