Default to "Icon" view mode - srbutt - 2017-02-24
Currently the view type starts in "List" mode for all addons, and need to be switched to Icon mode(preferred mode for me). How can set view mode to "Icon" as default so all addons open in that mode.

Is this possible for Kodi 17.3? Has anybody achieved this?

Hi to do this you need to edit the xml called "MyVideoNav.xml" and change where it says defaultcontrol to the corrosponding view number, which in this case is 53 if you delete the contents of the xml and paste this inside it and save it, then it shall do as you desire
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
