1) Is it possible to remove the big "Frontview+" splash on startup? I'm trying to keep my main screen as black as possible
2) Can I make the progress bar of the current view time bigger? I like to see how long there is left to view but cant make out the numbers
3) Would it be possible to hook this up to Steam for when I'm playing games?
4) Also, when I am not running Kodi, it shows a screen with kodi as a large button and then video/resolution/reboot on the bottom right. How can I make this go back to the normal home screen?
Thanks again!

Hey - Thanks for the feedback.
1. Its only there for a few seconds on startup? Still must be pretty blank! Possible to add setting, but time probably best spent elsewhere - unless a flurry of similar blank-seeking individuals!
2. Time Bigger or Bar Bigger? Time does have a setting - its the TextSize in Settings/Display Tab under NowPlaying Screen: Cover size, Text Size, Logo Size.
3. Steam - difficult and probably comes back to time issue. Also would have likely have to be separate remote connection; which would mean would have to manually connect to it from kodi/emby etc.
(any similar steam software - which I might have a look at?)
4. It defaults to this screen when no remote connection - as you need to set one up/connect one.
It may be that MinimiseAlways setting is the best option for you or fanart for that matter.
MinimiseAlways - true - essentially only shows the NowPlaying screens - when NowPlaying finishes it minimises FrontView to taskbar.
The usage for others (who were steam-players as well) is that you can then have something else under/on same screen potentially steam related. (Showing Temp/CPU whatever you like running) And then when running Kodi - on starting playback - the NowPlaying screen appears Thoughts?

Thanks for the replies.
1) Yes it is only a few seconds but I've disabled windows logo, spinning circles, login screen etc. I guess I could take a look at the source and see if I could add in the option easily. What language is this being developed in?
2) I want the time bigger. I'll have a look at the text size and see if that helps, thanks :-)
3) I figured that might be a problem. I'm not sure of any other software off-hand but I can tell what all my friends are playing etc. so it could be achieved using the friends API if it's publicly available...
4) That MinimiseAlways sounds like it could work actually, That could also allow me to have my cpu/gpu temp displays on that monitor :-)
