By Default, Night and Night Purity (mod) both support HD Movies on the home menu.

Also 'The Carmichael' Big Grin...Those guys gave you the correct answer in that thread. Create a playlist of Movies with video resolution greater than 710...

Heres a "How to video" - In the video I choose 720, you're supposed to type in 710...

Yeah it seems as if Night works well for this but i really do like the way transparency handles the fan art view.

Ill have to keep poking around to see what will work best for me.

Answered in the other thread you started.

Create a smart playlist with resolution set to >719. Make it a favorite. Go to settings and create a custom menu labeled "HD Movies" or whatever you'd like using the playlist you added to favorites. In Settings, make sure to turn off "play playlists" so that it opens the playlist instead of playing it. In settings, you can even change the background for the custom menu item. What you're trying to do is really very easy.

Sadly iu have not gotten the play list to work as of yet but havent given it enough effort.
