I tend to be somewhat picky when it comes to my cover art - my movies only display the title against a poster, no cast names, no dates, no catchphrases. And I prefer my TV-shows the same way. Now this is where it gets tricky.
I have enough of a hard time finding a general TV-show poster without the channel name, catchphrase etc. And finding good looking covers for each season!? Impossible. I hardly ever find matching covers for an entire series, and even if I do, their often splattered with text.
In old Aeon Nox I could work around this by choosing a viewtype that simply wouldn't display season covers. I find in 3.0 that all viewtypes display covers. The only exception is BigFan, where I get the choice of displaying ClearArt or a logo in the bottom-left corner instead of the season cover. But that viewtype simply doesn't work out, as it executes a weird sideways transition of the fanart into an identical fanart picture when I scroll through seasons.
So what do I want? Any of the following:
And on a side-note - When I hit the information button while browsing through, for instance, season 2 of a series, I don't want the information screen to display the season cover here either. I strictly want the series main cover art! Now, I may have simply forgotten how to do this, but wasn't this possible in earlier releases of this skin? If so, how? If not, please solve it.
The workaround for all my troubles would otherwise be some sort of script which replaced all season art in all my folders with some sort of default picture. Or I have to manually set all season art to something more appropriate. Haaaard work!

So what do I want? Any of the following:
- A new viewtype that doesn't display season covers.
- An option in any/all of the current viewtypes to disable season covers or replace them with ClearArt/logos.
