I'm still trying to find a clean way to combine the video and music libraries under one shortcut so that I could have just one KODI menu item that would open into all of my non-gaming media.
P.S. A big thanks to jurialmunkey for the awesome original skin, KODser for the mod, BigNoid for script.skinshortcuts, and Evan Amos (The Vanamo Online Game Museum - https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/User:Evan-Amos) for almost all of the awesome console/controller images. I see his work all over gaming websites but hardly ever see any credit!

I had ended up with a similar result but was still unsatisfied. As of now I don't even have Kodi installed on anything in my house. I took the lazy way and went with Plex for my media needs and Steam BPM to handle my gaming. I don't have any of the modified files anymore, but for me the fun was learning how to strip out the unwanted parts of a view and modify it to my liking. Maybe in the future I'll use Kodi again for game launching, but as of right now, I don't see that happening.(2017-04-16, 04:47)boozecrooze01 Wrote: Just wanted to thank KODser for enabling AEL views within this skin...it was long overdue (http://forum.kodi.tv/showthread.php?tid=...pid2087291).

HELL YES!!! This looks freaking amazing! I have been trying to get my AZP to look like this and I am having some major issues. HOW did you get your home menu to look like this specifically? You mention "script.skinshortcuts". Where/what is this and do I need this for this specific look? I downloaded the latest master, enabled vertical view on the home menu, icons, etc. But when I do this, I can't get a single clean wide icon for each section (my icon is scrunched and I if I remove the text, it still has a placeholder), and my desired background art is heavily dimmed. Can you provide the exact links / instructions to COPY THIS EXACT skin setup. It is the best thing I have ever seen for a clean/simple UI. Thanks so much for the help. I seriously cannot wait to get this running on my end. I am very bummed this skin mod is dead, but if I can get it to look just like yours, I will be completely satisfied. Thanks man!
Derp... Just read that you developed this yourself. Is there anyway you can share your exact skin with me/us so that I can also implement this? Are you hosting this somewhere? I seriously appreciate your work!
