 I modified the default skin ''Estuary'' so I can customize the main menu items. To do this in a maintainable way I first copied the add-on folder from a Kodi Windows installation and then made the necessary changes. Menu entry names, to which favorite if any it points to, and the Menu entry icon are defined in the language strings which makes it easier to modify.
   - Install [[https://kodi.tv/download/|Kodi]] on a Windows machine and copy folder ''C:\Program Files\Kodi\addons\skin.estuary'' to a new location
-  - Modify file ''addon.xml'' 2<sup>nd</sup> line (bco is my short name, v21 indicates the version of Kodi)<file><addon id="skin.estuary.bco.v21" version="4.0.0" name="Estuary bco" provider-name="phil65, Ichabod Fletchman, bco"></file>Rename folder ''skin.estuary'' to the id you changed in ''addon.xml'', in this example ''skin.estuary.bco.v21''
+  - Modify file ''addon.xml'' 2<sup>nd</sup> line (bco is my short name)<file><addon id="skin.estuary.bco" version="4.0.0" name="Estuary bco" provider-name="phil65, Ichabod Fletchman, bco"></file>Rename folder ''skin.estuary'' to the id you changed in ''addon.xml'', in this example ''skin.estuary.bco''. Do not include the version of Kodi in the folder name, so you can update later when a new Kodi version will become available.
   - Modify file ''xml/Home.xml'' where you make the changes for the menu entries. To do this we substitute a menu item we will not use in our Kodi installation, for example ''Games'' or ''Music videos''
     - Find ''31162'' which is the language message id of the games widget and comment out the surrounding ''<include content="ImageWidget">'' (enclose between <nowiki><!-- and --></nowiki>)

 ==== Favorite IDs ====
-For my Kodi clients I have added the favorite IDs in a table below which makes it easier to upgrade Estuary for a new version of Kodi. Find the IDs by opening file ''Settings --> File manager --> Profile directory --> favorites.xml''. Sometimes you cannot read the numbers on an entry, in which case select ''favorites.xml'' then use the context menu and select copy which copies the file to the path selected on the right hand side.
