When I installed the latest MQ2 skin, which has the mod built into it, my fanart does not stretch to the screen, it looks as if it is not scaling, just the original size of the image. Any help?

Fanart Images usual should be high resolution pictures. So maybe your original size is too small. stretched pictures looks really ugly. Try to search another picture and browse for it manually.

This is a pretty sweet plugin. Is it possible to allow Extra Fanart? It would be cool if the background image could be different than the foreground (I'm referring to the fanart that is duplicated). It would be sweet if there could be a fanart image in back and then a gameplay/screenshot image in the front.

Thanx. A different image, or cycling extrafanart in the box was my first thought, i guess i'll have a look when my new notebook arrives. @ the moment i'm following the xbmc forum with my iphone Smile

I thought Night has a great modded skin outhere ...

Night Purity ... see here:

Thanks Butchbaby, I 've used Git for the purity mod, will give it a go but I like the original night much more personally and so far I have the advanced launcher functioning relatively OK but not completely i.e its not scraping info etc etc and neither can I see the option to do so in its settings. Will also try Phil65 AeonMod as that used to be my fave skin untill night . Take your time but Please Please if possible and at your own leisure MOD the night for Fanart & Info panels + incorporate the Studio flags as per HTPC Guy.
Advanced launcher otherwise is working well and I am playing away Metro 2033/ COD BlackOps from within xbmc .. yayy!!!

shaktoo · 2011-01-26, 18:31

WOW !! That Cirrus MOD is certainly looking cool !! Good one . Keep it up

You shouldn't be dissapointed. I love the Right List views since it showcases fanart so well and still provides nice sized box art info and flags. In my opinion it has everything in sight that I want and its laid out very well. My fav skin by far.

shaktoo · 2011-01-27, 03:41

Me Likes It !!! But Have sorted out Night Issues as well. What I did was transfer the Mod from phil65 to Night and it just worked.. info panel & plot . But yes the Cirrus is very good too .. I can see myself using it .. especially as it has games & comics & whatnot on Home screen . But just the Home screen itself is rather too bland.. too minimalistic.. like media Browser's Simplicity / pure Take on Xbmc's alaska mod.. its just missing that ZING which night has . But Thanks butchabay & Maalex..

You should probably ask in the MQ2 thread as it's skin dependent as far as I know.

I had to create my own for it as I didn't want to wait but I'm still tinkering with the layout.

Apologies for taking this off topic but just in response to the previous poster, should direct questions to the MQ2 thread.
