Loving the look of the banner view on the home screen and info view - cant wait to test out the alpha / beta when its ready to drop. Top job as always

Here are some wishes and some ways to make it essential:I really like the simplicity and the aesthetics of the low horizontal menu with date and weather, which gradually rises as you navigate through the widgets:
- Responsive design (21/9 screens)
- I think that it is absolutely necessary to plan a good integration of the addon "Advanced Emulator Launcher" which currently remains the best alternative for advanced retrogaming thanks to the wide choice of emulators and personalized launchers. All the possibilities of AEL are not compulsory, but some views for each type of covers (poster, wide like N64 and SNES, and square like Dreamcast and PSX) with essential information like the number of player, genre, synopsis ...
- I also think that the vertical bars separating the information should be replaced by bullets to give more lightness to the skin. The "|", the "/" break the natural design of the skin.
- With a theme called Arctic Horizon, I would tend to integrate a horizontal menu like AZ2 into it. It's so much more aesthetically pleasing and more practical (personal opinion). Above all, it allows you to group more elements in a more restricted space giving more space to the different widgets, fanarts, photo slideshow ...
Elements don't come in all directions, it is beautiful, it is fluid... This is what I call natural navigation

Thanks guys!
@lightsout - Unfortunately v18+
It might still work on v17 with a few tweaks though.
@cawigab - Currently coding for Leia and will transition to Matrix when Matrix is officially released.

I've actually been experimenting with an icon only version and it works quite well:

My hope is that there will be some styling available for the side bar? Optional Kodi logo, background color, etc...

Kodi logo takes the primary colour of the gradient highlight. Theres an option to swap with a different icon.
Side panel takes the dialog bg colour - so dark dialogs has a dark side panel, light dialogs has a light side panel.
There's an option for background fanart, it just has the primary highlight colour overlay/vignette on top (eg aura style) - I had a screenshot of this look earlier in the thread.

Can the kodi icon be swapped with the profile picture of the user currently logged in?
