ahh ok I get you... shall likely stick to the internal list, as it's such a nice interface (even without the icons).

by the way I noticed that when backing back out of a submenu selection the selection passes to the next main menu rather than going back to the main menu I was viewing. (again not sure if this was intended behaviour, just found it a bit odd to navigate this way.

for example if I select main menu 'Movies' then move into sub menu 'recently added movies' exiting 'recently added' exits to my next main menu item ' TV shows' instead of back to 'Movies'

That's because Kodi returns you to the last selected position in the list, not sure there is anything I could do except always have it return to the first item.

You can test this by opening a submenu and clicking on an item. Pay attention to its position in the menu. Go back to the main menu and you will see that the selected main menu item is in the same position as the submenu item you previously selected.

FYI, I just pushed a couple of fixes for the vertical menu. The option to show weather in the menu will now be enabled even if the centered menu option is turned on. And the weather in the menu will now have the same animations on window open/close as the menu does.
