Kinda new to retrogaming. Got hold of IAGL and loads of rims, in the middle of settibg it all up. Just trying to find a skin that suits my needs..... Which I don't know what yet lol

It is not yet compatible with IAGL as I haven't fully setup the addon on my development machine. There are some differences in how it works with the <system> tag compared to AEL and until I get that part figured out, the views won't work as they cannot dynamically adapt. It will be revisited but unfortunately, for now you'll just have to wait. The only alternatives are to use a skin which supports IAGL properly or has generic views with multiple box shapes or consider switching to a setup that incorporates the AEL addon instead if intending to use Lyrebird for now.

Box shapes are chosen dynamically based upon the system type specified for your launchers in AEL. If the item has no system property or is a system that doesn't fall into one of the dynamic shape categories it will display posters by default and as a fallback. PSX games should default to square if your launcher has the system tag set as Sony PlayStation, so double check that is the case on your end. To ensure it isn't a bug I just went through the code and can confirm that that Sony PlayStation games fall under square when detected. Also, make sure you don't have Show Parent Items (the back arrow that appears in your list of items) on in your Kodi settings, because this item obviously is not a ROM or a launcher but a Kodi thing there is no system tag for it and if that item is currently focused the skin cannot ascertain what the system is will therefore presume it must be a poster and all items subsequently are too.
Hope that helps.

Thanks again for this skin and can't wait for the updates.

Not this weekend, no. The next is likely.

This way you can get some more of the background art visible with the nice look of bigger cases. Doesn't need any videos playing when you stop on a movie, but just the nice look so it doesn't slow the skin down. The Bello skin has a Netflix style view to pick, but the cases below it are small.
Anything is possible and making views is my favourite part of the process. I sort of have an idea of what you're describing but by the same token I need more specificity. If you could either "frankenstein" an image together to give me an impression or show me a screenshot of a view that is on the same wavelength as what you're after so I can get an impression from that, it would help immensely. However, I'm not going to port someone else's views to Lyrebird or clone something 1 for 1. It'll be my version of whatever it is.
Also throughout development of skins and modding over the years I have made quite a lot of views which don't get added to any public distributions because they are "purpose built" for displaying a presumed amount of assets in a very particular way, no view options exist for these, they function only one way but what ever it does, it does well. I was considering adding them into Lyrebird and keeping them locked behind an option toggle (something like 'Show Unsupported Views') and would add in other requested / custom views in a similar fashion.
