@boba23 Will check on that when I get home, but yes if you clear an item it should disappear completely from the menu.

Hey Mudis,
thx for the quick answer. Well, I think I didn't see any other option than "Clear" that might point to removing the entry. Might I need a reboot? Since I am putting my machine to sleep mainly.
EDIT: just tried again ... now it's really gone, as I'd expect to. without rebooting .... I swear yday night, it left me just with an empty spot, where "Stream" was sitting before ....weird.

On my machine an occasional restart of Kodi or reboot certainly helps, probably because this MOD is in progress and settings are continually changing and need to get reloaded. Anyway glad it worked, but I'll still check tonight that there's no problems

Alright man, thx for your effort again. CCM is the only skin that fits my taste, and with your mods it's perfect ;-)

Thanks for the music video (concerts) with the thumbnail support. Just some small remarks. The recent concert thumbnail view, can we use the thumbnail view from tv-series instead of movies. Then we get some bigger thumbnails.
When I go to my music videos I miss the view I’m used too from your old skin. Can’t remember witch one it was :-(
But bring back your old views if possible. Also when playing a music video and just looking through the other music videos I can’t see the fanart. This “problem” only occurs when playing a file. If I don’t play anything I can see the fanart for the music video.
Two other things
1. On homescreen. Could it be possible to hide/remove the Search and Full Screen area?
2. Media plot on pause. Will this give us the year of the movie when pressing pause? This is a small thing I miss from the old version.
Thanks again for all the hard work and try keep the default Confluence look at a fresh install. Then you have giving us the power to change all goodies! =)

Actually todo it properly I need to put back a few musicvideos onto my system 
I tend to remember being asked before to use TVShow size widgets for fanart, it's no problem just wondering if I've got some of the code somewhere.
The seeing the fanart of of a list item while playing a file will probably take some looking at. I know those settings are not working properly ATM and will depend on two settings - "Hide Background Fanart" and another one for showing what's playing now. The Show whats playing takes precedence over all other backgrounds.
We can add a toggle for the search and fullscreenbar. Will again need a bit of work as we need something constant to move up from the menu but maybe can have an invisable button - I'll see what works.
Providing I can get the year of the movie from the videoplayer it can be shown with the plot on pause.
Still trying to maintain original Confluence look on initial install, may need reminding later!!

One small thing: when defining menu (settings) i can't use page up/down keys, paging doesn't work. It didn't work in Gotham version either. It's only important when defining menu, so it's not so important.

Home Screen
•Lower menu bar Option
Could the click on this option present 2 different options?
Low Menu Bar
Super Low Menu Bar (All the way to the bottom) Requires RSS feeds OFF?
I kinda like it down there

Not sure it is even possible but I would love to see a Settings Icon on the lower right next to the Favorites and Power buttons.

Need to be at my system to look properly, but I'd suggest paging keys need to be able to move a complete page. Truth is I've never tried so don't really know without testing.

Sorry I'd not be happy putting in something that required somethingelse to be switched off - it would come back and bite me with the first guy who also wanted RSS Feed. Plus I think two positions for the menu is enough as there are a lot of other settings still to be implemented and I'd like a chance of keeping the MOD running on lower end machines.

Personally I don't mind that idea. No one has commented yet but soon there'll be requests to remove those buttons alltogether. Anyway I'll look at it
[Edit] You mean lower left, I had to go and check quickly

Stats bar is still on the to do list and for the search button you need to have global.search script installed and enabled in the MOD's settings.

LOL yes I meant my other right (aka Left!)
I can understand people wanting them gone, I just hate having to take up a scrolling menu item up with an item that isn't really content.

Sure, if it helps I was going to put a shortcut to "Settings" on the shutdown button, because it's only a matter of time before somebody removes the settings menu item and then will want to know how to get to settings.

I like this idea as well, just in case you wanted a second opinion. Other than the hide background fanart, which isn't a huge deal, I'm loving having this for Helix. Options are very limited when using a raspberry pi. I like the look of confluence and really only configure the main menu so this mod is perfect. Thank you for the time and hard work you put in to it.
Actually now that I think of it wasn't there an option for default settings for setups with lower memory, like the pi? I thought I remembered that from the gotham mod. I understand you have a lot of other things to work on but this might be something nice in the future. Anyway thanks again!!
