Add current time to Full Screen in Estuary skin

I have managed to add current time to VideoFullScreen in Estuary skin.
Script to do it is:

Code:
#!/bin/sh

echo "Deleting skin.estuary.edit"
rm -r /storage/.kodi/addons/skin.estuary.edit
cp -r /usr/share/kodi/addons/skin.estuary /storage/.kodi/addons/skin.estuary.edit

echo "Updating Addon.xml"
sed -i 's/id=\"skin.estuary\"/id=\"skin.estuary.edit\"/' /storage/.kodi/addons/skin.estuary.edit/addon.xml
sed -i 's/name=\"Estuary\"/name=\"Estuary (Edit)\"/' /storage/.kodi/addons/skin.estuary.edit/addon.xml
echo "Modified Addon.xml:"
cat /storage/.kodi/addons/skin.estuary.edit/addon.xml

echo "Creating temp TIME file"
rm /storage/.kodi/addons/skin.estuary.edit/sed.txt
touch /storage/.kodi/addons/skin.estuary.edit/sed.txt
echo "        <control type=\"label\" id=\"1\">"         >> /storage/.kodi/addons/skin.estuary.edit/sed.txt
echo "            <font>font_clock</font>"         >> /storage/.kodi/addons/skin.estuary.edit/sed.txt
echo "            <shadowcolor>black</shadowcolor>"     >> /storage/.kodi/addons/skin.estuary.edit/sed.txt
echo "            <top>0</top>"                 >> /storage/.kodi/addons/skin.estuary.edit/sed.txt
echo "            <align>right</align>"             >> /storage/.kodi/addons/skin.estuary.edit/sed.txt
echo "            <right>20</right>"             >> /storage/.kodi/addons/skin.estuary.edit/sed.txt
echo "            <height>200</height>"             >> /storage/.kodi/addons/skin.estuary.edit/sed.txt
echo "            <width>200</width>"             >> /storage/.kodi/addons/skin.estuary.edit/sed.txt
echo "            <label>\$INFO[System.Time]</label>"     >> /storage/.kodi/addons/skin.estuary.edit/sed.txt
echo "        </control>"                     >> /storage/.kodi/addons/skin.estuary.edit/sed.txt

echo "Adding the TIME to VideoFullScreen.xml"
sed -i '/<controls>/r /storage/.kodi/addons/skin.estuary.edit/sed.txt' /storage/.kodi/addons/skin.estuary.edit/xml/VideoFullScreen.xml

echo "Deleting temp TIME file"
rm /storage/.kodi/addons/skin.estuary.edit/sed.txt

echo
echo "Modified VideoFullScreen.xml:"
cat /storage/.kodi/addons/skin.estuary.edit/xml/VideoFullScreen.xml

echo "The skin should be reloaded now ! (Choose different skin and then select this one again)"

When it is done for the first time it is necessary to reboot KODI and enable new (copied) skin in Addons (Look and feel -> Skin)

Also, this is my kodi debug log.

As you can see from the Resolution line above, I have three monitors. The only way in which Kodi works fine is in the
Windowed mode. Otherwise, if it opens on a 1920x1080 display, it has 2560x1440 resolution; when I change it to its native value,
it will simultaneously modify the resolution also of the display which does have a 2560x1440 resolution. If I change back (via xrandr)
the resolution of the UHD monitor to its native value, the Kodi display goes all black and never shows correctly again, I have to kill it.
If instead I open it on the UHD monitor it works just fine, even in full screen mode, until I decide to move it to one of the other monitors
when it turns off simultaneoulsy all screens, and I need then to go to a console to restore the system.

If I change the Monitor from Default to one of the monitor names (HDMI-1, DVI-1, eDP1), again Kodi goes all black and never displays again.
Even after having killed kodi, (via pkill -9, no less), the initial monitor configuration is all messed up, and it takes me a good few minutes of xrandr
to bring it back to the status quo.

I do not know whether kodi is not playing nice with X11 or with KDE.

Two small problems after upgrade

I just upgraded my Windoze 7 system to Kodi 17.1 and (of course) loaded up the Confluence skin and played with the whole thing for just a minute or two. I immediately encountered two oddities, at least one of which seems to be quite certainly Confluen...
