I recently upgraded from XBMC 13.2 to Kodi 16.1. I'm neither a fan of upgrades, nor a fan of having the latest versions of things. I'm a fan of working stuff. If it's working, I will never upgrade it. But this time I had to, since I found content encoded in x265 that XBMC didn't support.
In XBMC I used to use CCM. It's the only skin that really works for me. I was pretty sad it didn't work well on 16.1 but I found this one and I became excited about it.
Unfortunately, they are not identical.
First of all the skin didn't include Roboto-Bold-Caps.ttf. I mean no offense but that's blasphemy!! I just couldn't stand the Menu Items in lowercase. It just looks horrible. But that's a minor thing. I copied the font from CCM and modified Font.xml to use it for the Menu Items. No problem.
But what worried me a lot is that you can't disable the OSD on Pause while having a full OSD when you press the OK button on your remote. In CCM, there was an option like "Disable OSD on Pause". In Xonfluence, there's no option like that. There's something similar like "Enable video codec info on pause and..." but if you disable that, you lose video codec info on the OSD when it pops up from any other way different than pause.
To me, the perfect pause is a frozen screen with absolutely no other info in it. The perfect pause does not exist. A very good pause is a frozen screen with minimal info (like a tiny "Pause" string in the bottom right corner of the screen). Pause is to see something you couldn't see while the video was rolling. For all other uses, Stop/Play is enough. So basically if you hit pause and a big OSD comes up and a clock and weather info, that's a useless pause.
Anyway, I could modify VideoFullScreen.xml so I can only see the (very full) OSD only when I press the OK button on my remote. If I pause, fast forward, rewind, or whatever, nothing is shown except that little tiny bar that's excellent in the bottom right corner.
So now I have a Xonfluence that is identical to my CCM and I thank the developer for that. That's all I wanted to say. Kudos to you, Helly.

Apologies if this has been answered in this forum or another.
Is there a way to make the OSD Auto Hide if it is triggered with a remote click?

Thanks for maintaining this addon Helly,
a small question that is probably user error on my behalf!. when I pause a movie, is it possible to have a logo or clear art come up on the pause screen (along side the plot). The skin used to do this, but I've obviosuly clicked on something and I don't know what! This happens on TV shows OK.
Can anyone point me in the right direction please?
Thanks

Thanks for this light and very customable skin!
I would like to be able to modify some info in the "media view 3" for movies (for example) :
I would like to :
- delete "writer" and put the actors instead
- make the "info" window bigger to be able to read longer plot without auto scrolling
I thought I could find this in ViewsVideoLibrary.xml but did not find everything (I found "writer" but did not work when changed to "casts")
And I did not find something related to "media view 3" or even another media view...
Some help would be very appreciated!
Thanks!

I just installed Xonfluence Skin and I love it, but there are a few things I need help on:
1. When I click yes on the updates, I lose my custom settings after the update. The Sections I have removed come back and I lose the Sections that I have created. Is there a way to turn off Updates so I don't a see a screen asking me to update when there is an update available.
2. When I back up Xonfluence Build and install on different device, I lose the second profile. The Master profile works fine and all my changes work. When I click on the Change Profile button only Master User option is there.
Thanks is in advance and keep up the great work.
