Hi, talking about movies (posters) and music (album cover):
The 2x7 Wall View of Confluence Zeitgeist has in fact larger poster+album artwork than Original Confluence 2x5 Wall View.
Maybe you were mislead because you personally like a Wall View with fewer items (2x5=10) and more space between the artwork(?) As said, the artwork itself is in fact smaller in the old 2x5 view.
I made the unified Wall Views like they are on purpose because they fit the visual and usability intentions of this skin.
2x7 is the "direct" replacement for the old 2x5 (visually + technically speaking).
TBH it's unlikely at this point that i can add _another_ 2x5 Wall View option and because of all the extra time needed + unnecessary maintenance work it would bring for the future.
If it would be a quick 1-line code change, i'd have been willing to add an experimental option only for you to replace 2x7 with old school 2x5, but unfortunately that's not feasible in regards to the existing code.
Another idea/possible solution - maybe that's something for you - if you feel that a 2x7 Wall is a bit too "crowded" for your liking - and you like a more "spacey" 2x5=10 items view more:
In the main skin version (KODI 17) there is a new modern Artwork View with only+exactly 10 movie posters visible at once.
(! The View will be ported to the KODI 18+ skin versions at a later time):
