Horizon allocates a square space regardless of the type of artwork, hence the gray frame around the 12 monkeys poster. Doing this in Grid will result in things like

which to me is worse than one window having this problem.

In the favourites window it is impossible to adapt the dimensions of the artwork based on what type of artwork is being shown (aside from treating everything the same resulting in the above), as Kodi does not provide the skin with information about the content type, like it does in other windows. This is also why in the favourites window you are not seeing metadata like you see in other windows.

thank you very much for this fantastic skin. Is it possible to stop the menu scrolling? I didn't found an option.

Greetings Kaloschke

Not possible to do this in a way this would fit in Grid because add-on provided infolabels like these can only be used outside of list controls.

This skin is not for you if the following things are important to you:
 

• CD Art, spinning discs;
  
• At least 10 different viewtypes for every content type;
  
• A visibility switch for anything you see on screen;
  
• Loads of animations;
  
• Details about everything. I don't implement features for the sake of adding features, the same goes for metadata. I really couldn't care less about how much money a movie earned or what it's budget was. And in the odd occasion that I do want to know, I have a smartphone beside me that offers a much better way to obtain that information.
  
• Logo's everywhere;
  
• Multiple artwork types per viewtype. It comes down to every viewtype being centered around 1 particular artwork type. A second artwork type is only shown when it makes sense / serves a purpose. That's why you will not see tv show logo's when browsing one particular tv show because....you already know what tv show you're browsing. When you browse your recently added episodes however, having tv show logo's makes sense as it helps you differentiate upon first glance;
  
• Mouse support. I think the overall design would lend itself quite well for touch operation, with some alterations / additions. So while I may do that in a future version, for now mouse support is not supported;
  
• Never leave the homescreen;
  
• You need to see something else everytime you scroll

I do believe that it can be enhanced with some small details here and there but never at the cost if it's simplicity. Things like a buffering overlay for streams is nice and could still keep things simple. Grid on Leia is by far the best and should continue to get better especially since Leia is barely in alpha.

I love horizon for all it's details and information but it's widget organization is a resource hog. When it's taking up to 65% memory and 50% CPU cycles that can be intense for some low powered systems. Even when horizon is tweaked for Leia, Grid may be used more on large screens for it's elegance and simplicity.
