Could you please check latest Git ? I've put in a small check to not presort the colors if the list is provided by the skin...
Latest git works great! Took me a while, but here's what I came up with. Thanks again!

Edit: One issue I had, I couldn't get the texturenofocus for the buttons to show up when customizing the skin.

Haha finally :]
Can I borrow it?
@tomer953

Have at it! Smile

Edit: Ha, that's the same image I used for the colors, though I found it via Google.

Nice, where can I have a look at the code and mind if I borrow some of it?

Thanks.

Wow, impressive! That must have costed you some work creating it. Very nice.

What do you mean with the texturenofocus for the buttons ?

It's in my Arctic Zephyr mod, you're welcome to use any of it. Here's the colors.xml.

Yeah, at least a few hours to copy/paste the hex codes from a color table image. Used Excel to format the tags though, so that was quick and painless. Thanks again for the quick change to unsorted colors!

For some reason, I can't get the unfocused textures to show up for the save/none buttons. Haven't been able to figure it out yet, will test some more. Here's the dialog xml...

https://github.com/bryanbrazil/skin.arct...Picker.xml

Edit: Now I'm thinking the unfocused texture I'm using is probably just not very visible on the light dialog background. Please disregard until I test.

Edit 2: Yeah, I was using a texture that just didn't show up, all fixed.
Marcel I think you should use his layout as default for the helper

Thanks for reporting. Now fixed on Git.

This is a helper addon, meant for skinners to include in their skins. Even if I will tell you where to find addons and the Kodi repo it will probably not help you. What is it why you're trying to install this addon manually ? If it is for a skin it will be installed automatically, no actions needed.
HI Marcelveldt

I wanted to change my view of IPTV simple client by following links here:
http://forum.kodi.tv/showthread.php?tid=238015

and they refer to this thread.

are you able to make some video tutorial please?
