Hi Everyone!

I would like to know, if is possible to mod the actual skin version (Isengard) to show the Home Classic layout.
The user crni did this on the mod Xperience+, but it is for an old version of XBMC.

I really love Xperience skin, but the actual layout of the home, is cluttered in my opnion.
So, if is possible to mod it, to have the Classic home layout back, it will be great. And I think that are other users wanting the same.

If someone can guide me trough this, I can mod it myself and publish the results.

Here's the link for the mod of Xperience with classic home layout : http://forum.kodi.tv/showthread.php?tid=150116

Thanks in advance!

Yes, it's more than possible. No, I'm not going to be including it for the foreseeable future.

I've only seen one other person request this option - the majority appear to like a home screen that uses the full width.
couldn't agree more Piers, love the current development of the skin!
It's been added to the latest git version... it's still experimental

Hi Piers!

Tried it, but no luck! Sad
Enabling the "Classic Home" on the Skin settings doesn't change the home layout.
I've tried reloading the skin, and closing and oppening again kodi.

Is there something that I'm missing?
I installed the skin right from the github zip.
I'm on Windows 8.1, x64

Sorry to bother you again! But I also think that I misguided you.
The classic home layout that I was talking, was this one :

Again, thanks for your time and patience! Big Grin

Make sure you download the master branch, not the link in the first post.

As for the second type, that's not going to be added at all. It's from the original Xperience skin before `Black started Xperience1080.
