Wow I am having a great time playing with this skin! Woo!

I have a question about setting home menu backgrounds. So when I set each home screen window to the same multi-image background folder, it doesn't preserve the wallpaper from the previous menu but instead, switches the background as if I had selected a different image. This is not the behavior you see with most skins when you select the same source for wallpaper between menu items, and isn't the behavior of Kover when, for example, you select fanart as the background source. Is there any way to fix this problem? Additionally, would it be possible to include a global fanart option?

Thanks, glad you enjoy KOver

This background issue is something I already figured out. That's because KOver handles viewtypes for Home. It's been coded in KOver's own skinning engine and is not KODI feature. So that's why you won't see this happening in other skins so soon.For explaination, each main menu item displays a viewtype and scrolling the menu switches from one to another like if you switched Poster view to Fanart for ex. in Library. That said, it explains that the Rotating Background is reseted at each icon focus because it's a "new window".
I have some doubt about being able to compare the value to make them to stick with the previous one but can give it a try. What do you mean by "global fanart option" ?

Played with vertical home menu and really like it but didnt expect the video OSD to also orientate vertically as well.

Is it possible to maintain a horizontal position with vertical home menu?

Yes, It's something I planned to rewrite. I did that because it followed the KOver's own skinning engine rules but I'm not sure many people are using the vertical option if the menu isn't set to large. Even if they did, also not sure switching the OSD makes sense. Honestly, I don't like it and would prefer to stick to a standard bottom horizontal control bar (also allowing more design options since I'm no more locked by the rules).

What you guys think ?
