@spykos , you mean like this:



If so, you can already do this via the Color Options in Amber settings (Matrix only at the moment, from GitHub), since I added back the use of script.skin.helper.colorpicker for color management.  You can change the opacity of the vertical menu/submenu background tint to 0%.  Like so:






Please let me know if this is what you were looking for.  Thanks.

Yes that one thanks. So I set the tint to FF value to make it transparent. Got confused as it was white before

Some bugs I noticed while setting the vertical menu to icon only:

1. If you set menu static the last icon (power) is not shown.
2. Show menu item name has no effect. Name is only displayed if you set the name to show in top bar.

Also although I enabled Choosing Default Menu Item, when I set an item to be the default and restart kodi
is not selected.

All above were tried with Matrix.

@spykos , in regards to the issues you mentioned:

1. I have fixed this, the changes are on GitHub.

2.  Also fixed.

3.  I cannot replicate this issue, at least under Windows.  The steps should be:

a. Enable the option in Amber Settings, Home Layout:



Then, in the menu configuration dialog, select "Make Default Menu Item" for the menu item you wish to be the default:




Please take a look at the label on the top right of the dialog, and ensure that it states the menu item you wish to be default.  In the screenshot above, the label states: "Current Default Menu Item: TV Shows".  After that, just go back to the main menu (this step is important!), and then quit Kodi and restart.  The menu item you chose should be selected.

You need to have script.embuary.helper installed and enabled for this function to work.

Bart

Have you also tried deleting and moving menus and then setting the default ?

Will the fixed changes be on 3.4.19 or I need to download from git ?
