Install fresh will not do much as your settings are kept. Unless you're missing files or manually messed with skin files, there is generally no need to install fresh. If you really want that, you must first switch to another skin, after that you can uninstall from the addons section.
Better is to just reset all setings to defaults, that will refresh the entire skin.
Skin settings --> Backup and restore --> Reset to default settings
Hi marcelveldt.
Thanks for the replies.
I think we do have crossed wires over fixed focus!
I think i mean fixed list as in Showcase view with Aeon Nox skin (Silvo).
With this skin, fixed list stops the wraparound of posters, so my last movie does not show in front of first movie.
(Probably not explaining it well, can't take screenshot at mo [emoji20])
I'd like this type of behaviour...No wraparound...Is this possible?
I've sorted all the other problems, thanks.

Here's Fixed Focus in Showcase view with Aeon Nox Silvo:
There is no wraparound.
You have this Fixed List view for Netflix style:
Is this possible with showcase view?
Many thanks.

Just wanted to add: a full removal short of manual deleting of the addon and userdata items for the skin is as marcel suggested - reset skin but you can also uninstall the addon from the addon settings menu once you have switched to another skin. You cannot uninstall an active skin. Then download and reinstall the addon once again from the repo if you think that the skin itself may be corrupted - I've had it happen when an addon update was in process and Kodi crashed.
Krypton changes the addon update behavior so that should not happen anymore. now Kodi will move an active skin to a temp dir and if necessary forcibly close the texture files once the update is downloaded unzipped and ready to be installed and swapped in by triggering a reload of the new skin.
Regarding fixed focus and fixed list.
This may help you communicate your desires and definitions of fixed/focus layout and control elements of the view / list
"The fixed list container is one of several containers used to display items from file lists in various ways. The fixed list container is the same as the List Container, with one exception: the focused item is fixed. Thus, moving up or down scrolls the items, not the focused position. As with all container controls, the layout of the items within the control is very flexible."

Replicating every view from Skin X, Y & Z is not as easy as you think.
I know that link is terribly technical - sorry.
But if you look at it and even partially understand it and then consider the layouts using the various control options etc you may see a view that no one has thought of yet.
I work with programmers, IT & technical folks all the time but have had some of the most inspirational and OMG moments come from a non technical person who I've asked to sit in on a project and just observe and comment - it's amazing to watch a non tech person have that light bulb moment and just blow away everyone in the room.
Hope this helps :-)

Specially in addition to the list and fixed list are the panel containers and as you mention the wrap lists.
Views / lists / containers - on my! Lol
Again - sorry very boring and technical I know - just throwing it out there... you never know you could be the next Kodi skin dev and not yet know it - hehe
