Hi @strix75

Thanks for the kind words and support.

I wrote a detailed wiki here, which should answer most skin related questions: https://kodi.wiki/view/Add-on:Rapier
Please let me know if this helps.

This section will describe how to add a custom category: https://kodi.wiki/view/Add-on:Rapier#Cre...m_category
Everything is covered, from the name to icons, addon shortcuts, widgets and backgrounds.

This section will describe how to edit, add and remove submenus from all categories: https://kodi.wiki/view/Add-on:Rapier#Add...g_submenus

I will do some testing I need to get this skin alive.

Love this skin, to be honest I'm so used to doing everything  myself I kind of wish it had less stuff.

One thing with it though is I have custom posters for all my folders and they are 200x300 so Icon and Wall view crop off the top and bottom of the icons, which is unfortunate. Is there any way to change the dimensions of the icon boxes?

Hi @siccoyote.

Thanks for the kind words and support and welcome to the forums.

There's no way to change the dimensions without breaking or completely changing the layout.
But you can try to change a bit yourself in the xml files.
Icon view is View_50_Icon.xml and wall view is View_69_Wall.xml

Just remember that any custom edits to the xml files are overwritten when the skin updates.
And I always suggest to keep the skin updated at all times.

Thanks for the tip managed to fix the Wall to fit the height by changing this line
<itemlayout width="160" height="225" condition="[Container.Content(Movies)
to
<itemlayout width="160" height="260" condition="[Container.Content(Movies)
I don't suppose you could point me toward where the zoomed image spec is in the file?

[siccoyote]

Never mind I found it.
All sorted then

Sounds great, thanks.

Hi!
As i am just about to upgrade my system from a Win8.1 to a Win11 PC: Is there a swmart way, to backup and restore all the customisations i made for Rapier?
I mean:
- Custom Items in the Main Menue incl. sub menues
- Custom Backgrounds
- general skin settings
- etc.

Not sure if this requires any specific backup from Rapier or if this can be acchieved by a general Kodi-Setting Backup....

Hi Reelyator.

Absolutely.
You can backup all skin settings.

Go to Skin Settings > Skin Settings > Export skin settings

[Reelyator]

....Go to Skin Settings > Skin Settings > Export skin settings

...too easy for me to find it

[Reelyator]

Hi Reelyator.

Absolutely.
You can backup all skin settings.

Go to Skin Settings > Skin Settings > Export skin settings

.....but nothing happensm when i hit the "Export" Button.

Does this require the additional Skin Helper Add-On? Could it be, that this is currently incompatibe with Matrix??

Yeah, it requires the skin helper skin backup addon.

I think I have a working version in my repo:
