Thanks for the centered layout, much appreciated. Please keep it.
More importantly, can you please also add a '3 items' option too? To avoid cropped menu items like this:
And maybe the old-style top-aligned header bar too (instead of the widget).
I know it is a matter of personal preference, but the 2.x home layout is simply perfect! It cannot be improved upon.
I rather live with the cropped text than smaller font...

Here is a log of the failed Artist slideshow. http://paste.ubuntu.com/15151795/
RE: Mimic 3.x for Jarvis - vgabor - 2016-02-21
I have the feeling that I actually have the Artist Slideshow but it is not visible. I think this because I have another invisible screen around that area. Cannot be seen but has keyboard focus. In other skins, it is visible too.
The other invisible screen is a bug (not Mimic bug) and goes like this:
(Play song -> Home screen) -> Back -> CRC lyrics loads the overlay -> ActivateWindow(Home) command mapped to my remote => Now I see Home screen + lyrics overlay mixed. (Except in Mimic.)
Ps. with the ActivateWindow(Home) command I can get the Home screen mixed with other windows too. With other skins too.

And I've remembered another piece of essential info that I found missing since your updates... Video/clip duration does not seem to appear in any view type, when it is usually included in even the basic 'List' view. I don't see duration in Movies/TV Shows library views, in YouTube contents views or search results, in other video plugin content views, etc.
If I switch back to Confluence or even Aeon Nox (for testing purposes, mind - Mimic is by far the superior, elegant, efficient, modern, minimal skin) the duration appears so I'm guessing it's some basic attribute that's gone missing?...

Darn it, that's too bad...
InfoWall and Showcase views aren't available for things like YouTube and other plugins, nor at Episode level (the logical, relevant level for duration info) in TV Shows - and I seriously have no interest in seeing ratings anywhere for anything. Actually, I don't see rating info in many of the views currently, for Movies, Episodes... I use InfoWall for some Movie views, but also a lot of List and Shift elsewhere.
Wouldn't care to point me to the relevant code/xml to swap out ratings for duration, or is it not that simple?

RE: Mimic 3.x for Jarvis - sillit - 2016-02-21
where can i find the "power" menu (change profile, shutdown, reboot, exit ...) in the new Jarvis version? I updated my kodi installation from 15.2 to 16 today, but after the update i can't find the power menu anywhere. Even after a complete clean install the menu button is not there
Thanks in advance for any suggestions

Hi Braz, can you tell me which skin file to edit to remove the new topbar. I used to edit the Includes.xml file and add !Control.IsVisible(XXX) to the Topbar include to hide if for various view types but this doesn't seem to work in the latest skin update.
Great skin BTW.

And just like that inspiration strikes and commenting out the whole "Topbar" include in includes.xml has removed it.

Also I tried to add a menu item but it seems I can only add the seperate commands (Reboot, Shutdown etc...). I cannot find the command to show the popup menu.

Running Kodi 16.0 and latest 3.0 build of mimic. When selecting either single or multi-image background the dialog box that pops up only shows my repos and no way to get to local files on my system. Anyone else have this problem?

Change Action > Custom Action (last item in the list) and type ActivateWindow(ShutdownMenu)

Add the location you want to get images from as a source in the file manager (wiki)

Thanks I will try that but things are just strange. First there is the problem I mentioned above, at least it wasn't in 2.3.0. Dig a bit deeper into other options I find the Backgrounds option which has "Setup section backgrounds", tried this and it actually gave me a proper dialog box where I could navigate to the proper folder and select an image. Unfortunately doing this does not set the background image for that section.
The other strange thing, is mouse movement. When the mouse is placed over the main menu bar it automatically brings up the submenu for where ever section is highlighted. Making it impossible to select an item from the main menu with a mouse. Is that some new feature?
