I know you are still working on this so I wont post a modded xml file, but please consider modifying your 'Thumbnail' view in movies & tv shows to allow for different size of poster size.The Thumbnail view is supposed to have an option to disable "show labels" (you can see it in the view options for thumbnail). I just haven't got around to adding it in yet. That will remove the labels to make room for an extra row. I use the selection rectangle instead of zooming the poster because it looks weird if you have the back panel or the text labels enabled and I'm trying to maintain some degree of consistency to my design rules between views.
For example, with a little hacking I am using a Thumbnail view screen like this:
I also changed zoom animation to start at 100 and end at 150 which I think looks better but obviously just personal opinion
Also if you want bigger posters, why not just use the wall view? You can always disable the info pop-up in the view options if you prefer no info like the thumbs view.

I might have a play around with using just a dark panel, but even if I like it, it will be a while off because of the work involved in making the change (for instance, have to go through and make conditions for every piece of text in every widget to use light colours -- weather is the biggest pain).
By the way. Can't figure out how to see my latest added movies in the main menu, i know it has worked before, but now it's just blank. Tried to uninstall reinstall skin widget. Tried to reboot fomputer. Tried to enable/disable everything in skin widget settings with no success. Strangely the widget stuff works in Aeon MQ5.
Re: widgets. Have you tried actually re-adding the relevant widget to the home screen from "manage custom home items" in the skin settings? Also, do other widgets like spotlight work or are they all blank?

I'm using gotham alpha9.Go to TV Show Next Aired Settings (Addons > Programs) and make sure "Show all tv shows for home screen" is enabled and the press ok. You might have to restart xbmc.
Thanks
Also, I recommend moving to the nightlies or at least a newer alpha (latest monthly was 11). Its my understanding that Gotham is pretty much in feature freeze now so the nightlies should just be bug-fixes from here on in.
