Thanks Gade, totally understand and appreciate the effort you put in to your work on this. Happy to say we have a temporary fix, and look forward to your next release when it comes.

Re my post #14 - forgot to add that it still needs addon.xml updated from
<import addon="xbmc.gui" version="5.15.0"/>
to
<import addon="xbmc.gui" version="5.17.0"/>

what can be done so that you have more time for Rapier?
Since Rapier is the best interface and I've been using it for years, I'm eagerly waiting for the update for Omega.

From Gade's other replies, it sounds like he's busy with real life (perhaps job and/or family stuff), so there's nothing we can do except patiently wait for his time to be freed up naturally. At least there's already a way to get it mostly working with Omega. Plus, there's no real need to update from Nexus at this point.

[font][font]Habe wie beschieben die Dateien [/font][/font][font][font]includes_MenuBar.xml[/font][/font][font][font] und [/font][/font][font][font]addon.xml[/font][/font][font][font] bearbeitet und dann den Ordner [/font][/font][font][font]'rapier.skin'[/font][/font][font][font] nach [/font][/font][font][font]C:\Users\ClausMM\AppData\Roaming\Kodi\userdata\addon_data[/font][/font][font][font] kopiert.

Thanks so much for the kind words and support.
I'm working on creating 28 hours in a day, which should free up some extra time for skinning stuff

Hi,
I am running kodi on a firestick 4k max.
I have rapier installed with kodi 20.5.
I wish to upgrade to the released version of omega 21.
I have tried xplore and es file manager but neither will give me access to the data folder on firestick which if I am correct is where I need to go so I can do the changes above to make rapier work with omega.
Is there an easy way to access the files in rapier to make the changes like for the compatibility change in addon.xml?
Maybe I am using the wrong file managers?
Thank you for your help!
Bryan

You have to download a version of this skin and edit the addon.xml in this zip file.
You then install this edited zip file on your Android device.
RE: How to install Rapier on Omega ? - mullie68 - 2024-06-16
Hi ClausMM, all
Here's a link to the skin in a zip file with all of the necessary mods which you can download. I've incremented the version number to 13.0.12 so Kodi can differentiate.
It includes my working "Favourites" mod which I mentioned in post #14
https://drive.google.com/file/d/1VhuXivxzcH5a1esVeyuHc8BVIjL9yvWt/view?usp=drive_link
To install
Download the skin.rapier-13.0.12.zip file and move it to a location on your device.
start Kodi
Navigate to Settings > Add-ons and select "Install from zip file"
Locate the zip file you downloaded
Install
Worth noting on one of my Librelec systems, but only one, I had to install Confluence first and then this skin before it worked - more a problem with that install than the skin zip file I'm sure.
Hope this helps ease the pain until an official release.
Cheers,
mullie68

I really appreciate it.
Sorry for not being active for a very long time.
I'm crazy busy at the moment.
I plan to update Rapier with all changes, but have no time for this right now.
Hope that 28 hour day works out and you get the time - great work on the skin!

Hey people,
Just upgraded to Omega. Installed Rapier as per this thread - thanks everyone! It's just not the same for me with any other skin!
However in the interface skin setting, there are no options in the theme menu - even though all the files etc are there in the zip file.... any ideas? Balance cannot be truly restored until I have the orange theme back!!
Cheers all

Odd. I didn't have that. However, I recently upgraded a laptop that had an older (Leia) Kodi install to Omega 21.1, and it simply would not allow me to install Rapier. All kinds of errors.
Uninstalled Kodi completely, installed a fresh version of Omega, added Rapier per the instructions in this thread, and it worked. Anecdotal, but sometimes a clean install fixes things for you.
Hoping @Gade can upgrade the skin officially
