Hi Tgx,
I installed BGN 4.0 from the Kodi directory in Isengard.
Should the changelog reference above be 4.0.0?
May I suggest that you put a reference and link to this blog in the OP of the BGN 3.x blog so that those who are interested can join in.
Can the master.zip above be installed directly from Kodi without the need to unzip it?

I fixed the version number. Thanks.

The master.zip file can be installed directly from Kodi as any other addon. It's the in-development version.
To be 100% sure to have a successful installation, please follow the steps described in the first post. It purges any previous version of the Black Glass Nova skin.

I followed the instructions in the op, including the download, but I do not see the new options to modify the Home Screen posted in your BGN3 thread, which is why I posted in the BGN3 thread.

What am I missing?

It's here: Settings -> Skin Settings -> Home -> Customize menu items and widgets

This is Black Glass Nova 3.4.1. It's not the version on Github.
You got something wrong. Please check all the steps carefully.

If you can't wait for the official skin update in Kodi add-on repository, you can manually install the latest skin revision from GitHub. Here is how:

1. Switch to the "Confluence" skin in Settings.
2. Uninstall "Black Glass Nova" from installed Addons
3. Close Kodi
4. Go into your "packages" folder:
  • Android -> Android/data/org.xbmc.kodi/files/.kodi/addons/packages/
  • iOS -> /private/var/mobile/Library/Preferences/kodi/addons/packages/
  • Linux -> ~/.kodi/addons/packages/
  • Mac OS X -> /Users/<your_user_name>/Library/Application Support/kodi/addons/packages/
  • OpenELEC -> /storage/.kodi/addons/packages/
  • Windows XP, 7, 8 -> %appdata%\kodi\addons\packages\
and delete every file starting with "skin.blackglassnova"

5. Download the zipped skin from https://github.com/Tgxcorporation/skin.b...master.zip
6. Start Kodi and go to Settings -> Add-ons and select "Install from zipped file". Browse for the file downloaded in point n. 5 and press "ok". The updated skin should install.

OK, I will download from link above and re-install

Now using version 4.2.0
Two issues I am having are:-
1. Using List view (maybe rightlist) with Disable auto sliding animations of list views set to 'Yes', the watched/unwatched indicators have shifted from the right of the box to the left of the episode box and they are misaligned so the left hand border of the box partly covers the watched/unwatched indicators
2. The icons in the favourite screen are large and as I have quite a few favourites I have to scroll over multiple rows to get the one I wish to select. I note large icons on the favourite screen is one of the changes listed in your release notes on Github, I preferred it as it was but cannot find a way to reduce the size of the icons, I was hoping I could just click left and change the view as you can in other screens. Is it possible to change the size of the icons in the favourite screen in version 4.2.0?

1- this is the new layout for lists. See this thread: http://forum.kodi.tv/showthread.php?tid=226148
2 - I'll include the option in the next version.

Thanks

Season indicator still not showing as watched.

All episodes in the season showing as watched. Manually set season as watched, season indicator stayed as unwatched.
