If it's down to thumbnail view more is better; the fanart is more or less obscured to a degree anyway. But to change the xml code, it would have to be done each time T! is updated and it looks like I'm doing that a dozen times, so I'm rife with making any changes that need a bunch of work each update. I tried this once with set cases and it just became an effort to keep up. The next step is to change hats and become a skinner, and seeing the effort a skinner has to put out.. I just don't have it in me, it's not like a large team effort and my respect for Ronie grows...

Have you not animated the fanart? I find with that enabled you get the general picture in the background, because it moves around and zooms in and out as you hover over a movie. Once you click it the same fanart is still displayed in the movie info background, and is much easier to see, so overall I think it works well together.

I really do like some of the other views as well, the layout of the info, titles and ability to really have the fanart pop out at you. I would prefer though a view like fanart, but with thumbnails rather than the current incarnation of text only, because you have to read the titles, guess what the title is referring to without having visual aids, or click on all those titles you don't recall exactly what they are, to have the cover and fanart display, only to realise that nope that's not the movie you were thinking of.

Out of the box the thumbnail view just seemed easier to navigate and find a movie with.....

I just had an idea there about a combination of fanart view, with the plot summary from coverflow view, combined with a layout of 4 x 4 smaller thumbs (a bit larger than the full list view thumbnails), in the fanart list window instead of the text. Now that would be a nice view - I'm gonna play around making that and see how it works out
