Kodi Paradise Skin Menu — The Kodi Paradise Skin Offers A Clean And Snappy Interface That's Quite Nice To Look At.

The Kodi Paradise skin will greet you with a nice beach background image. It evokes being on vacation at a paradise-like location. The light colors used as well as the color scheme (white over turquoise) feel a bit off at first. However, once you see the other features of the Kodi Paradise interface, this stops being an issue. The Kodi Paradise skin theme kinda grows on you. This skin is visually pleasant and can also be customized. In our Paradise Skin review we noticed that the ribbon menu can hold up to 6 custom items. These items can also have submenus. This skin is better used with a wireless HTPC keyboard for precision, although it fully supports mouse actions.

Kodi Paradise Skin: easy access to lots of visualizations.

In fact, if you use the Kodi Paradise skin and want to switch visualizations, the mouse will help you a lot. On some screens it is impossible to switch by using the arrow keys to bring a context menu. However, the context menu is always available from the top-left corner. It allows you to switch among several neat ways to organize your media.

Paradise Skin Review Shift — The Shift Visualization Features A Low Ribbon Made Up Of Square Logos, Ideal For Browsing Installed Addons.

The visualizations themselves are appealing and their use is very straightforward. Some of them feature media information along with images. These make it easy to identify the media from far away. Some other menu options from the Kodi Paradise skin are heavily visual. These feature little information, but still look good. Regarding widgets, there are several interesting ones you can use on the Kodi main menu items. These go from weather widgets to active addon lists. Addon list widgets can be browsed from the main menu to launch one of the installed Kodi addons. [Read: 10 best Kodi movies addons in 2015 for your HTPC]
