The error with favorites appears after the skin starts, because this tab is missing from the skin's default settings.

The error with favorites appears after the skin starts, because this tab is missing from the skin's default settings.

This doesn't make much sense to me. The default skin loadout does not have the Favourites main menu item enabled by default but all calls to the old (deprecated) dialog have been removed from the skin.
I do see some leftover animation conditions that still have the old window name but the error message wouldn't affect any functionality.
What exactly is broken or is it just the error in the logs? If only the error, try the latest and see if it still appears.

This seems like a Kodi bug. Easily reproducible on every skin I tried, including Estuary.
Addons main menu item in Transparency! opens Program Add-ons and when using the parent folder to go back, it's an empty list that won't back out further, producing an error in the log.

Skin updated to remove service.skin.widgets as a requirement.
The only widget it is currently used for is the random add-ons one since I cannot seem to make that content path random.

Let me know of any issues.

erm ... couple of remarks.

1. The "Random item" option is only *one* of the types available in the service settings. There's also "Recommended" and "Recently Added". Presumably you know this, since you also trimmed those out of Home, some includes and the SkinSettings, so ....
   
2. The "Random" option works fine for me in @ronie 's final v11.09 release and also in the @konetzed / @Karellen / v11.1.2 patch/fix effort. Is the broken "Random" option collateral damage from something else in your repo that you fixed in the skin, or something specific to your setup ?
   

Removing/hiding/dereferencing the "Random" option wouldn't be a big deal for me, since I don't normally use it (or "Recommended") but I *do* use "Recently Added", so having the *option* to use (or not) the widget function entirely just chopped out wholesale doesn't seem ideal to me.

I'll wait for some clarification before I go and make another backup of my working system and install your Transparency again to test further.

Not sure I understand what you're saying...
All the other widgets (besides random add-ons) have been replaced using the skin engine instead of the service script.

EXCEPT the one and only random add-ons widget. That one still uses service.skin.widgets, I could not find a way to duplicate its functionality. If the service is installed, then it is still available. Since only that one widget needs it there is no need for the service to be a requirement.

I suggest to just test it out, nothing would be ruined by downgrading if there is an issue.

Aaah, I understand.  I only really looked at the new Favourites functionality from the update you pushed a few weeks ago - I didn't poke at the widgets.

I'll grab 'v11.99.01 - Omega' now.
