Updated!
I haven't played around with adding categories yet (believe it or not, I've gone through all these years just using the default ones). But the skin does seem noticeably faster. Navigating down the movie / TV series lists, posters and fanart appear with little to no lag. And this is on 8 year old hardware running on top of MacOS (as opposed to LibreELEC which I would imagine is even faster). The widgets on the home screen also load up faster, and look cleaner now without the counts attached.
To be honest, I thought I'd miss the wide font from before, but after a few minutes of using the updated skin, I think the new version is much better. You might be able to get rid of the reflection below the category labels -- with the counts below them, it sometimes looks a little busy. But this is only after 3-4 minutes of use.
Also, did you move "Search YouTube" into the "Extra Info" menu in the information panel? I like it much better this way, since I never use it. For me, it cleans up the row of buttons at the top quite nicely.
One last thing (I promise). Maybe I never noticed before, but now when I navigate into a TV show that has multiple seasons, the top bar will show the season number in the trail of breadcrumbs, even when I'm scrolling through "All Seasons", it will show the season of the currently highlighted episode. Very nice!
Whew. Thanks again Gade. I'll try to play with adding custom categories later tonight after I've caught up on some TV!
