Use genre icon resource addon inside container? - jurialmunkey - 2015-10-12

I would like to use the new Jarvis image resource addons to display genre icons. However, as we cannot use Skin.String or Window.Property inside a container, there is no possible way (that I know of) to be able to display the genre icons *inside* a container. We can do it outside the container, but not inside.

It really seems like there should be a way to do this -- a wall type view really is one of the best ways to display genres using icons.
Unless there is something obvious I'm missing?

+1 for this. I worked around it by using hardcoded paths but this is not a flexible solution.

Yeah, it would make skinning a lot easier and more flexible for me too Smile
