Edit "C:\Users\(your username)\AppData\Roaming\Kodi\addons\skin.transparency\720p\Includes_Home.xml" Search for <include name="VerticalMenu"> and from that point on, change every mention of the number 58 to the number 48. Once you get to the section called <include name="HorizontalMenu"> you are finished. All the menus will now fit on the screen without scrolling.

Appreciate the effort, all is viable on screen now. had a back-up called skin.transparency.old and the system took from that, talk about confusing, I should have known better (this has been an issue in the past) all is well now. Lesson hopefully learned 'just because you've renamed it slightly doesn't mean it's out of the loop.
