Based on requests from Waffa and Radikaltimes I have been looking at updating the skin so that it is possible for users to download Genre Poster Packs (such as those in the Movie Genre Posters thread) and have them picked up by the skin.
I have now added some code for the next release which will (hopefully) implement what has been requested.
To get it working you need to download the poster pack (or have your own images you wish to use) then place the resulting image files in a new genres folder within the skin/MiniMeeda/media folder.
Make sure that the image files have a .png extension (even if the actual file is a jpg or gif etc) and make sure that the name of the file is the same as the genre you want it to appear for. (Eg Action.png will appear for the Action genre)
Then when you browse the genres list you should then see the relevant thumbs.
As far as I can see this should work for both videos and music although I may change this if there are genres that appear in both (would mean having a videogenres and musicgenres folders).
Anyway you'll get a chance to play with it when the skin is next released (sometime over the next few days I hope).
