@Alanon thank you for replying! I've tried navigating every menu I can find and I still have no way to find that quick nav! I am using a remote by the way. Also, please know this isn't a big deal, I was just curious is all! But from the home screen I pulled up the Submenu (pressing down on a home menu item, unless I'm wrong about the submenu in general) which pulls up a submenu and if I try to go up from here, it just closes the submenu. If I'm anywhere else in the skin (ie file list, tv shows, movies, etc) and I open my context menu, I can't figure out how to get anything else to pop up. I do have extra buttons that's not being used on my remote and I'd happily map one of those to the quick nav.. I went and looked, but I'm not exactly sure what to map it to exactly. But again, this is no big deal, please don't waste any time on me playing around out of boredom lol
I did manage to figure out how to disable the default fallback widget, and I pretty much immediately hated it and then I realized how it was kind of impossible to get back to what it was, and I regret everything I've asked you but thank you for explaining it!
I do completely understand the widget format, it makes sense actually now that you said it! I can deal with the posters, it's honestly no big deal at all!
I do have one more question though, I started to notice some weird behavior as I went deeper into the skin. For example, I had set the movie views to "List 1" and the tv show views to "List 2" because I liked how they alternated the poster on both sides. But I noticed if I went back to the home menu and then opened the tv shows again after about 5 seconds it would change the view to "Banners" every single time. I can easily change it back, but I didn't know why it did that or how to stop it. Then I tried to "reload skin" from the power menu, and when it tried to load, it actually caused Kodi to reload (not restart the machine, just it was as if I stopped the kodi service and started it again) and when I loaded back, I had an entirely different home menu! It had "In Theaters" movies as the fallback widget, and it had all these home menu items that pointed to **an addon that shall not be named** for movies, tv shows, and a trakt list. It was honestly as if it loaded in someone else's settings.xml file, which is what made me think of the settings.xml file in general, so I'm wondering if I deleted the settings.xml file would it create a new one with my settings as "default" and I wouldn't have to worry about that stuff again, or is there something else going on?
Thanks again for all your help though, you are an amazing skin creator and you should be incredibly proud of your coding skills! I'm a website designer and I am still unable to code anything in XML, but I am able to "read" it kinda ok lol
