If you change an existing widget, you have to reapply it to the main menu item to see the changes. This goes for changing the icon, name, or path.

Thanks for pointing this out, I just pushed an update to github that makes this change for the top and vertical menu layouts.

Tried that. No luck.

Disabling Mimic, uninstalling script.toolbox, and then re-enabling Mimic has done the trick though.

Thanks
Be aware that without script.toolbox you won't be able to import/export/reset skin settings.

After reinstalling script.toolbox trying to export settings gives me a script error every time. Any ideas what could be causing that?

You're sure you are using the latest script.toolbox from github? Sounds like you have the repo version installed. You need version 1.1.0.

The toolbox script (1.1.0) was just submitted to the repo, you can also just wait a day or two and it will auto update. Assuming you have auto updates enabled.

Yes, the latest freshly downloaded from Github and installed manually. Same with your skin.

In fact, I've done a complete wipe, reinstall and configure. I can back up the config now, that works, but the first time I open a video or music file, after Kodi is booted, I get the Toolbox Script Error. Here's what it says in the Log:

Could it be some kind of lookup going on?

RE: Mimic 2.x for Isengard - braz - 2015-07-14

My guess is that you never installed the script initially from the repo so you didn't get any of the dependencies. You likely need to install script.module.pil.

Okay, thanks, where would I find that?

Also, does it matter that, under Addons, the Script Toolbox folder is labeled script.toolbox-master and I have two folders script.mimic and script.mimic-master?

RE: Mimic 2.x for Isengard - braz - 2015-07-14

Yeah, you don't want 2 Mimic folders, nor sure which one gets loaded. You will likely be better off just waiting until Mimic 2.2.0 is on the repo. I plan to submit it sometime this week.

@braz, thank you... the additional 5 menu's across the top is working great! love the way the focus colour zooms left to right across the top when you reach the end Smile

On another note... I've got 2 users setup on one of my machines running mimic, both setup as separate profiles... I've been experimenting with changing the mimic highlight colours (to assist users knowing which profile is logged in)... I've noticed that the colours I set for each user are not being retained, when I log out and back in or quit... they both seem to default back to the default mimic blue colour.

I run another machine on Titan and it seems to retain colour setting per profile user. any chance you could have a look to see if its an Isengard or skin issue?

thanks again for the additional top bar menu Smile

I looked into this once before, each profile should have its own guisettings.xml and retain its own settings. Did you save all of the profiles in the same folder? They may need to be in separate folders.

yes I believe so... everything has been created separately and stored separately when setup. profiles/guisettings.xml stored as follows...

-->userdata folder-->guisettings.xml (I presume this to be my master profile)

-->userdata folder-->profiles-->user2--->guisettings.xml
