instead of the default tv show fanart image.

- Extrafanart

instead of the static fanart image, while browsing your collection.

if you enable this feature in Skin Settings, these images are used in the fanart/item/icons views.

What is Transparency!? Short answer: a fanart skin. The main goal of Transparency! is showing your fanart, fullscreen, in all of the views, all of the time.
Besides this, it also tries to support every neat new feature xbmc has to offer. To save everyone a lot of time and trouble hacking the xml code themselves,
all of these new features are already included in the skin, pre-configured and enabled by default (wherever possible).

depends on whether you want to keep on using the development version of T! or the stable add-on version.

development of this skin continues in svn, so for the latest and greatest you can keep on using it.

the add-on version will only be updated about once a month (max.)

stable v3.10 = T! svn r557.
not sure what revision you're using, so check here for a list of latest updates:

*EDIT*

Two issues so far:

1) CDart is great! So much better than a screencap of the show when paused. However, when you click "Get Logo" on the info screen, it pops up BEHIND the info screen, so you can't really see which image you're choosing.

2) Get Logo doesn't seem to work for any show... I'm sure Firefly or The Office are popular enough that if they're there, they'd download, but every show I try says "no logo found"

Hello!
Quite a nice skin, i would say!

The only thing I really miss from the previous version (2.10) is the transparent "DVD-box" image (yes, those new DVD and Blu-Ray boxes are cool, but I kinda like the old one much more). Is there any way I could get the "transparent box" back?

Tnanks in advance!

1. Didn't test myself Ronie but you might need <zorder>3</zorder> at top of DialogSelect.xml

2. The logo site has been down, should be fixed relativity soon...

Ronie,
Wow, just wow! It has been a while since I've used transparency and this new version is just so polished and customizable. Great job!

One small thing I noticed is audio channel flagging isn't working with DTS-ES audio on video files (and I'm assuming any other 6.1 channel DTS audio).

Oh yeah...I already put the DVD/Bluray artwork on thousands of movies, so clear case is better than something fancy.

1. Don't know how I missed the thread on that before posting... fixed now!

2. Okay, cool! Smile

This is great news, thank you very much! Transparency! is by far my favourite XBMC skin and I was really hoping to see a stable new version before Dharma gets out of Beta, so this thread makes me very very happy indeed Smile

you must uninstall it first.
