Any change you could make a fix for the annoying pop-up you see every time you use a mouse?

It's not perfect, but here's a quick fix. Edit Includes_Animations.xml and look for the lines:

<inlclude name="Animation_NavMenu">
blah....
</include>

and change it to be:

Code:

<inlclude name="Animation_NavMenu">
<animation effect="slide" start="-10,0" end="690,0" time="0" tween="quadratic" easing="out" condition="ControlGroup(7000).HasFocus">Conditional</animation>
        <animation type="Conditional" condition="!ControlGroup(7000).HasFocus()">
            <effect type="zoom" start="100" end="100" center="auto" tween="back" easing="in" time="400" />
            <effect type="fade" start="100" end="0" time="400" />
        </animation>
        <animation effect="slide" start="10,0" end="-690,0" time="0" tween="quadratic" easing="out" condition="ControlGroup(7000).HasFocus">WindowClose</animation>
</include>

I'll get a cleaner implementation done later...

Hi Stoli, thanks for the temporary work around for mouse users. I tried editing the Includes_Animations.xml file located in my AppData folder, eg: (C:\Users\Dennis\AppData\Roaming\XBMC\addons\skin.metropolis\720p) with XBMC closed and then restarted XBMC but the menu is still popping up in the centre of the screen when you mouse over.

I've found this skin to be the most practical to use with my setup - it has PVR support & the Cinema Experience button available plus plenty of other neat bits of information displayed. But I too am another mouse user, sorry to bug you guys with this one.
