Looks great, I really like the rating showing on list views. Can you point me to the code for that as I was playing around with music star rating recently in a similar way but gave up.
Oh and the grey music controls look a little out of place to me.
Everything else is very nice!

The rating circle is an include named "UserRatingCircle". Just look for it and put it where you want, within context of course. I changed it in the max XML to accept "size" and "font" as parameters.
You're right about them grey controls.. I changed it.

It's simple..
1. Goto the GitHub link on my first post
2. Look for the 'clone or download' green button on right side of page. Download and save it.
3. In Kodi, goto Addons menu and find the 'Install from zip file' option
4. You'll get the file browser so just look for the .zip file you got from github and select. That's all there is to it.
5. You can update the addon doing the same thing

Thanks. I started this a couple weeks ago only because I liked the current Estuary skin but the home screen was a deal breaker, and I wanted to use more screen real estate that classic Estuary seemed to not maximize on. (Just my opinion of course... they are nice skins and lots of good work went into them). I don't intend to provide much customization settings as others do since it's only a personal project (and if someone has similar taste to mine and can use it, that's great!). The kind of interfaces I like are ones that are simple - keep the lines clean, maximize the screen real estate, and keep navigation flow efficient with minimal input presses which Estuary and the Kodi skin engine has already done an amazing job with.

hi,
using this great for few days.
is there any way to edit main menu categories like the original skin - with library node editor?

No, not the categories above the widgets. If you want though, to change main menu items on the left, I mostly have it stubbed to incorporate the Skin Shortcuts Addon. You can add any library node there. I can probably post an update for that support, but I don't intend to do much past that, such as changing the sub-menus categories with it.
Update:
Changes posted on GitHub master. Behavior is, if you install the Skin Shortcuts Addon (from Kodi repository) it will recognize and support. Otherwise, the stock main menu is still intact.
