Observation: Every time there is some update, I lose my custom backgrounds. I have to re-copy them from my local hard drive back to Kodi\addons\skin.estuary.modv2\extras\home-images.

Is there a way to avoid this?

During an update, this is normal behaviour - all files are deleted and replaced by the new files.
This applies to the path "Kodi\addons\(*****)\".
If you want to keep your pictures after an update, "\userdata\addon_data\(*****)\" is the best place for them.

Not sure what (*****)\ is?

There is a bunch of folders in that addon-data including skin.estuary.modv2

It is the file path to the addon or skin in your case it would be:
"Kodi\addons\skin.estuary.modv2\extras\home-images"
or then
"Kodi\userdata\addon_data\skin.estuary.modv2\extras\home-images".

That is where I have been keeping them. But with every update, they are getting deleted.

Normal behaviour. If you want to persist your own images, just set them via skin settings.

• power, settings, search menu: Start Screen
  
• main menu backgrounds: Customize main menu, backgrounds
  
• general background: Artworks, disable "show media fanart as background" and choose a background replacement
  
• splash screen: Extras, enable background for splash screen, choose background
  

Don't copy any files within the addon folder(s). They will be overwritten if a update occurs. This applies to all addons btw.

As I said, don't move/copy files inside the addon folders. They will be overwritten on an update! Choose single image instead and use images outside of your Kodi installation!

The Light Blub just came on! Thank you for your patience.

Option "Hide notifications while Playback" removed

See post #702 - #705 in this thread. There are some more posts here regarding alleged lack of notifications (subtitle/audio/language changes, phone callmonitor, ...). In all cases this activated option was the reason. In summary let an addon decide if a notification has to occured, not the skin.

i don't think removing it is the answer, notifications while watching a movie is not acceptable, i think the logic for the notification to show or not needs tweaking.

if it works properly in the standard estuary skin, then why not apply that logic and tweak it for your mods?

The stock Estuary skin doesn't have this option disabling notifications while playback. The behaviour now is exactly the same as default Estuary does.
