Is it possible to have an option to globally change the default view? I know you can change it for each screen but what I m doing now is changing it every time it updates from default view 52, SIO2 view to 50, Big List, which I prefer, vi the skin.sio2x/1080i/MyVidNav file (if i remember correctly).
I would also prefer to have the side screen which will give you additionl optiuons (like search and vies etc, esp Fullscreen when a vid is buffering) to be on the left side, instead of the right, mainly due to the fact that I use a mouse to access my Kodi/XBMC and I often times get the side screen popping out like crazy when I am trying to scroll down.
Other than that, this is awesome, I much prefer it over the original SIO2

I am using the mouse (actually a targus pointer/mouse thing) mainly because it is here and my 6 year old can use it without problems. For myself I usually use either Yatse remote or awxi web interface via my laptop browser. so the frustration with the pop out screen really comes from my daughter This is why I am asking. But thanks for the advice!
I also found if i set this to false, then the side screen doesnt pop out..but it isnt ideal
<control type="group" description="Side menu 9000 group">
<visible allowhiddenfocus="false">ControlGroup(9000).HasFocus() + !Window.IsVisible(traktContextMenu.xml)</visible>
I have already edited the MyVideoNav.xml, which works perfectly, but I guess the issue is when I update, it writes over this so I have to remember to reedit it...my wife doesnt know anything about linux, so she gets mad when it "magically" changes back to what i had "fixed" already So hence I was wondering if there could be something in the settings to set the default view for the entire skin. But if not, no worries, I can always edit the file without issues.
Thanks again for the great skin

On this skin, I have found one lingering bug. I wasn't worried about it because it's pretty inconsequential, but then I thought maybe I should go ahead and let you know about it... On the shelf, the titles above items on the shelf when Music is highlighted are off-centered by a pretty large amount. Music is the only thing that has this problem.
Other than that it appears to be pretty bug-free! Oh, and thanks for giving us a way to turn off the pop-out when Movies and TV Shows are in icon view. I like it, but that popout really seemed to drag down my poor little Pi.

cheers,
and apologize to your daughter on my behalf for the frustration

You did great bringing it up!!! Please feel free to report even the smallest bug you find.. helps me out a lot.
That's a misalignment due to the late import of some helix code into gotham
not sure if i will fix it, only because Helix seems so imminent... and I'd have to install gotham on another machine...
here's the fix for the braves:
replace:
ADDONFOLDER/skin.sio2x1080i/Shelf_Elements.xml
with:
https://raw.githubusercontent.com/fastco...ements.xml
(open link, if it doesn't automatically download the file, just choose "save as" in your browser and save as Shelf_Elements.xml )
sorry for not pushing an update. But I believe we will be on Helix pretty soon.
cheers.
and thanks for enjoying the skin.
also if you find that some stuff is pushing too much on systems (i.e. your PI) please let me know.. sometimes I get drawn to fanciness, when it actually pointless. I'd rather the skin look good but be smooth than look amazing and break the whole experience to wait for an animation... so please keep hunting them bugs on my behalf!!!!

In other news, what do you think of the Cubox? My next upgrade will be from the Pi to the Cubox i4Pro.

- which version should I be using with Kodi Beta 2?
- where do I get this?
I noticed that the version of SiO2 I have is probably older, as it still shows the XBMC logo in the System/Settings section instead of the Kodi logo. Also,
- is there a more complete guide to customizing the home page with SiO2, e.g. how to change the home page icons, home page background image, how to show sub-objects (e.g. videos) for the Movies and TV add-ons on the home page (my version only shows this for the Videos icon).
Cheers and thanks
