Is there a way to reset the skin back to its original look (with original menu's too) - FamShoppa - 2021-06-11
I'm new to Kodi so I was experimenting with lots of settings on the Amber skin. Everything's really messy looking & there's no saving it now lol! I want to start all over again & make all the colors and menu's appear as they did "out the box". But I don't see any "restore defaults" option in the Amber skin settings.
What should I do?
(not sure it's relevant, but I'm on Nvidia Shield Pro with Kodi Matrix, & Amber installed from the repository)

Look for a folder in
userdata/addon_data/skin.amber and there should be settings.xml file, which you can edit, rename or delete. Your choice.

I made so many absurd changes to the "actions", backgrounds, and shelves of these various menu's...I just want to reset back to how Amber originally had them.
I even tried uninstalling the skin & re-installing Amber (also checking to see if settings.xml was deleted)...and the old homescreen menu's still re-appear.

These steps provided by Amber's developer worked for me (in case any of you have this problem in the future)...
Quote:1. Quit Kodi
2. Delete the "script-skinshortcuts-includes.xml" file from the skin's 1080i folder.
3. Delete all files that contain "Amber" from the <userdata>\addon_data\script.skinshortcuts\ folder
4. Delete the settings.xml from the <userdata>\addon_data\skin.amber\ folder.
5. Restart Kodi
That should get you a default skin configuration, including menus and widgets.
Please let me know how it goes. Thanks.
