- I find myself wishing to be able to control the darkening/opacity of the background fanart in a lot of views. It's nice to see fanart in the smaller inset windows, but the big background (again, I have lots of 1080p backdrops for every movie, tv show, etc) are so dark & muddy that they often just look like murky shadows. If there was a slider to control this opacity or darkening or both, that would be awesome.

I don't think I know how to do that, or if it is even possible. You can, however easily change this in the colors\defaults.xml file. Just go to line 12 of that file and look for the following code:

Code:

<color name="FanartDiffuse">32FFFFFF</color>

and change the first two numbers (32) to a higher hexidecimal number such as "50" or "60". If you go all the way up to "FF" then the fanart will be clear with no diffuse, but on the other hand, any text will probably be very difficult to see/read.
