Bind a key to the ReloadSkin() command in your kodi keymap, this will save you from having to relaunch kodi everytime. I use F5
e.g. in your .kodi/userdata/keymaps/keyboard.xml
Code:
<keymap>
<global>
<keyboard>
<F5>ReloadSkin()</F5>
</keyboard>
</global>
</keymap>
Wiki on editing keymap

really don't know why i didn't ask about this before i started editing files weeks ago, it would have saved me a ton of time! some time ago i edited a phpbb website, gave it a face lift, and the phpbb software had a "recompile" option that allowed you to do the same thing....
anyway, tried doing this but can't get it going.... the keyboard.xml files that currently exist are as follows:
C:\Media\Kodi\system\keymaps\keyboard.xml
C:\Media\Kodi\system\keymaps\nyxboard\keyboard.xml
C:\Media\Kodi\system\keymaps\wetek-play\keyboard.xml
C:\Users\UserName\AppData\Roaming\Kodi\userdata\keymaps\ <EMPTY>
the userdata\keymaps folder is empty, so i created a keyboard.xml file, added the code you posted to it, and saved it to the userdata\keymaps folder but no love... any idea how i can get it to work? i think i read that if the key is already used by kodi adding another instance won't work, not sure if kodi already had f5 mapped that does something else?
UPDATE: got it working, thank very much! again, just wish i wasn't pretty much done with my edits! then again, is anyone ever pretty much done with their edits, ha ha...
