Titan Vanilla for Kodi 18, 20 and 21

What is Vanilla? 

Collins Dictionary says: 

If you describe a person or thing as vanilla, you mean that they are ordinary, with no special or extra features.

That's what this mod is about: Just an adaption of the well-known 'Titan for Krypton'-Skin without any new fancy features or killer features of the last generation. Or in case you are a Liverpool fan: The normal one. 

I love the simple and elegant design of the original Titan skin and personally I don't need more features than the ones that already existed so far in Kodi Krypton. Moreover, I have neither time nor the necessary knowledge to extend the skin. So please don't expect new views, new widgets etc. 

Installation for Kodi 18 - Leia

1. Install last version of Marcel Veldts Repository (Kodi -> Addons -> click "install from zip"): 
   https://github.com/kodi-community-addons...-1.0.1.zip
   
2. Install repository of Titan Vanilla: 
   https://github.com/malvinas2/repository....-1.0.0.zip
   
3. Choose in add-ons, Install from repository -> Titan Vanilla repository -> Look and Feel -> Skin -> Install 'Titan Vanilla'.
   

Installation for Kodi 19 - Matrix
         There is no version available for Kodi 19.

Installation for Kodi 20 - Nexus - Last Update: 2024-05-20

1. Install repository of Titan Vanilla: 
   https://github.com/malvinas2/repository....-1.1.0.zip
   
2. Choose in add-ons, Install from repository -> Titan Vanilla repository -> Look and Feel -> Skin -> Install 'Titan Vanilla'.
   

Installation for Kodi 21 - Omega - Last Update: 2024-05-20

1. Install repository of Titan Vanilla: 
   https://github.com/malvinas2/repository....-1.0.0.zip
   
2. Choose in add-ons, Install from repository -> Titan Vanilla repository -> Look and Feel -> Skin -> Install 'Titan Vanilla'.
   

Please note that the skin hangs the first time you start it! Kodi must be closed - if necessary via task manager. Everything should work on subsequent starts and when switching between different skins. 
I was able to narrow down the error a little bit, but unfortunately the basic problem remains.

Important:
Make sure that in the Add-ons settings 'Unknown sources' are enabled and 'Update official add-ons' is set to 'Any repositories'. 


Remarks

• a menu entry for a search function similar to the one used in Estuary can be defined by 'ActivateWindow(1107)'
  
• game section should be working
  
• I haven't tried to import a backup of old settings and do not recommend this. 
  
• Version Kodi 20-Nexus: Support for the 'Classic Theme (aka Mediaportal)' has been dropped as well as the 'Low Performance Mode'. 
  
• Version Kodi 21-Omega: Support for slim OSD has been dropped
  

Thanks to Marcel, Cartman.dos, Fuchs2468, AchillesPunks and MardukL for their support and their great skins!

fantastic tx .

A very basic question I know but , I cant get any icons to show alongside main menu items. I set the thumbnail ion skin settings  either default or custom , but they don't show on home screen ? , am using " simple confluence style " vertical menu ?
EDIT : 
Had to put a bit of code in  "includes HomeVertical.xml"
<control type="image">
            <posx>15</posx>
            <width>80</width>
            <height>80</height>
            <texture border="5">$INFO[ListItem.Thumb]</texture>
            <colordiffuse>white</colordiffuse>
            <visible>skin.hastheme(skindefault)</visible>
        </control>
sorted now.

I am looking for an Titan Skin that can work on Kodi Matrix Test Builds for the Raspberry Pi? Can this skin work

[MrGenius1]

Thanks.

I have done it with no problems that I've noticed.

Does your skin have simple confluence horizontal as an option?

I'm using Bingie which has it but like you have no need for the advanced features available in this skin. I'm also having an issue with the Skin Helper Service version that Bingie needs to work properly. What version does yours uses?

[Zodler]

Question. I have set the vertical style and used the option detach widgets to see them all at once.

I remember in the past with Titan, I could auto hide the vertical menu and see only the widgets but I cannot find that option anymore. Where is it?

I want to see only all the widgets and only when hitting LEFT to see the menu.

[malvinas2]

Hello,

I keep on improving the mod, e.g. the nub and slider problem should be solved and I did some slight code modifications. As I am currently on vacation till the end of July, work will be paused until August.
Regarding vertical style and simple confluence horizontal style: If it worked on Titan krypton, it should still do here.

Thanks to Marcel, Cartman.dos and MardukL for their support and their great skins! 

I have a question. Is this skin more lighter than Titan?

[K3rm1t4]

@malvinas2, I just wanted to add my appreciation for you keeping marcelveldt's awesome skin alive through Titan Vanilla - thank you very much!

[nexus7]

@malvinas2 Thank you for your great work! I´m very happy to be able to use this fantastic skin with Kodi 18 now.

I found some minor issues, maybe you are able and willing to fix them...

Win 10 & AndroidTV:
On playback start the OSD Panel slides in for a second and then slides out and in again before it fades out after the konfigurated amount of seconds.
So it looks like a kind of flickering...

AndroidTV only:
It´s not possible to import a new color scheme
The backup function (create a backup) of the skin does not work

Hello, 

I am not using Kodi on Android and have no possibility to test this. 
Maybe this is the same error as mentioned in https://github.com/kodi-community-addons.../issues/10  ?

Did you try the updated versions written by cartman.dos ? See https://github.com/cartmandos/script.ski...skinbackup and https://github.com/cartmandos/script.ski...olorpicker
