Excellent work Helly1206,
I thought I was going to have to downgrade from Isengaurd to get my prefered setup back, thank you.

A small request/question:
I am really into the ability to show favourites (and hence playlists) below the menu as if they were plug-ins.
However, when you do this they will only make use of the default icon. Is there any way to get them to use the icon assigned to the favourite, or any other?
At the moment mine will only show a default media icon.

Thanks for getting back on this Helly. This may make it clearer:

Hi,

Thanks for the explanation. It clarifies a lot to me. Unfortunately this behaviour is not caused by the skin. To select favourites the script 'script.favourites' is used. In the python code for this script you can find the cause for this:

if 'playlists/music' in fav_path or 'playlists/video' in fav_path:
listitem.setIconImage("DefaultPlaylist.png")
listitem.setProperty("Icon", "DefaultPlaylist.png")
else:
listitem.setIconImage(favourite.attributes[ 'thumb' ].nodeValue)
listitem.setProperty("Icon", favourite.attributes[ 'thumb' ].nodeValue)

They probably did this for a reason. You can ask the makers of this script, they may be willing to change this behaviour. See the thread of this script:
http://forum.kodi.tv/showthread.php?tid=114671&page=14

You can comment out the first 4 lines from the quote in the script and make the indent correct. Then it should work as long as the script is not updated.

The favourites window (that you select from the home window) doesn't make use of this script, so you can see the correct icon there.

Thanks,
Helly
