Get my old skin at least I think skin setting back - appropriate - 2021-09-11
Raspberry Pi 4 Libreelec 10 and Kodi 19.1
Following advice from the Kodi Blog I did a fresh install on new media, which of course means I still have the old installation. I did do a system and Kodi backup, but my library export was to individual files, a mistake for this purpose (as the restore function want a single filename) as I think a single file might have made restoring the library faster than the overnight refresh everything in this path method used when re-establishing my sources. ( which did not happen from the tar file, even with the reboot, and a second restore and reboot.
I now have both library export to individual files and to a single file. I have also made a new System and Kodi backup, with the Matrix and 19.1 information.
I am using the default skin.
My issue is that when I pause a video I used to get time, time remaining, time video will end information on the upper right of the screen. Now I only get time used and total video time, in the center of the top of the screen. I want to get the old display back, as I found it quite useful.
I understand that the setup happens in an (I did some searching on the forum but found nothing directly on point) xml file and I have found a couple related to skins in the old libreelec media, but even after having read those files, I am not sure which is the correct one to modify, and rather that telling me which lines to modify, would it be possible to just copy a file from the old media to the new media and get my old setting back? If that is possible, which file, and where is it located.
Sorry if this post is convoluted, please ask for any clarification you may need.
Thanks for your time and attention, and of course any solutions you might have.

Of interest might be that when I plug a mouse into the pi I get the display I want but when the mouse is removed, it goes back to the new (uninformative display
