How hard is it make skins use there views in AEL?
Anyone have an idea

Like @Wintermute0110 said, making a skin from scratch is a huge effort. I went the route of adding views to another skin by using Estuary AEL as an example. Specifically I added them Arctic Zephyr 2 (make sure to install using the repo by @drinfernoo, the github releases are way out of date). It was my first attempt at any type of kodi addon work. You will spend the majority of the time by far just trying to understand the skin xml layout and probably spend your first day just trying to make a change anywhere

But once you get past day one things get alot easier. The skin development documentation isn't that great but it gives you just enough of a hint. Just don't get discouraged. This is a video of how things came out
