@mystic84, for your last one, press up arrow until you get the left hand menu, then select viewtype settings which should be at the bottom. Next you need to select BD/DVD cases and that will open another window. If you want the same cases as your image then select clear cases, next on the right activate show cdart and showcase mod, now other options should appear, you now want to activate All of them i.e. No case for movieset, Open set as Boxcase and Opencase. Your view should now be as you want.
Fundamentally I believe telling others to delete guisettings.xml, textures13.db, and the thumbnail folder are almost the equivalent to reinstalling Kodi (might as well say that instead) If you think that is the way things should work then no amount of information I can offer will change your mind. If you call anywhere for tech support the first thing they always say is restart, that should be first in your 101. guisettings.xml is just a list of your selected settings saved in text form (Skin.HasSetting(BlahBlahBlah) is true or active or whatever the setting is) and all reference the skin whose ID is in front of those settings... If you think that affects things it can not, I do not know what to tell you. If you also think deleting the cached fanart and posters from the textures13.db file will help solve skin related graphical anomalies, I again do not know what to tell you. I recommend to all that the previous steps mentioned should be considered a nuclear option and using tools like the texturecache maintenance utility be used to correct library artwork issues instead of touching textures13.db or the thumbnails folder. If you want to try to delete the guisettings.xml to solve a skin issue just try rebooting your system and/or Kodi first since the only way that should matter is if the skin maintainer changes the meaning of the stored setting like maybe reversing the isempty logic or a new install of Kodi where some old setting could cause an issue and even that may not require a clean guisettings.
