thats just one button - imagine what you could do with a buttonset
Buttonset - You mean something like a taskbar like Apple/Windows (actually an invention of *box window managers in UNIX)? Yes, very good idea. In principle, and provided the UI is mouse-centric. Kodi isn't, so before endorsing the idea I must be convinced that a taskbar, in Kodi, exceeds the benefits to be had by a dialog popup listbox which are more native to Kodi. The most known of these is the popup power menu (activated by pressing S) aka xml/DialogMenuButton.xml. Plus Kodi includes the Commands addon which enables you to craft your own custom dialog popup listbox. Coding it is kid simple, plus all your customizations survive updates as they are saved in $USER_DIR/userdata/addon_data. This is a huge advantage compared to tinkering with skin files as they get lost on upgrades. And even if you fork your skin and rename it to something like $skin_name_$fork_name a customized Commands listbox has the additional advantage that it can be used among all skins.
