Now I can no longer set stage curtains from the side menu for movies, etc., I can only opt to enable or disable fanart in the general backgrounds menu?
I had nice fallbacks for individual categories, but with fanart disabled, we're back at the damn Gravity screen! I also cannot select rollback in the add-ons menu... How do I get the previous behaviour back, please?
Indeed backgrounds has been simplified. If you want the stage curtains to be default (you are a minority, i am sure) delete the default_bg.jpg and rename default_movies.jpg to default_bg.jpg
Seems you replied just as I was editing my post; replacing still won't give me the desired effect, as it's a skin-wide setting. Same with the disabling of fanarts. I want them enabled for music, disabled for movies. This can no longer be done, which is a shame. It's a needless over-simplification afaic. Is there a particular reason this was changed?
Also, AdvancedLauncher backgrounds are overruled by default-bg.
Hehe I forgot that I added an option to disable fanart. its in skin settings-->general--setup background images. That way you can still show your preferred background, which you would choose in the same screen per media window
