Made this mod for my Android TV, UI resolution=1920x1080. Original skin is copied from Matrix 19.5, modded from there.

I didn't liked how Music in Fullscreen had quite a small Cover art, lots of unused space (i don't have fanart & visualization effects), unclear metadata. So i tweaked stuff.
Cover Art now has a 800x800 box for it. Progress Bar & Active Track Metadata are now using "selected" color, instead of "button_focus".
At the bottom of this post there's a "Full list of changes to each xml.txt". In case you want to tweak something, or transfer to another version / mod.

Setup:
1) Download skin .zip: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1rqOyi9_...sp=sharing

2) If you don't want automatic switch to Fullscreen View when you start a track from a Playlist, then you should remove this .xml from .zip file:
skin.estuary.music-mod\xml\Custom_1111_MusicFullscreenEnabler.xml
and then repack the .zip.
If you want automatic switch to Fullscreen, keep the .xml and enable this setting in Kodi: Settings -> Media -> Music -> "Switch to visualization on playback".

3) Install the skin (Home -> Add-ons -> Install from zip file). Enable the skin in Settings -> Interface -> Skin. Under "- Colours" there are 2 new themes: "!concrete_V2" and "!concrete_V2-black_bg". Check this setting too: - Configure skin -> Artwork -> Choose background pattern.

4) Drop this advancedsettings.xml into your Userdata folder (how to find Userdata folder: https://kodi.wiki/view/Userdata). In Settings -> File Manager, opening "Profile directory" will get you into your Userdata folder.
If you have advancedsettings.xml already, then just add the new settings:

xml:


<songinfoduration>3600</songinfoduration>

<imageres>800</imageres>

<imagescalingalgorithm>lanczos</imagescalingalgorithm>

5) Clear Thumbnails. For that, open Userdata folder and delete Thumbnails folder.
