[RELEASE] reFocus 0.9.5

Steadily moving towards what should finally be getting close to a 1.0 release, I present you reFocus 0.9.5. Official releases will be smaller and released quicker from now on, focusing on bug fixing instead of new features.

Some of the changes in this release include fixed and reworked weather support, support for the artwork downloader add-on, reworked watchlist support, improved library integration of the nextaired add-on and more improvements to home menu customization. Please see the build log for a partial changelog.

IMPORTANT Current development of reFocus is done on and for Eden XBMC builds only. It is not recommended to run reFocus 0.9.1 and up on Dharma (10.1). Please do not report issues encountered using reFocus on XBMC 10.1 or lower. Dharma users are advised to use the compatible reFocus 0.8.9.6

GOOD TO KNOW
-As much as I have enjoyed xbmc on my xbox I have moved on to an htpc. Development of reFocus is done on and for current hardware. As a result there is no xbox support. Maybe it will work ok, maybe it won't. I have not tested this.
-The same applies to 4:3 screens.
-Keeping all of the above in mind though, I encourage anyone to provide a mod that adresses these.
-reFocus is not finished. While it's mature enough to be used, rough edges still exist.
-reFocus´ PVR support is to be considered experimental

Wow very nice

I presume I cannot use this with the latest Official XBMC Live build? Without all the new addon stuff. Having troubles updating it.

Could I just change the addon.xml to whatever it was before the change?

Your work is awesome.

I have a question: What weather fanart do we need to download?

And I have found a bug:

I added the skin.xml from confluence. im on 28256 i think. The skin just crashed at any option and I had to delete it. Tried to update xbmc live but failed ahh well I guess I just have to wait for the next stable xbmc release.

loving the skin!
a couple of things i've noticed:
the intial view for movies is a bit confusing - i thought the xbmc had crashed the first couple of times i went into it, until i hit right and realised it was the full screen fanart view...!
a pop up came up saying and add-on had been updated, but couldn't read it because the clock was in the way. speaking of the clock, it seems a bit wierd the way it looks different (better imo) when you actually go into movies/tv.
not keen on the pressing left to go back to the main menu after having clicked something - is there a way to have it recognise the back button to do that?
similar thing for when you're in in the library and hit back, i'm used to it taking you to the home screen, and if i want to see the order by genre/year etc screen, using ".." to get there...

just read all that back and realised it sounds kinda negative, it's not meant to
be - reFocus just became my default skin!

I'm absolutely amazed! It's beautiful Jeroen!

I feel the changes from one fanart to another in the Gallery view isn't as snappy as the rest of the skin but I've been living with Alaska not being snappy either

I know you'll update it further and further so I'll keep my mouth SHUT (wow!) about requests (for now

I agree, it is beautiful, btw @Maddogo which version of xbmc do you use?

Great looking skin!
Silly question-when i change to the skin in settings; it say the skin is not compatible (ver 2.10 rqd.)?
Assistance please.
