I do have a couple of issues with the widgets though - apologies, I know this subject has been questioned and addressed many times, having just read through the last 27 pages, but the issue/bug I have doesn't seem to have been raised so far.

I have created smart playlists so that I can have a recently added widget limited to 25 and without watched movies/TV shows and I have also created the same widgets but just for kids movies/TV shows - I think it has been mentioned before, but it feels as if I'm very quickly going to run out of menu items if I wanted any more. Personally, I probably won't, and I know I could use ones I don't use (Extras, Concerts etc...) if I had to, but I thought it might be worth mentioning again for any future updates.

The issue I have is that I have two presets; a main one and a kids one. I've used presets for a couple of years, having previously used Samu-rai's thread to help in MQ4 & 5. When switching between these presets, the widgets state "busy" and never show, I have to select the widget again for each menu item. The problem is we change presets every day so that the Kids preset is on during the day and the main one is on in the evening. So re-selecting each widget twice a day, whilst not the end of the world, is a bit of a pain. I appreciate this may be to do with the playlist widget (or even Kodi itself) rather than the skin (didn't know if Marcos was the author of the widget as well?) but is there any fix/workaround for this?

In a similar way, when switching between presets, the weather widget also stops showing the weather icons - this was the same with MQ5 as well and a restart of Kodi is required, but it then goes again if we change presets. Not a massive issue this one, but I thought I would point it out.

With Music, the automatically included Recently Added widget/playlist includes an All Albums icon - so 1 All Albums icon and then 11 recently added. As it doesn't have a folder image it is, imo, a bit unsightly - is there a way to remove this? Unfortunately, Kodi does not seem to allow us to create a smart playlist for recently added music (can't sort by date added as you can for movies), otherwise I guess this would be a workaround.

And lastly, could someone point me in the right direction (i.e.xml file) for removing the information symbol to the left of the library information on the main menu - I like having the number of movies, unwatched etc... there, so I don't want to get rid of it altogether, but the symbol itself to me looks like an error symbol?

Many thanks again for a great skin and your ongoing support.

I posted this a few days ago, just wondered if you had any thoughts on my issues?

Many thanks

That would be the culprit .jpg -- change to .png and ensure the path is the same where you kept the genre icons.

If I misunderstood something, please let me know.
