Hi I experience the same issues as HDMax with the mouse, most of the skin is working properly with the mouse but these annoying popup.

I know nothing about XBMC theme internals, but I can edit source files. Is there a way to disable this popup or to disable the mouse trigger for this popup ?

Most skins have this menu hidden off-screen to the left hand side and pops out with a slide animation when the mouse hovers in that region. But Metropolis has the menu hidden in the middle of the screen and therefore pops up when the mouse is in that region or is triggered by a keyboard command. I think one way would be to move the menu off screen and have a slide animation to a position on-screen like other skins when triggered. That would be from a skinning perspective and would mean editing all the xml files where the view menu exists, which is quite a few and would take some work. As for editing the source files, I'm not sure, I think you would have a better idea than me.

Edit: One thing you could try to disable the mouse trigger is adding <visible>!Skin.HasSetting(ViewLockdown)</visible> to the Navigation Menus in question and then Enable Kiosk Mode in general skin settings. This would disable the whole Navigation Menu for mouse and keyboard until Kiosk Mode is disabled again. Just a thought.

@SteveB thanks I'll take a deeper look, I already foound the XML files on a previous theme "safari". I'll try to take a deeper look.

On the way to do that, moving the popup to some postion, maybe the top, as in Rapier, would be indeed the best idea, though I have no idea how to do that atm.
