Hi Carl.
I'm glad that you like the update and changes.

Use the preset for Appearance (or ActivateWindow(AppearanceSettings)) and it will take you to the main settings category.

Is there a way to change main menu items to a custom action? for instance, if I click on movies, I would like it to start in the main movie view, and not whatever path I happened to drill down to the last time I was in movies. (I realize I could probably dispense with the default movies main menu item altogether and use a custom main menu item, but then I lose the cool movie icon and the widgets, right?)
To change the hardcoded categories to a custom action, you will have to deactivate them in the skin settings and add them as custom categories. You can add the same icons, background images, widgets etc etc. The only thing you will lose, are the add-on shortcuts.
But if you like the icon, I guess you don't use the add-on shortcuts

Sorry, but system submenus can not be customized. You can disable the system catsgory and add it as a custom category with your own shortcuts.
You can request any category images you need here. Or you can download the PSD and action in the first post and create them yourself.
Even easier,
you can download the category images from Github.

Rapier is fully supporting script.skin.info.service regarding movie sets. You only need to install the script and then the info will magically appear for your movie sets. Perhaps a restart of Kodi is required for the script to start up.
The movie set information window works for all movie sets - meaning that you need to have "Group movies in sets" enabled or use the movie sets library.

You bet. It is one of many things on a very long to-do list
