First I would like to say thank you to jurialmunkey for creating this great skin.
This is my first attempt in modding Kodi skin. There is little bit of learning curve but as you can see overall result looks acceptable. I have a large collection of music videos and unfortunately Kodi is doing poor job in department of organizing and displaying that content. So this is sort a "hack". I treat music videos as TV Series. The only problem I had was a way of showing videos in a nicer way. Therefore I added this viewtype based on a list. I wanted to bring forward fanart as a focus point and use as much of the real estate as possible. As you can see there are 2 versions of this view. First one I call it Medium because it still allows bottom section (clock and icons) to be visible. Second version is called Tall since it uses entire available space. Clock is moved to the right top corner. Therefore you would have to disable clock and icons in skin furniture settings.
