[Kodi 17 Krypton] Files view types

I've been using Kodi 17 beta 3 and I mainly use the "Files" section to play movies. I noticed the view types is stuck to the option WideList and is grayed out. In Kodi 16.x it was possible to change to different view types. I usually had this set to a ...

Kodi Hardware choice – help needed

Hi,

I've been reading on these forums as well as other blogs in search of a relatively good but cheap hardware (sub-200$)
I've read the sticky post on here too, and to be honest it confused me more than otherwise (well, it did help in realizing the limitations of different hardware)

So long story short, the only thing I really need is to be able to install and run latest Kodi builds and have no software limitation whatsoever
In term of hardware, I'd need support of 1080p (I don't care about 4k) and Bitstream Audio (it will be plugged into an audio receiver that support dts and all that jazz)

At first I was looking at cheap chinese android based boxes, but thanks to the sticky post, I realized it wasn't that much of a good idea
Looking at more legit ones, it seems either price is above budget, or hardware is crippled or something along those lines

So I started looking at Intel Compute Sticks. They come in either Win10 32bits or Linux Ubuntu 64bits flavour

First question is, are those Intel Stick any good for Kodi? I don't recall the sticky post talking about these
Second would be should I consider Linux or Win10 version? I would like to use some kind of BT remote (with keyboard)

Thanks for your help!

Why no Board Style (themes)?

I know that it is not a priority or anything but for a more aesthetic view, have you ever thought about providing one or more different board themes selectable in the user control panel? The Kodi forum looks like any other MyBB based forum, and would b...
