The skinner will need to update the skin, but you can do a quick fix following the post above.

Hi, using @Karellen's tutorial I got the Rapier skin working on Kodi v21 Omega. But unfortunately I have one more problem, which is the display of Favorites. I am not able to access them in Rapier in any way. Does anyone have any ideas on how to make this work?

All, I was able to get a somewhat functional Favourites working on Rapier under Omega.
To do so I renamed the Kodi addons\skin.rapier folder to skin.rapier.old and created a new skin.rapier folder in the same location. I then downloaded and extracted the current Rapier Master branch from Github (https://github.com/gade01/Rapier/archive/refs/heads/master.zip), copying the contents of the Rapier-master folder from the zip into to the new rapier.skin folder. (so rapier.skin contains addon.xml, and the 720p, colors... folders)
I then edited the includes_MenuBar.xml file, changing line number 223 from:
<onclick>ActivateWindow(favourites)</onclick>
to:
<onclick>ActivateWindow(favouritesbrowser)</onclick>
It's not native Omega but it works - brings up the same Favourites window that you would see from the Main Menu > General > Favourites.
Note that this change didn't work on the latest Kodi repo version of the Rapier skin - I just got a black screen. The Master branch contains some updated files (and at least one of the files required by Omega, MyFavourites.xml) so it looks like work had progressed between the Matrix release and Nexus, but the skin repo wasn't updated.
I'm really hoping for an updated version of Rapier (Please Gade!) as no other skin comes close - but hope this helps some people in the interim.
Works on Android, Linux (Librelec) and Windows so far.

Thanks so much guys for all the support and kind words.
I really appreciate it.
Sorry for not being active for a very long time.
I'm crazy busy at the moment.
I plan to update Rapier with all changes, but have no time for this right now.
