i agree with you too, at least there's an option for user to choosing the size of fanart spotlight in settings

please thinking about it again, the fanart cutted very much, please decreased the size 15% at least

or can you tell us, to tweak about it on .xml file @cartman.dos ?

@Cartman If you dont intend on releasing any more Titan Bingie releases I too would like to know exactly what line in the code to edit to get rid of the scaling. I see what you are trying to do but we are limited to the fanart we can scrape where as Netflix has designers that can zoom in on the the exact size they want the fanart to be. Zooming in on the top right hand corner of the fanart works for some things but limits a lot of fanart. Thanks

great stuff, one thing i do noticed is that the Fanart in Bingie 1.03 has too much Zoom-In in Bingie view, here is 2 examples how movies's Fanart looks on 1.02 VS 1.03 (for some Movie's Fanarts this is critical) :

 Hey man, I'm aware of that 'scaling issue'. I do like it better now than it was, the scaling can be solved with a better diffuse img, need to check if I can find one, graphics is not my expertise.

That's the design I chose here. If you're mid-watching a tv show you should know what's it about, aren't you? for 'choosing' what to watch, just put a tvshow widget, not an episode (makes more sense...)

Can you post an image of your what these changes look like?     

Sure, here  are a few  : https://imgur.com/a/L3kc13G

here is one comparison (left side is 1.03 parameters) : https://imgur.com/a/nOofuXa

That's an layer of gradient for the image itself used to mask it. the issue with the current one is that the gradient is too 'soft' so it takes a lot of the border (left and bottom).
Anyone with graphics skill/better-than-me-search-google-abilities could find/make one. test it out by replacing the texture diffuse mask and send me to share, till now haven't found a better replacement.

It's really hard to differentiate between the two, to detect which one looks better.
