remove text of main menu items - theo08 - 2024-01-28

hi

i would like to remove the text boxes for the menu items to the left. instead i only want to display the icons to have more space.

with the help of this thread (https://forum.kodi.tv/showthread.php?tid=356021&pid=3075217#pid3075217) i managed to get this far by editing home.xml:

now can sb help me get rid of these blue boxes where originally the text was displayed?

thanks!

You need to remove https://github.com/xbmc/xbmc/blob/master/addons/skin.estuary/xml/Home.xml#L873-L880

Should also be fairly simply to move 3 top icons for Shutdown / Settings / Search into the left hand menu so it's a complete vertical set of icons.

additionally, Estuary Mod V2 has already done this so you could see how you like the way they did it and copy it, they added auto-hide as well

awesome that did the trick. thank you!
and you are right it would be great to have the icons for Shutdown and Settings in the vertical bar as well (and just remove search as i don't need it).
May i borrow your expertise once more to point me in the right direction of where to look for these? thank you Smile

:edit
found the items, removing them was actually quite simple , just deleted this:

Code:
                    <include content="IconButton">

                        <param name="control_id" value="804" />

                        <param name="onclick" value="ActivateWindow(shutdownmenu)" />

                        <param name="icon" value="icons/power.png" />

                        <param name="label" value="$LOCALIZE[33060]" />

                    </include>

                    <include content="IconButton">

                        <param name="control_id" value="802" />

                        <param name="onclick" value="ActivateWindow(settings)" />

                        <param name="icon" value="icons/settings.png" />

                        <param name="label" value="$LOCALIZE[21417]" />

                    </include>

                    <include content="IconButton">

                        <param name="control_id" value="801" />

                        <param name="onclick" value="ActivateWindow(1107)" />

                        <param name="icon" value="icons/search.png" />

                        <param name="label" value="$LOCALIZE[137]" />

                    </include>

                    <include content="IconButton">

                        <param name="control_id" value="803" />

                        <param name="onclick" value="Fullscreen" />

                        <param name="icon" value="icons/now-playing/fullscreen.png" />

                        <param name="label" value="$LOCALIZE[31000]" />

                        <param name="visible" value="Player.HasMedia" />

                    </include>

rearranging them vertically in the sidebar, i wasn't succesful so far though

:edit2
