and probably change the IDs 5100, 5200, 5300 and 5400 to re-arrange items in a specific order. Probably you have to swap those sub-sections completely.
I´m not sure if that will work, but it might be worth a try.

Also, I saw your previous question about re-ordering the sources. This should also be possible. Just navigate to the sources.xml file located in the user data folder, then copy and paste the new order you want for your video sources. Just remember to delete the old entry. I'm pretty sure this will change the order of the sources the next time you open Kodi.

Where does it normally reside in Windows 10?(2022-07-24, 16:45)Chizad Wrote:Yes, you can still re-order as you've done previously. I do the same thing quite often using Matrix.

For custom or modded versions of the Estuary, the skin is located in the Roaming folder. As an example, this is how the path of my modded version of Estuary looks:-xml:C:\Program Files\Kodi\addons\skin.estuary\xml
The Estuary skin requires the Home.xml file to actually work, so it's very unlikely it does not exist, you just need to track it downxml:C:\Users\Name-Of-Your-PC\AppData\Roaming\Kodi\addons\skin.estuary.pvr.plus\xml
To see skins located in the AppData folder sometimes you need to enable the option 'show hidden files, folders and drives' listed under the views option of the folder options as shown below:-
Hope this helps.

Yep, sorry. Thanks. Not sure why I wasn't picking it up in Windows Search, but when I manually browsed there there it was. And swapping those tags worked again. Thanks!

My advice would be to copy the whole skin.estuary folder to somewhere safe to you have a backup of your changes. To keep track of where you've changed things then in this backup copy you could rename home.xml to home_mod.xml for example. Then within home.mod.xml you can add a comment such as
xml:<!-- MOD -->
above the line you've changed, so the changed line are easy to locate.
Or if you changed several ilnes grouped together
xml:<!-- MOD start -->
some
line
of
skin
xml
code
<!-- MOD end -->

Just as an FYI, I have an Estuary mod that let's you reorder the main menu items as well as the widgets in each section (and enable/disable as desired). You're of course welcome to do it by hand if you want. I just wanted to offer a way for you to potentially get the same (or similar) result without the code work. I keep the mods up-to-date with the main Estuary branch, so other than the menu reorganization, it's the same as the default Estuary. There are versions for Matrix and the alphas of Nexus linked in my signature.
