The posters in almost all the views have a texture called black.png placed behind them. That's why although you not have a transparent poster, it doesn't appear as it should.
If you remove this texture for the view you are using you should get what you want.
Be careful though because that png is used a lot for various different effects in the skin.

Note that in investigating this, I have found that if you specify a custom path to the genre icons, they won't show in several of the views. Basically, if the view tries to show the genre icon within a list container (such as in panel or multiplex) it doesn't work and you get the fallback texture (defaultvideo). Seems to be a Kodi limitation. So put your custom genre art into the extrapack location or edit the path in the xml file accordingly if you want it working in all views. There also seems to be a specific problem in panel view when Container.Content(genre) is true. I am looking into this. Note this is mainly from working with Isengard but it seems like Helix and I assume Gotham work the same.
Samu-rai thanks for the hint about the "bordertexture". That's easy to miss as I (at least) tend to blow through all the background/shadow/etc image controls looking for the "meat".

Hi GK, I ended up not altering the xml file you mentioned just renamed the black.png file - all seems ok so far.
I've now moved on to music genres; they're showing up in Right List, poster, wide view etc... but not in Low List - any ideas how to get them to show up?
Many thanks

Hey guys, just a quick (hopefully easy) question.
A buddy of mine is using noxMQ5 and has various movie sets/collections. (Eg, REC 1,2,3, 007 collection) etc..
He has a query about collection discart. Basically the disc arts pop out (when you hover over a particular film), but if I'm correct; the entire set of discs should pop out horizontally (list view) if you are one level up (ie you are hovering over menu entry 'REC COLLECTION' in the Movies library.
Is that right? Because that's what he wants and it's not happening. Is there a specific option for this? (I would test for him but I only use quite a basic kodi setup now with confluence). (Slow computer!)

Is it possible for me to setup a main menu item that simply opens its submenu when clicked? This would make it essentially the same as pressing down.
Thanks!
