I've tried the top 5 before... I like it and have it running on 2setups in the house but would prefer to see 5 at the bottom as I feel it's unnatural to press up to move down to the widgets. just my opinion 😀
have tested the bottom 5... works great, I like it.
what's the plan though... are you able to add an option to have 3or5? would hate to loose the 3 larger menus (current default)
on another note... thanks for the shift view plot addition, love it !
would you also please consider adding a rating to this view? would be perfic 4me then! ie. no need to transcend into 'info' I could direct play from the shift view.
as always thank!

Just a little comment to inform you that i noticed the same problem than wickemu and Arogantis when i updated your skin from the official repo : the new animation for the main menu (with 3 buttons) made it a little bit sluggish (yet my HTPC runs on a core i7) :-(
I just downloaded your last update on github and i can confirm you that everything works smoothly now, with the 5-items config AND also with the old 3-items config (by the way, the option you made to choose between these 2 configurations is great) !
Also love the "plot" option for the shift view : mimic goes better and better week after week ! You rock !

I sped up the animations for the 3-item menu, hopefully that takes care of it. Let me know if you notice any other performance issues.

Hi braz, I know you have already spoken to Sn00p about Youtube/Trailer button.
But to be honest Youtube button doesn't really seem to work correctly.
For some movies it doesn't find anything on Youtube while Trailer function does.
I'm not sure how this is possible.
Do you have any idea what's going on?

I added a context menu item for movies that will play the trailer. Plan to leave the YouTube button on the video info dialog with the Trailer button as a fallback if Extendedinfo isn't installed. Changes are available on github and will be in the next official release.

Very weird... On a fresh install I had to add the Official Kodi repo myself, and I tried to add this skin but then got "dependencies not met" error...
Anyone know what might be problem?

It should automatically install the dependencies when installing from the repo.

Can you point me in the direction of an older version of the file or what would need doing to go back to the older version of now playing info screen for tv programmes?
Mimic recently updated and now the screen shows the info on the TV show in a scrolling manner on one line rather than two or three static lines as next aired is at the bottom rather than top right. I appreciate some people prefer this but personally I must read fast or something because it's like waiting for paint to dry to read the full description and really annoying. I actually find myself going into EPG instead, finding the show and reading description there as doing that is quicker than waiting for the info to scroll.
Don't get me wrong, the skin is the best you can get and I appreciate this is just a personal preference so happy to have a go at hacking it around a bit just for me if you can point where to get started.

You can compare them to the ones from earlier releases to see what has changed.
