My Amber Skinning Mod Story

I have been a happy XBMC/KODI user for many years. I have been perfectly happy with Confluence, but on a whim I tried Amber and really liked it. At some point, listening to music and watching the pretty colors, I anally noticed a few missing pixels at the bottom of the little arrow next to a cover image that points to the title of a song in visualization mode. "I wonder if that can be fixed?" I asked myself. Up to this point, I had never peered into the skin files. But after rummaging around — and Googling for the Texture Compiler/Decompiler — I found the pointer file and added the missing pixels.

And then I fell into the rabbit's hole.

For the past four weeks, I have spent all my free time adjusting this, that and the other tiny detail of Amber to suit my own particular tastes. This was all done with the Jarvis version, by the way. The most obvious change was turning Favorites into an Internet Radio Station repository:

I think I am kind of done, and now, must reacquaint myself with my family. On the plus side, the family and I now have a REALLY customized KODI experience. Big Grin On the minus side, I can never upgrade again as I cannot bear to lose all of that work. Confused

EDIT: Why is my image above a broken link?

Favourites Widget

Tearing / flickering after upgrade (16->17)

Hey guys!

After upgrading to Krypton from Jarvis (on Linux Mint 17.3), unfortunately, Kodi has become unusable. :-(

Right off the bat, in the menu and everywhere else, I'm experiencing severe tearing/flickering. It looks exactly like this guy on YouTube (so at least it'd seem I'm not the only one dealing with the issue):



I've tried toying around with everything I could think of: upgrading everything, switching graphics drivers, playing with settings (refresh rate, resolution, hardware acceleration, …) and nothing helps at all.

I can exclude many issues, since starting Mint (with Cinnamon) works fine without changing any setting; so hardware (especially cables, TV and stuff) and drivers seem to be doing their jobs. Also, everything worked fine before the upgrade.

One thing that does fix the issue: Changing "Display mode" from "Full screen" to "Windowed" (in System -> Settings -> System -> Display)—with the caveat that the system uses the top left quarter of the TV… :-s
(When switching back to full screen while playing a video, there is no tearing, "just" pretty bad flickering.)

Any ideas or hints?
Thanks,
Nicola
