If I want to keep up to date with your changes you make daily and monthy do I just download the newest version from GITHub and overwrite my version of Silvo, or will this lose all my menus and setup I currently have made ?
Please advise
Many thanks

When any skin updates, either automatically from a repository or manually through install from zip, it deletes everything in the skin folder and extracts a new copy so...

One question, is there any way to add a physical HOME button and BACK button like in Confluence bottom right, or is there a setting I'm missing somewhere? If not how can it be added?No setting and likely will not add it. Only suggestion would be to make a MOD.
Thanks!

is it somehow possible to automatically hide the button menu and the live tv osd after pressing "ok" on the remote or "enter" on the keyboard after an inactivity of some seconds?
Seemingly this happens because of the focus on the "epg" button. In this case I have to press "back" on the remote or "backspace / esc" on the keyboard. But I don't want to press any buttons.
When I move the mouse over the kodi interface I also see the button menu and the live tv osd. But in this case both hide after ca. 8 seconds automatically. The "epg" button is not in focus in this case.

I want to do more than help test and/or translate skins. I am an IT professional with 20+ years of experience, and while I started my career programming, I have been a manager/executive for a long time. I consider myself a programmer at heart, and, while I know I am not young anymore in IT terms (I am 50), I think I can learn fast.
What would you recommend as a path to learn skinning? Which skin should I use to look at the code while learning? Do you recommend using Phil65's KodiDevKit and SublimeText 3 for a beginner? While I am no expert, I understand XML and think I am good at analyzing problems and coming up with sound technical solutions.
Thank you in advance for any guidance you could provide!
Best regards,
KodiDevKit didn't exist when I started so I used Notepad++ like most would. I couldn't even consider using anything else other then SublimeText 3 with phil65s KodiDevKit but the learning curve to get used to the differences took a week or two to get used to. SublimeText can be customized to how you want to code but setting that up can be complicated. The improved syntax highlighting and ability to quickly jump to a VAR or include are probably the most helpful and time saving additions I can think of.
As for skins I'd suggest starting with an updated one for Krypton that is also simple and easy to follow... That however would be personal preference since I do not know what would be easy to follow for somebody that is not me
Good luck and you can always PM or post in the thread if you need any help

Check your addon folder for the usual suspects like multiple folders or any personal changes you might have made. The pic I posted is from Jarvis.
edit:
downloaded git version and same issue
