Hi, I have posted this over at the aeon skin forum but it was determined its probably xbmc's responsibility.
Its relating to the scaling of posters (and perhaps other image data) in xbmc. It seems to me as if there is either a very bad scaling algorithm used to scale poster data, or perhaps something to do with my graphics card scaling....
I try to keep my fanart and posters as high resolution as possible. Below you can see a 1000 x 1500 pixel poster for the movie "Quantum Of Solace". The information dialog of aeon65 seems to show a blurry low resolution version of this poster. Its definitely reading my local copy as when I draw a few scribbles and reload, I can see its definitely reading my local copy.
See the difference below between this 1000 x 1500 px image resized to 720 x 1080 in photoshop versus the same image resized to the same size in the information dialog in aeon65.... Huge difference. I always had a feeling the image seen in xbmc didn't quite look as good as the same image when opened in microsoft paint..
Warning: Image below is ~2mb as its a png.
I'll create as an xbmc bug / feature request if no objections..
