I like the main menu, but it's jingas show, hopefully he'll use my consolidated home code, if he does, then he might be more amenable to having a 3rd or 4th view option.
He was hating the fact that any changes would require him to make changes everywhere twice, the consolidated code solves that for him, but like all of us, real-life comes first.
I really like the overall theme and colors too. I'd like to see this style of home screen as an option in the future, but I'll definitely add it to my personal one.
(FYI, I have no say whatsoever in anything, I just help out with this or that here and there when I can)

thanks for the interest.
learning skinning is slow and i am remodeling an old house learning that too.
one thing i have been looking at is aeon nox 5. i am trying to figure out if i should mod nox or metropolis. nox has features that may be a better starting point for me. not sure.

just looked in to see what was up with Metropolis lately.
i was surprised to see the interest in my mod ideas, thank you.
MacGyver is 100% right. I can only add that the main reason I have not continued with this or any mod is more to do with the upkeep than the initial coding.
As MacGyver said I have been using Aeon Nox silvo as my base and making modest visual changes.
Aeon nox silvo is very well maintained offers the functions I most want.
for anyone thinking of learning to code by mod-ing a skin, like I am.
I have found it easier to start with a skin that already has the functions you want then make the visual changes as needed.
Maybe one day I will get my perfect union of metropolis and aeon nox that I see in my kodi dreams.

mxlance, would you mind providing the source images for the frames? I really like their look and would love to incorporate them into Metropolis.
