library node editor and how it works

creating a widget

pick a widget slot and give a name to show poster you will need to give it a name.xml eg: christmas.xml

create new widget christmas with out .xml

Looking forward to your skin being finished, I have a question for me, will it have a "collapsable", main menu like estuarymodv2 ?

changes.

favourites link plugin://script.categories/?content_type=video&mode=listCat&url=freeview

Just picking up on that post you made about transparency/overlay in another thread, I added a light coloured BG to jade , but when opening home screen , its has a darker overlay which I cant find where to disable it?
My BG is just set with <texture></texture> , no color diffuse text .

whats an "image category" ?
EDIT : don't bother lol, am using your skin but I don't use nodes feature , far too complicated for me. I either edit xml 's or I use smart playlists.

will need to edit home and remove
<control type="group">
                   <height>1080</height>
                   <control type="image">

                       <left>-130</left>

                       <visible>Skin.HasSetting(High_Contrast)</visible>
                   </control>

the best image pack for changing images is resource.images.skinbackgrounds.clear

\Kodi\addons\resource.images.skinbackgrounds.clear\resources images are in jpg format

custom image names
custommenu_1
custommenu_2
custommenu_3
custommenu_4
custommenu_5
myhome
skinsearch

service.library.data.provider
script.embuary.helper
script.skin.helper.widgets
can be used to provide data to widgets

after testing on kodi 19 plugin.library.node.editor would not work so i have change file type from only node to file (playlist anyware)
folder folderpath
or link
Movies   videodb://movies/genres/
MovieTitles     videodb://movies/titles/
library://video/movies/
widget type

main menu order
