This dialog comes from the Kodi application itself.

Thanks for that..

When I want to enable ... in settings (show map above) so step back in menu's it's not held in settings and is enabled again when I go back. Tried to set it in settings.xml on true but this does not works also.

Sorry to say, but i don't understand your message. Also, it sounds like it may be something not specific to this skin but maybe a generic Kodi question.

If you're sure that this is an issue or question exactly specific to this skin, please try to provide some more clear details and maybe some marked screenshots.

Thanks and happy holidays!

When I go to settings > mediasettings > enable headfolder (...) > when I enable that and go back > this setting is again enabled

disabled again I mean

@dutchghost

Go to

Skin settings  >  Advanced  >  Visual options & Views  >  Automatically disable "Show parent folder items"  >  uncheck this option

...and try again after that.

Thanks, that did it.

@all
Happy holidays

Please remove OSD background gradient! if you jump few times it becomess so irritating. and having gradient there is part of outdated style trend.

@domodo

Hi, thanks for the feedback.
I understand.
This topic is already on my list.

That being said, it's not a topic which can be improved by "just removing the gradient and everything is better/great".
Changing anything about the top and bottom gradients has many consequences and implications on other situations within Music OSD, LiveTV, fade-in/out animations and such which creates other visual issues/downsides which have to be considered.

I have some improvement ideas which i'm already trying out at the moment.

I'll let you know via ping as soon as there is something new to test. ^^

Now online for all Kodi generations

The just released version x.7.9 contains
"Reworked and improved Fullscreen OSD shadow visuals"

Feel free to test and provide feedback.

I took your feedback as a chance to switch around some things on my To-Do list and bring the shadow/gradient changes forward in time.
Quite happy with the result.

Thank  you for considering it.
Are you concerned about contrast/readability of text without background? There are quite a few skins that don't have background. and also many provide minimal or alternative OSD as a configuration option.
You could leave existing and add "minimal" as config option that shows only the bar when you skip. and has no backgrounds.

@domodo

No worries.

According to your message i guess you did not have the chance yet to update and try the new version(?)
It's already implemented now and you can have a look. See my later posts. ^^
