if there is enough interest for it on iOS we will look into it
I’m not interested in Black Glass Nova, neither on iOS nor on tvOS, sorry, no offense :)

I have strong interest in a new IOS skin (and hope I am not the only one). Nebula would be better than Black Glass Nova if this is planned anyways.

I installed Nebula and Titan on Kodi on my iPad Pro 10".
Both are still too "touchy", i.e. very tricky in handling the menus and options, navigating back and forth while Titan is a tad better (fine overall but I could get out of the Netflix Movie View).
Probably, both skins needs some adjustment to iOS.

any recommendation on a good skin for IOS other than estouchy? i haven’t used it, but nebula looks nice. but if not working well, that’s obviously not helpful.

btw, how did you install them? developer account and loading kodi?

yes, I side-loaded Kodi and installed them. As I mentioned before, they need to be further tuned to iOS device.

I also installed Plex for Kodi add-on on my iPad. It works but also needs to be optimised for touch UI (works fine on Kodi tvOS).

BTW: for those interested in installing Titan on iPad, please avoid (or disable) the Netflix media view since once set, there seems no way (menus) to get out of there.

If MrMC is considering only one-skin-for-all then it is Titan; but the big "forest" of customisations must first lose many "trees" before an average user can find his way through.

I enjoy new skins as much as everyone else, but in the end, I usually refer back to the original. It's much faster, and just runs better for me. Instead of adding more skins that take more memory (scarce on the AFTV) why not add edits to the original skin providing more options/layouts?
I really enjoy using MrMc more than Kodi, since it just works right away, no annoying add-on updates to worry about, it just works, plain and simple. At least for my AFTV. Thanks for the hard work, and keeping it simple. Please don't muddy it up with tons of skin options that most will never use and memory is used up. Clean and simple, it's what made MrMc successful to begin with.

It's indeed important not to end up with 5+ skins. I see 3 or max 5 as a good number that provides choice. MrMC, Nebula and maybe Titan could be a great line-up, but there will always be different tastes, so it may need to be 4 or 5 (but not 8 or 10).

If it were up to me, I would take only one MrMC skin, a Plex add-on and an Emby add-on.
