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.

Excellent job! Looks very nice and works very well!
Now playing bottom bar is missing in music/files. Please add also currently on screen album total time to somewhere.
But of course - take Your time!

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.

This music/library album list view. I have Your latest git installed in two computers and in both album view looks like this.
Yes, I agree, horizontal and vertical scrolling in same time is not a good idea. Adding genre to new line adds little bit more space to genre.
Maybe You add scrolling only when genre have focus?

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 screenshot is music/library album list view. You already removed star ratings from album view, I'm talking about empty space between album name and album year, as You can see from screenshot. Stars are gone, but space for stars is still there. Doesn't look good and removing this unneeded empty area will add more width for album name.

Talking about music/library tracklist view, there I can see only two different views: list and song. Adding one more view doesn't hurt anybody, but makes some people happy (including me).

Furthermore - Your vision is create simple and clean looking skin and in most cases You are very successful. Adding list without star ratings view to music/library tracklist, makes You even more successful and adds even more cleaner look option to skin. Or if You don't want to add a new view, please add option to remove stars (with space these are using).

Making a mod only to make things simpler and cleaner doesn't make sense. I don't know personally anybody, who likes and using star ratings and make option to them is cherry on the pie.

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

Thanks!

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

That's not very important, although is very good to see current time, when music is playing in fullscreen view.

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

I can't see any difference right now. In music/files albumlist view I can't still see any covers and no any audio codec flags in music/files tracklist view.

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

Clear, I didn't know that.

PS. I have to say one more time - now playing bar is excellent!
