Just started implementing the latest updates to the skin.helper.service script. If you install Mimic 5 from github, you'll also need to manually install skin.helper.service and its helper scripts.

Hello! Is there a way to turn off the color filter over the fanart on the home screen?
I'd like to see the picture without the blue filter.

You'd have to edit the skin, look in Includes_Backgrounds.xml.

Hey there,
I´´m using this skin since a year now and it became my favorite.
v5 looks a bit material inspired, i love it !

But one question:
Is there any way to add multiple widgets? Expectly for the vertical menu its really helpful i you could add more than one widget.
Thanks

Not possible at the moment, we'll see if I ever get around to adding something like that.

Set the color opacity on background color to 0%

I also added an asterisk to the end of the albums in the discography list that are in the local library.

Mimic looks good for music. (I will try it out for the first time).

Can I suggest adding the asterisk to the beginning of the album name as it can't be seen at end if the title is long. (Maybe add it to end of Date?)

Actually, I've changed it since then. It now looks like this (available only on github at the moment)...

I see that the title of the topic change do we have to change to master branch or stick with the kodi18 branch of mimic ?

Yeah, you'll notice there isn't a kodi18 branch anymore. I saved the v4 master to its own branch and made Mimic 5 the master. Will be releasing v5 for Kodi 17 now. Just waiting for skin helper service updates to make it into the repo, then will submit a PR for Mimic.

If Mimic v5 gets in the repo, does that mean Mimic v4 in our Krypton installations will be automatically overwritten when Kodi does an add-on update?

Yes, it will replace Mimic 4 if you have automatic updates turned on.

Mimic 4 has fallen quite a ways behind in terms of features and bug fixes, so hopefully most will be happy with the update.

OK!

I tried v5 on my test machine. Is it by design that in the vertical home screen menu, there are 4 instead of 5 positions for the menu items? I have set up 5 items, and in v4 they're all in a row on the screen, but with v5 I get 4 and a scroll indicator.

Are you talking about the menu items or widgets? If widgets, yes it's by design and most widgets display 25 items.
