It's a good start, thank You!

In my opinion in this place is not enough space for "now playing" info. Even not very long names are scrolling. Furthermore now even less info in screen. I hope You don't mind, but I think bottom bar will be much better option. I made little visual concept:



In library/files in top bar there will be always weather/date/clock (if enabled), in bottom bar left will be "now playing" info (if music playing) and right showing currently displaying album total duration, items count and page count. Pretty nice and more functional, isn't?

Looks nice, but unfortunately there isn't enough room at the bottom of other views. It looks like I could move the view content up a bit to accommodate a bottom bar (with the exception of Fanart view), but then there is the matter of horizontal scrollbars. A bottom bar would obscure the scrollbar, which in my opinion is more important than now playing info. Will keep thinking about this, no promises though.

Update: Just tried implementing this and it works pretty well, hiding it when the scrollbars have focus. I kinda like it, stay tuned. Need to reposition the content of most views and figure out how to handle Fanart view.

Few more thoughts and bugs:

Can You make scrolling or line break to album genre? If album have set more than one genres (I have many albums with 2-3 genres):

What view is this? On my list view for albums I don't see the year and genre on the same line. I don't think I will add scrolling to the genre label. It is confusing to the eye to have the genre label scrolling horizontally at the same time the description is scrolling vertically. This reminds me, I need to fix this issue on the Panel view.

You turned off album rating stars, but there is still empty space for stars:


I know, You're using track star ratings in list view, and You probably won't remove rating stars from tracklist, but I'm very interested more space for track names. I have in library very much music with long tracknames with long remix names. Maybe You will create two separated list view options - list and list with ratings? That will be good solution for everyone.

This sounds like a good idea for a mod. I'm not interested in another list view and feel there are already enough options.

In music fullscreen view with APE files format flag is missing:
With FLAC and MP3 files everything is fine, I haven't tested with other audio formats.

Will look for an ape flag png. Update: Found one, added to git.

Can You add current time to music fullscreen view? There is very good place for that:

Will think about it. While there is room, the current time doesn't feel like it belongs there to me.

In music files (not library) in albums list no covers displayed, even if folder.jpg inside of folder. When tracklist opened, cover is displayed.

Can You put audio format flag also to music files, when folder with tracklist is opened (like in library view)?

I have never tested file views, will look into this. Update: Added music thumbs and audio codec flags to file view for music.

At last - this is not a big issue, but when I activate for testing some other skin and switch back to Mimic, I have to every time set font and color theme again. Skin won't save these settings.

When you switch skins they will always revert to the default theme/font etc. This is Kodi behavior and not skin dependent.

Keep up very good work and Mimic will be even more better and better skin!

Thanks!
