One thing I have noticed though is with the new settings, for my TV shows and Movies which are in sub-folders, I'm just getting the default folder icon showing rather than anything interesting. I know I can manually add something there with a <foldername>.jpg image in the relevant folder, but I was wondering whether there would be any way to do something a little more convenient via the skin? Maybe for shows etc to use any available fanart or banners (or any other of the existing artwork) perhaps if the <foldername>.jpg file isn't there, rather than just using a default folder icon?

I see there's a few new sliders for using fanart in various background places now, so would it be possible to do something similar for folder art or is that too deep in the Kodi code for the skin to do?

Keep up the good work anyway, it's looking very good

Similarly for the TV shows we have the top level folder (with the image, made using a folder.jpg file) and the sub-folder inside it ("Glastonbury") which again has the boring folder icon.

It would be nice if that boring icon could automatically be replaced by something if a folder.jpg file isn't present, similar to the thumbnail in the movies example or the folder.jpg image in the TV show one (the gig picture). For example for the Glastonbury one it could be a miniaturised version of the fanart, or possibly some of the other artwork available by the metadata. I appreciate in a general situation like the superheroes movie folder it could be much more difficult, but that could be covered again by a folder.jpg file.

For me that's a backward step from the older version, which is much clearer and easier to see what is active. The lack of a background for the icons on the add-ons home shelf is something similar that I equally miss from the old version, now I've had more time to play (I use a mainly white background, so the new text gets very lost, plus note how unreadable the "X-Men Origins: Wolverine" entry is at the bottom of the list in the first image).

Same goes for the OSD - it's nowhere near as nice to use as the Jarvis version was (and how are you supposed to access the three-line settings menu in the OSD from the gears icon?)

I have my Pi Zero with me though also with Amber and Krypton on it, so will check if that has the same issues or not. Both systems are upgrades from Jarvis, so it could be down to that. If the zero replicates I'll try a fresh reinstall of Amber.

Concerning the OSD - I'm generally running things with the TV remote via CEC, so whilst I can access the gears icon for settings via the up-arrow, I can't actually work out how to access the menu itself as pushing up arrow again seems to send the selection back down to the play/pause/rewing/ffwd line. I will have another play tonight on the zero and see what I can get again and will let you know.

So I think a reinstall on both machines is the next step. I can't do it now on the zero as the web viewer add-on also seems to have problems so i can't log into the hotel WiFi with it.

It's still useable for now, but the pull request is most welcome.
