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

Can you please put the option for stage curtains back. I don't actually use the curtains but I replace the default background with a plain black one in shift view. It gives it a less cluttered look when scrolling through movies.
