Settings for the GUI are found here. Change the current skin, set language and region, change file listing options, set up a screen saver, etc.


Skin

Kodi can have various different appearances which are called skins. Selecting a different skin can drastically change the appearance of Kodi's buttons, windows, TV/movie information layout, and more. Kodi's default skin is called Confluence.

Ignore articles when sorting Allows for certain tokens to be ignored during sort operations. For example, with this option enabled, "The Simpsons" would simply be sorted as "Simpsons".

Tokens are configured through langinfo.xml or through <sorttokens> in advancedsettings.xml.

Allow file renaming and deletion Allows you to delete and rename files through the user interface, via the contextual menu (press C on a keyboard, for example, to bring up this menu).
Show "Add source" buttons in file lists Enables showing the add source button from root sections of the user interface.

Screensaver

Settings.appearance.screensaver.png
Setting Description Setting level
Screensaver mode Chooses the screensaver.
- Settings:
Allows control of such things as Screensaver dim level which controls how much the screen dims when the screensaver is set to dim mode and Slideshow folder, which determines what pictures to use when the screensaver is set to Slideshow mode.
- Preview
Allows you to preview the selected screensaver.
Screensaver time Allows you to set the amount of idle time required before displaying the screensaver.
Use visualization if playing audio With this option enabled, Kodi will start the selected visualization instead of displaying the screensaver if music is being played.

Conversely if you wish not to have a visualization while playing audio, uncheck this option and visualizations will be disabled.

Note: If a screensaver is active you will still get the screensaver after the preset time has elapsed for screensaver to kick in.

Use dim if paused during video playback With this option enabled, Kodi will dim the display when media is paused, Not valid for the "Dim" screensaver mode.
