Is he? Didn't read that from his posts, sorry.
He said he was using vanilla Confluence and other modded Confluence skins, of course it is possible that yours was one of them.

Ok, so now i finally got the genre icons displayed in confluence mod (showcase view) !
2 additional questions:
1/ what if i want to edit the movie genres myself (i saw in some screenshots and also from the fanart published that there were many more genres than those available by default - i'm not talking about editing the movie metadata, but rather the list of genres available by default in the xbmc interface).
Is there a way to edit those in library mode (modify the existing or adding custom genres) ? Or do i need to work with smart playlists ? (i started to work with a folder structure by genres, but it is not recognized in library mode, only in file mode)
2/ is there a way in this skin to have the genre icons displayed in another view (like thumbnails --> I'm assuming that adding .tbn files to the moviegenre folder is not enough...)
thx again

or attempting to reply on my own question 1/ = are the movie genres displayed in XBMC built upon the genres from the movies metadata and captured as much in the library?
if this is the case, then i would be able by editing the .nfo files to reference only the genres that i would like to appear in the interface
question 2 would remain tough: adapting the genre icons in another view

You need to edit ViewVideoLibrary.xml
The destination of the artwork files will be the same...
You need a new Content(Genre) and focusedlayout for it...
Ping me if you have troubles...

Sorry to join late. I've been wanting to have fanart control at genre level. If I understand this thread correctly it has to be the mad-max confluence mod/the showcase view/the videoshowcase.xml placed in the 720p folder? I am using confluence unmodded and already have genre folders and I want them to stay as they are. I quite like thumbnail view and want that to stay also. Can I assume I am wasting my time following this thread? I mean how hard can it be? I had a 5 year old DVICO m6500 that could display fanart at genre level, in fact at any level

The link I provided is from my MOD, yes...
But it wasn't meant to be ready to use...
It shows the way how YOU can make the needed changes for default confluence...
You just need to take a look at the code!!!
