1. The language is here and there in English and not in German (Example: Movies - In Progress Movies = Begonnene Filme / Sidebar - Recently added = Kürzlich hinzugefügt)

Something I'd like to see in the skin:

From the home screen, you can already tap left to bring up some view options. Could you add the Action for Update Library in that section? Currently you have to open Movies or TV Shows, then tap left to bring up the options and scroll down to Update Library. Then if you want to see what was just added, you have to press menu and go back to where you originally were. It just would make more sense to me to have Update Library and Recently Added items on the same screen.

Also move Update Library to the top of the list instead of below everything else. That action would be used more than view options which you'd typically set once and then leave.

Would that be difficult to include?

On iPad, the Home screen does not scale correctly.
The thumbnails for recently added and in progress leave an empty third row at the bottom.
So, there is a room for, e.g., unwatched random movies or bigger thumbnails!

P.S. I wanted to share a screenshot here but could find a way to do so; could you guide me here please?

Here's what we came up with.

That looks fantastic! Nice and clean!

skin.opacity: glow only if we are selected
skin.opacity: only show 4 albums
skin.opacity: update dark blue theme
skin.opacity: hide fanart if user selected it
skin.opacity: add custom background selector
fixed crash on empty videoInfoTag
fixed backing out of Movies/TV Shows/Music
backport: EDL commercial break fixes (iOS/tvOS only, will get picked up in next update)

I'm finally seeing these fixes in the new build for today.
LOVE the revised Dark Blue and the transparent sidebar. Glow works as expected too.

- Recently Added and In Progress have a colon after them but they are the skin color. Was that intentional? I could barely see it in the dark blue.
- With fanart disabled, can you make it use the skin background instead of plain black in the main list area? Maybe use the same transparency that was there before when fanart was disabled?

- changed to same colour as the rest
- this is a bit difficult, enabling background(or custom background) sets it for all windows and not only for media views. Will have to investigate how it can be done just for media listings and not for settings.

interesting, in all the years of using XBMC -> Kodi -> MrMC I have never used poster view(or any thumbnail view).. go figure

I can't stand poster view. But, choices are good I suppose.

I've only ever used thumbnail views for movies view. My favourite was Amber "Big Panel" view with fanart option. Looks like you guys have created a really good looking media view here
