hi, this is by far my most favorite skin! I have 1 or 2 things that would improve it for me. Is it possible to have an option to globally change the default view? I know you can change it for each screen but what I m doing now is changing it every time it updates from default view 52, SIO2 view to 50, Big List, which I prefer, vi the skin.sio2x/1080i/MyVidNav file (if i remember correctly).
I would also prefer to have the side screen which will give you additionl optiuons (like search and vies etc, esp Fullscreen when a vid is buffering) to be on the left side, instead of the right, mainly due to the fact that I use a mouse to access my Kodi/XBMC and I often times get the side screen popping out like crazy when I am trying to scroll down.
Other than that, this is awesome, I much prefer it over the original SIO2

Hi, thanks for your words, I'm glad You like the skin.

There probably won't be any update for this in gotham.. so you can safely edit MyVideoNav.xml by setting

<defaultcontrol always="true">50</defaultcontrol>

and delete
../userdata/Database/ViewModes6.db

and everything in
..userdata/guisettings.xml

from
<viewstates>
to
</viewstates>

do this while xbmc/kodi is not running.

start it, and everything should be reset to default.

I don't know exactly why, but the same code gives different results in gotham vs Helix.
Since at some point I dropped some of the helix code into gotham.. the default view changed from biglist to sio2...

I just tried deleting viewdatabase and guisettings in both install and starting it back... gotham shows sio2 - helix shows biglist.. :roll eyes:

as far as moving the slide, that might happen since it makes sense having left on left, but not in Gotham for sure. I don't really want to go over this code more unless there's real bad bugs, with Helix right about to happen.

..as a personal suggestion.. I believe using a mouse really prevents from enjoying the full power of skins or xbmc/kodi in general. I understand it's a matter of taste (and I personally used a mouse for a long time, despite people advicing the use of remotes/keyboards. now i'll definitely won't go back to mouse ) but give it a try.. might change your experience.

cheers!
