Is it possible to do this? If specifics are needed, is it possible with Confluence? I've changed around the info panel so that it pops up from the bottom, and I've left space at the bottom for the horizontal row of movie posters (visible when in the Fanart view). But the video info window always appears in FRONT of these posters. I've searched for every possible name that the video info window goes by (movieinformation, WINDOW_VIDEO_INFO, 12003, 2003, DialogVideoInfo.xml) in all the relevant skin xmls. I've also gone through some of the source code. I can't find ANYTHING related to the info window's draw order anywhere. How can this be achieved?

I think the trouble he's having is trying to get the info screen to slide up behind the posters but because it's a dialog it will always be in front of the base window.

So you're saying I should make the DialogVideoInfo.xml completely empty, no image, no text, nothing? And then everything that would normally be there, move it to MyVideoNav.xml and make it only appear when the empty video information window is there right? Would everything still work fine? Eg. would the window still slide in and slide out, everything is still selectable using the same values, etc.

Alright, this worked perfectly! There's just one problem - the animations. Because it is no longer operating in the video info xml window, I can no longer tell it to display the slide in/slide out animation on windowopen/windowclose. For windowopen, this is easily fixed by telling it to slide when the info window becomes visible. But how do you make it slide out right when you hit the button? Making it go when the window is hidden delays the animation until after the information has disapeared.
EDIT: Actually, you know what? Never mind, wasn't thinking. Just to see if it worked I only tried copying over the background image. I realized that the problem is the window isn't actually hidden 'til the info is gone, so after I move all the info over to the other xml file, it will instantly become hidden upon hitting the button, thus fixing my problem (I think).
Quick question though haven't tried it so not sure if it works, but there's something else I'd like to do. I want the movie poster that is currently selected (as in before you hit it to bring up the info box) to, when chosen, slide/zoom/rotate to the info bar. I know how to this, but when setting these values, it isn't "move to this point on the screen", it's "move these values in this direction". Would this be a problem once you get to the begining/end of the list where the highlighted item isn't directly in the middle? As in would it be no longer moving to the right point, since all the other ones or set to the right position as if they were in the middle? Sorry if this doesn't make much sense, I could explain better if needed.

Don't forget you'll have to add the selected poster to the dialogfullscreeninfo.xml so it will change when you choose a different video that the actor was in when using the cast list.
