A modern reimagination of Confluence – the beloved long-time default user interface of Kodi (formerly XBMC).
Features include a complete graphical overhaul, an icon-based main menu without the need for scrolling and all new wall views.
The useful lightweight features among countless carefully crafted usability optimizations make you enjoy an intuitive user experience you would expect from a retail media player with a good UI.

Remarks
This skin works on Kodi versions 17 (Krypton) | 18 (Leia) | 19 (Matrix) | 20 (Nexus) | 21 (Omega) | 22 (Pegasus)
- You get the same experience on all Kodi versions (Full feature parity)
- 4 separate release variants exist for Kodi 17, 18, 19-20 and 21-22 which are automatically offered via the repo so you always have the correct release for your Kodi system
- The recommended Kodi Language (Settings > System > Interface > Regional > Language) to use with this skin is English (US). It has the shortest, most balanced and most valid translation texts which result in the best user experience similar to modern retail devices with professional translations.
