I'm sorry but I'm without time, I don't to upload everything people send me otherwise it would be just another site with a bunch of backdrops. And I actually take care to edit and crop some of them to make them look better I also try to compress the big ones without loosing quality. But like I said, I don't have time for this right now...

I have all the ones you posted here on my HDD though, for whenever I get the change, to take a look at them, but not at the moment, sorry...

Thx but I wasn't talking about you... Afer all, I already have the ones I sent, so no hurry. Wink

I'm asking for more people to share their generic backdrops. I'm pretty sure other people also have them...

I will soon upload more generic backdrops.

And also thx for maintaining that great repository!

Oh, ok...

Maybe a proper service than my SkyDrive account would be better so anyone could upload? Of course, it wouldn't have any quality/size control and I'm trying to do just that in "my repository".

This topic has been pretty slow lately...
As a amateur photographer I use a lot of the "Pictures " functionality. So here are the backdrops I have (mostly photos of cameras and lens):

FYI; htbackdrops.com does host generic backdrops though they are currently not categorized, checkout:
http://www.htbackdrops.com/categories.ph...9963bdeffb

I suggest that you submit a feature request to nuzecast (htbackdrops.com admin) to setup categories under the generic section, that way they will all be located in one place, at a community that contribute backdrops for most areas.

I've reorganized the generic section as requested.

http://www.htbackdrops.com/categories.php?cat_id=6

Let me know if I've missed anything or if you feel any further changes need to be made.

Cool, thanks! I guess the next request would be to categorize the weather category as well for weather condition specific FanArt, checkout:
http://forum.xbmc.org/showthread.php?tid=40709
and this Weather FanArt Pack (Backdrops with different weather conditions, about 800 images here):

Since I don't use weather fanart can someone let me know the sub-categories that would be needed for the weather category?

That's a very nice pack, I think that's the one I'm using... The only problem though, is that there are many pictures that don't quite fit the category they are in or they could be interpreted as multiple weather conditions.

When I get the chance, I intend to look through them all and delete/move the ones that don't fit to proper places.

For instance, it happened a few times that the weather icon had a few clouds with a sun behind, still, the picture displayed in the background had a clear sky, not right Tongue

Other than that (and the fact that not all of them are 1080p, I'm very picky) it's a great work and great pack, congrats to whoever did it Smile
