Hi, @
mardukL
(CC: @"marcelveldt" )
First I want to mention that I'm a big fan of this original skin, and I'm using for years since the great work of Marcel (And helped wite a lot of QA threads and comments)
The main reason I want to move to this mod is that the original is only support Kodi v17 and I want to move forward to v18.
I understand that after the installation I should set everything from scratch.
My purpose is the keep the original look as much as I can to what I have now.
So I installed this mod.
First it looks as I like, like the original, well done MardukL!
But I still have some problems and differences with some parts in order to get the original look of Titan as I have now.
I tried to explain it as welll as I can.
So Thanks again.
Regarding version of 19/12/2019 - Titan M O D 18.1.17
==============================
1) General:
1a) [Solved] The icons in the Settings window are getting dark when they are focused.
Images:

https://i.postimg.cc/3wpfBMLG/1A2.png
Solution: The color settings called: Cutsom Color Setting -> Media Library Views -> Media Listitem text color (focused)
1b) [New Question/Request] Homescreen mainmenu items color:
How can I set a color for homemenu item when it unfocused but marked? (Or it's impossible?)
Currently there is only this option: Home mainmenu/submenu unfocused text color
But this option is relating to all the other menu items and not to the activated item when it unfocused.
(Not so critical, but nice to have)

1c) [New Request] Color Theme Creation:
Can you add an option to save and override a color theme?
Currently you can only make a new one by "Create..."
==============================
2) Widgets:
2a) The background setting:
[Request]
There was an option that Marcel added in his previous version that for unknown reason doesn't exist anymore in the background options list,
but it's still working in my original skin somehow (so I'm not touching it for now)
The option is to change the background according to the widget item (No matter if the widget is focused or not and the main menu item is focused)
This option was called: "Use fanart from Widget X as background"
(X relates to the widget index if there are multiple widget that set)
As I said, it still works even if this option is not exist in the list:
(But if I open the list , this option doesn't exist there anymore)
Image from the original 3.7.X: (I mark it there)
https://i.postimg.cc/1zxyWQKc/2A1.png (The shortcut setting - background)
[Request] Can you try to add this option back to the list?
The Homescreen For example:

https://i.postimg.cc/mDjR2FW8/2A3.png (Focused: the widget)
https://i.postimg.cc/bvQpWBCX/2A4.png
2b_1) [Bug] Regarding the option for widget position for the Single Widget option: "Lower the widget".
It seems that when it's Single Box layout (maybe with the others too), the widget is getting out of the screen a little at the bottom.
EDIT: With the option of "Titan Default Vertical Homescreen Layout" disabled it's better,
but I do want it with this option enabled (I don't like the menu when it disabled)

2b_2) [Bug] There is a problem with the "Auto-align widgets to the right".
It seems that when it's Single Box layout (maybe with the others too), the widget is getting out of the screen to the right.
EDIT: Here the disable/enable the this option of "Titan Default Vertical Homescreen Layout" doesn't fix the problem.
Any way I want this option to be enabled as I said.

2c) [Solved] The widget content is hidden when it focused (Checked on Single Box layout)
Maybe it's a color settings thing, I don't know. How can I fix this?
Solution: The color setting is => Homemenu -> Widgets Detail Panels and Tiles - Background Color
[New open issue]
How can I set the Widget background and the transperent level when the widget is unfocused?
(Becuase the above setting relates only when Widget is focused)

==============================
3) Media Library
3a) Big Panel Details view:
There some diffrences between the original and here:
3a_1) [Request] Can you set the posters to be 5 poster each row? (Or add an option to set how many for each row)
3a_2) [Bug/Request] The info panel:
- It seems it placed a little bit lower then usual.
- How can I set a color and the transparent level for the info panel?
3a_3) [Solved] Scroll bar: Can you add an option to set the regular style in addition to the new one of letters?
Solution: Disable this setting -> Enable Quick-Jump alphabet navigation strip
* [Bug/Request][New] Can you make the scrollbar there to be wider? (As it was)
3a_4) [Bug/Question] Why there is no clearart logo (I set it to be on the top and there is nothing)
3a_5) [Question] How can I remove the "Play" icon on focused item?
Images: (I marked with arrows the differences)

3b) The Video Info dialog:
[Request] Please add aditional option for the original video info dialog style? (The design, the poster, clearart on top, etc...)
I tried all the options, the most close I get is using the WIP style.
(Tell me if you need any of file from the original skin I will upload it)
* [Solved] By the way, also here, how can I set the color and the transparent level for this dialog panel
Solution: Media Library views -> Media LIST PANEL (No Focus) + DETAIL PANELS BG

==============================
4) OSD:
4a) Video OSD
4a_1) [Request] Can you add an option to change the style as it was like the original OSD style?
* Set the "Now Playing" and the Title as it was.
*
Request/Suggestion regarding the info panel/line when enabled:
It actually more nice as it now with inner info line instead the big info panel that was at the top.
But can you change it so the info line will be above the OSD instead of how it's now so it actually pushes up the "Now Playing + Title" out of the OSD.
* Change the OSD shape/area to be lower/smaller, like as it was.
* Change the artwork to be a little smaller
* By the way if the title is long, there is overlay with the "Finish at" text (You can see it in the "Pause State" image)

==============================
5) Live TV
5a) [Bug] There is a bug with the option of "Show video preview in PVR section" with "Big List" view type.
It doesn't work in Titan MOD as in the original, there is no preview small box.
Images for reference:
Original 3.7.X:

https://i.postimg.cc/h4V48m0Z/5A3.png
The same settings in Titan MOD
But it doesn't work, it plays the tv channel in full screen and not in the small box as in the original - so it should only switch to the background view by clicking on the box or background)
