First I want to mention the I'm a fan of this original skin, and I'm using for years.
I know the main advantage of this mod is the NETFLIX look,
But my purpose is the keep the original look as I have now.
The main reason I want to move to this mode is that the original is only support Kodi v17 and I want to move forward to v18.

So I install this mod.
First it looks great, well done.
But I still have some problems with that in order to get the original look of Titan as I have now.
I tried to explain it welll as I can.
Thanks.

Regarding version of 07/24/2020 - Titan Bingie mod 1.0.3

1) General:

1a) How can I disable the the "NETFLIX" intro splash image? I want only the kodi image.
I only found a way to disable the animation but not the image:
- General Skin Settings -> Splash Screen Setting -> Disable animated splash screen (image instead)

1b) In addition to "1a". How can I disable/hide/remove the "NETFLIX" logo in the bottom-right side of the screen?
(In the Settings screen and when opening the Homescreen main menu)

1c) Why there are differences between these notifications?
One is small, clean and nice while the other is bigger and ugly.
Can you make that all the notification will be in the same style like the smaller one?

Original 3.7.X:
Same notification style always and it displayed across the entire screen.

1d) Skin -> Fonts:
Can you add the font sets from the original also for this skin (Especially Arial for Hebrew users):
Image from the original:
https://i.postimg.cc/zfndqf7t/1D1.png
https://i.postimg.cc/pTRsrt12/1D2.png

I attached here the original "Font.xml" if you need:
https://f2h.io/qy2isucg297n

Bingie has only these: default, original, gotham
(... \addons\skin.titan.bingie\xml\Font.xml)

========================

2) Homescreen:
My purpose here is getting the homescreen layout to be like my current view:
Images:
Original 3.7.X:

https://i.postimg.cc/8PDSDgZz/2B4.png
https://i.postimg.cc/ry5kvwCH/2B5.png

2a) How can I fix the homescreen main menu so that it doesn't fold everytime I move to the widget?
(btw, somethims the menu totally hides when navigate in the widget, so I need to back to the first widget item in order to get back the main menu)

2b) In addition to "2a", if there will be an option to set the main menu to be open always,
Can you move the widgets be placed next to the menu, on the right, and not beneath?

Original 3.7.X:
https://i.postimg.cc/q72W42GC/2B3.png

2c) How can I set an item from the main menu to be selected by default to view when Kodi is up?
(This option was in the original skin)

2d) Also where is the homescreen layout options as it was before (Vertical/Horizontal...)

2e) Why the music info bar doesn't show in the homescreen? (Every other place it does show it)
* Also the background is not changed according to the artist (As explained also in "2f" regarding the background problem)
Images:
Bingie:

https://i.postimg.cc/T3G1qJHt/2E-1.png

2f) The background setting:
In my current skin, the background is working like this:
As long as I don't set the background for a main memu item the background is set by the "Global Background" setting.
Also there was an option the Marcel added and now doesn't exist in the list (for unknown reason)
to change the background according to the current widget item (No matter if the widget is focused or the main menu item is focused)
It still works even if this option is not exist in the list:
Image from the original 3.7.X: (I mark it there)
https://i.postimg.cc/RhGp6xVx/2B8.png

For example:
Images:
Original 3.7.X:
https://i.postimg.cc/pd7vt96w/2B1.png
https://i.postimg.cc/Z55zBFtk/2B3.png

But the problem now is no matter what I set (Global Background or in the Shortcut settins background per item) there is no background at all, it remains black.
Only when I enable the spotlight it show up but small and not over the entire screen.
How can I solve this?
Images:
Bingie:

https://i.postimg.cc/NGNK4CnN/2B7.png

So:
1 - Why I can't see the fanarts as background?
2 - Can you return also the "Use fanart from Widget X as background"? (X relates to the widget index if there are multiple widget that set)

============================

2c) Widgets:

2c_1) When there is a main menu item without a widget, the arrow keys don't affect,
so you can't go to the main menu unless you use the mouse and move it over the main menu.

2c_2) In Marcel original skin there was an option for widget location for the Single Widget option. Where is it now?

============================

3) Media Library:

3a) Can you add an option to choose this Video Info Dialog as it was before:
Images:
Bingie:
https://i.postimg.cc/rs8YBQgf/3A2.png

Original 3.7.X:
https://i.postimg.cc/rsQYMxPM/3A3.png

* By the way, why the current dialog view is totally transparent, it looks bad with the background:
Here I choose to disable the Bingie dialog.
Image: https://i.postimg.cc/N0HVmy5k/3A1.png

3b) Regarding the "Big Panel Detail", can you change it to show 5 posters in a row? (as it was, instead of 4 in a row as it now)
Or add an option to be able to set how many items in a row for this view.

Images:
Bingie:
https://i.postimg.cc/13H14VVn/3B1.png

Original 3.7.X
https://i.postimg.cc/DzwkGf1C/3B2.png

3c) There is a problem with the view of the backgrounds:
Some of the views doesn't sho the fanart on the entire screen and show part of it,
And some of them doesn't show it at all.

https://i.postimg.cc/FH2sgLsP/3C5.png

============================

4) OSD:

4a) The "Use gradient color effect for OSD panel" isn't working. It makes it totally transparent.

Original 3.7.X:
https://i.postimg.cc/bwZgGsJY/4A3.png
https://i.postimg.cc/qMbQM8pZ/4A4.png

4b) There is an option of "Enable Extra-Large Icons". But where is the toggle button for it? How to disable?

4c) Regarding the OSD Info Panel:
4c_1) I enabled the "Show small seek panel when video is seeking/paused"
And also want to disable the big info OSD by disable it on "Show OSD Infopanel on Pause" (In the original it was called "Pause and Seek")
So why the big Info panel is still shown with the small one?

Images:
Bingie:
https://i.postimg.cc/52D38bYB/4A2.png
https://i.postimg.cc/PrVssp9d/4C1-2.png

Original 3.7.X:
https://i.postimg.cc/zG4s3mqM/4C1-3.png


4c_2) Why when the OSD infopanel is shown, it also shows the plot info block in the center of screen by default.
Image: https://i.postimg.cc/3JddbC53/4C2-2.png
In the original skin there was an option to disable it that called: "Show OSD infopanel on pause and seek" (Enable/Disable)
So I would able to show it only by pressing on the "I" button in the big OSD panel ("M" key)

You can see the setting in the image below as it was there.
There are also few more settings regarding the "Video Playback OSD"
that was there and doesn't exist here, Like Auto Close & Auto Show.
I marked them in the image:
Original 3.7.X
https://i.postimg.cc/ZqyPttGK/4C2.png

4c_3) It looks like the OSD panel looks is bigger then the original was.
Is there any was to smaller it a little?
You can see the differences in "4a" images.

============================

5) Live TV

5a) There is a bug with the option of "Show video preview in PVR section" with "Big List" view type.
It doesn't work in Bingie as in the original, there is no preview small box.
Images:
Original 3.7.X:
https://i.postimg.cc/KvQVkf6P/5A1.png
https://i.postimg.cc/26pXRKWD/5A2.png
https://i.postimg.cc/Hkhh3xsj/5A3.png

The same settings in Bingie
(But doesn't work, it plays the tv channel in full screen and not in the small box as in the original, so only by clicking on the box or background it will switch to the background view)

I'm still using the original Bingie skin but I wanted to take a look at this mod. So I downloaded the zip file from the first page and installed it on kodi..
I thought the zip file would install AchillesPunks repo but instead it updated the original Bingie skin! That's not supposed to happen right? I thought the idea was to have two repos with two individual skins, Bingie and Bingie Mod.. Am I doing something wrong? Did I get the wrong zip file?!

That's the problem I had, the Bingie skin turned into the Bingie Mod! It's so weird I don't understand how that happened.. I went to the installed repositories to look for AchillesPunks but it wasn't there.. So I opened the Bingie repository and "updated" the skin back to the original Bingie.. To double check if that had worked I went back to "interface" and Bingie Mod was now Bingie again!
