P.S: The label that indicates the position of the movie in imdb has disappeared.

Which rating do you mean? The top250?

DOWNLOAD 2.0.1

2.0
1. Added a Quick navigation shortcuts menu.
2. Further code updates from Eminence 2.5.
3. Fix for Library selection buttons.
4. A fix for true hidden headers.
5. PVR visual fixes.
6. Overhaul of the available views.
7. Further mouse control improvements.

This update brings two new things. The first is a Quick Navigation feature. It uses skin shortcuts to set up, which means that you can place pretty much anything in there for easy access. You can reach it in two ways. The first, if you are a remote user, is by getting to the setting menu and pressing up. It will then show the menu. Pressing down from QuickNav will return you to the place you were before, while pressing up will exit straight to the Home screen. If you are a mouse user, you can reach the quickmenu by going to the top of the screen with your cursor. That will drop down the menu. Obviously, the remote users are at a slight disadvantage since there are places where there is just no settings panel, but I couldn't find an equally reliable method that works in more places.

The second update is a rough rework of the available views selection. The view selector uses Kodi's content tags to determine availability, which resulted in many missing options. On the other hand, there were often mishaps since something like list view still didn't work in PVR modes. So, I've rewritten all the content tags for the selector, listing the ones that were confirmed to work, i.e. the ones that did not immediately revert back to list.

This means that you can have on average 5-6 available views for previously unavailable places like addons, genres, actors, tags, etc. This also expanded the views for videos, images, songs and the like (the youtube addon now has 10 usable views). Keep in mind that even in these cases there are exceptions. For instance, in some places the views that work with the "files" category won't work in more peculiar files sections. Even in the views that don't error out, some of them look ugly or are useless for certain content types.

I didn't have the strength to fine-tune the views even more. If someone would be willing to help speed things up, I need a catalog of the views that aren't really useful/appropriate for the various content types, so I can remove them from the list sooner (for example, the thumbs view is useless for the Genre category). I'll be sure to get around to it, but since I don't personally use many of these categories, it will be pretty tedious. Also, another thing to consider is that some of the views, especially the artwork-based ones, could be modified slightly to be better suited for certain content, although that's a ways away.

Thanks for your work. Just a report: with your first version (no number, the really first) the home tile (upper left, the "media center" tile) was working nice, but the next releases (until the recent 2.0) the tile is broken, it's not appear. Only the text and logo.

Can you fix it?

Thanks again

PS: The problem is in the Includes_Furniture.xml, replacing with the previous one fix the problem. I'll see inside.+

PS2: OK. Edit Includes_Furniture.xml file and search the line:

<visible>[VideoPlayer.IsFullscreen + !Skin.HasSetting(disable.headertile)]</visible>

Replace the line (3 times) with:

<visible>[VideoPlayer.IsFullscreen | !Skin.HasSetting(disable.headertile)]</visible>

Fixed

Having said that, I would say that this is my testing so I would hope that a few others can chime in and confirm or not confirm whether they also have the same issue. Could always be user error lol but just wanted to report this.

Again, thanks for taking time out of your schedule to make a good skin and transforming it into Kodi's best skin by far.

DOWNLOAD 2.0.2

As promised, here's a quick update. I've reverted back the header mishap, modified some more of the backgrounds and dialogs code to match Eminence 2.5.

I've also added a new feature that I modified from the Estuary MOD skin. By pressing the info OSD button (the button that's on the screen, not the keyboard), you will have a new panel with a special "cast scroll" for the item being played. This is enabled by a new skinhelper feature.

Pressing the i on the keyboard will pop-up the info panel, and whichever mode was chosen. The OSD button functions as a setting toggle, so you can practically just leave it on and have the cast overlay the regular info, which will be hidden underneath. The same behaviour applies if you've selected info on pause, so effectively you have two types on infopanels available. Depending on your preference, you can use them as a sort of quick switch, or as two distinct options.

Enjoy.

2.0.3
1. Power menu fix.
2. ColorPicker fixes.
3. Moved the busy spinner.
4. Moved the user ratings under the clock.

I've moved the star rating under the clock to relax the space in the bottom a bit. I quite like the way it looks, but I can change it back if you don't like it. I've also moved the spinner next to the clock when the headers are disabled. Without the header, the spinner collides with the large labels in the top section, which is pretty ugly. This was the only convenient place to move it.

@jdig4240: Fixed in this update! Nice catch!

@SkywalkerPD: Nope, you're not missing anything. It seems that the color picker has been less than friendly since Krypton! I haven't actually entered it in a long time, so I haven't even noticed it. Fixed most of the problems in this update. Be mindful, for whatever reason, the "Cancel" button doesn't work, so every time you enter the addon, you have to save the color to leave the window. But that's what the reset button is there for. xD

@tocinillo: From what you've described and the changes you've listed, it seems to me that the problem is in the animation. The rest of the interface probably expects the animation to be there, and lift everything up by 64 pixels. When this doesn't happen, it bugs out. Still, I could be wrong, a couple of screenshots might help. BTW, what is needed to install/use Plex? If there's an easy setup, I can try and add some kind of special interface for Plex users.
