Try going to the MusicVisualisation.xml file.
That certainly has genre and star rating, plus the regular track/artist/album labels

Thank you. That's it.

I second this, liked keeping the stockish skin with the ability to see time left when paused. Is there a solution in kodi 21?

Thanks for the explanation and I understand. If I may take one chance at convincing you, since the OSD behavior did actually exist by default in Kodi in the past, it doesn't seem out of line to offer it as an optional configuration option in the skin for all the people who found it useful. Just a thought. Thanks again!
