RE: [ALPHA] Estuary - Kodis new default skin - illiac4 - 2016-03-03 I have tested livetv only and i must say that the confluence was better designed. One thing that bothers me that you do not see the channels logo. You have to go on channel and then you will see it. It makes visual selection much harder since there are no logos with channel names that was helpful to quickly see what channel is. Second what i did like on confluence was that you could watch channel even when not on full screen. In small screen you was able to watch channel. I do no see the point of overlying the live tv because it has no point. I hope you will implement small screen livetv option like in confluence. Also maybee usefull would be to make a default a longpress on ok button to switch fullscreen.

Would be really very nice to get the logos in the channel list back as well as non full screen playing channels.

Are you using a custom keymap?

This skin is pretty much what a modern interface should be with the important stuff being accessible from the main screen immediately. Couple of small things - just my 2 cents after a few hours using the skin: 1) Bug: Favorite TV/Radio channels don't show after a clean startup with Estuary skin. They became listed only after switching to Confluence and back 2) Improvement: The Music menu item does not go to the default music source entry when there is nothing scanned in the library. Could this be changed with a condition if library is empty? 3) Request: Please add an interactive favorites menu entry instead of the small button at the bottom of the list?

Say you're in the home screen, with "Movies" highlighted in the main navigation menu. If you keep clciking down, TV shows, Music, Add-ons, Pictures, Videos, Weather (if not disabled)... where do you go when you click down on Videos/Weather? You should enter the small cluster of icons bottom left (File Manager, Settings, Favourites, Power). Alternatively, if you click OK on "Movies" to enter the Movies library, you should have an "Options" icon in the bottom left corner of the screen that informs you which direction to push (up or left, depending on your current view - it's left for the default List view) to pop out the blade menu. Maybe some screenshots will help, highlighting the toolbars are that you are unable to access. RE: [ALPHA] Estuary - Kodis new default skin - dukester - 2016-03-03 Love it, this is good work for sure. It gives Kodi a nice "new" feeling on the first start. a few PVR hangs myself here also like it was mentioned already but i love the PVR layout myself, everything is nice and clear and easy to see and navigate, also im using a large custom keymap and have no issues at all with navigation like the user above. ** edited feature request out RE: [ALPHA] Estuary - Kodis new default skin - Raitsa - 2016-03-03 Is there a way for all of us upgradeaholics (already using Estuary from the 1st post) to update to the very latest skin version?

Not at the moment. RE: [ALPHA] Estuary - Kodis new default skin - Forage - 2016-03-03 I've been playing with the skin for a bit now. It's didn't take me long to find my way around the UI so IMHO you guys did a good job making it clear and simple as it should be. I can't say I really have a preference for the old default skin or this one, but still. A few initial comments:
