UN-INTUITIVE ... I agree ... But that was the only way to make Home flexible as it was requested and from my coder point of view to be as close as possible to the common KODI view change. This sadly is the cost for adding more features. I explain : Home hasn't native viewtype in KODI and widgets are 'options' provided by scripts. Those have to be considered since default means you start like if there's nothing set and just showing submenu. For example, if you don't load Skin.Widgets, Extended Infos or just a Weather plugin and I set a widget viewtype as default, it will return empty. You or users will then think something failed. If I set a widget viewtype as default and you delete it (except the first one)… widget will disappear and you or users will think something failed.

I considered many scenarios before doing that and choose to set an 'always showing something relevant' default.

That said, this is done for what you are finally talking about : in designer, section Home, views 1 to 9 are made to build / change the layout of any Home items / widgets. Take a look at the video a few posts ago where you will see how I build one

Totally get it now... Even more impressed.

Im mostly for the forums so i never get to see the pics or videos lol.
