Hi.
A few years back I used Kodi for my music library  (probably version 19, I'm not sure).  The  "Now Playing"  screen was minimalistic, with only the essential information for the song. Both for the control and info screens. It looked something like this:   Artist, Album, Track number, Track title.   Enough info.

Now I re-installed Kodi again, and the new Playing Now screen has a lot of information that takes a lot of screen space.  Like year,  stars rating,  Next Song (??)  , and all the little squares with the technical info

My question is.... is there a way to customize the Playing Now screen to all this (IMO) unnecessary things?    I would like to be able to chose what fields are displayed in the Playing Now screen.
I looked at all the settings and the skin settings also but could not find anything.

Thanks so much

The technical info at the bottom is called media flags, these can be disabled from the skin settings. To modify the rest requires editing the skin xml files.

Thank you.
So that's what "media flags" are.  Great.

Do you know exactly what file I have to modify for the rest?

Thanks!

Thank you!  I'll tinker with it and see what I can get   :-)

I did it!  Thank you.  Much better now.
I can keep tweaking with the alignment, but this is basically what I wanted.

BTW, I disabled "media flags" but they are still there on the Playing Now screen.   Either this setting has no impact on the Playing Now screen,  or maybe it's a bug.

Thanks again
