Since you were foolish enough to ask for suggestions.. Any chance you'd consider revealing a couple more options to let us control how fast the fanart slideshow runs?

musicvisualization.xml <fadetime>
and
defaults.xml <timeperimage>

I end up editing those files after every update, because I've always found the defaults to be too fast and abrupt. Of course maybe everybody else thinks they're perfect, in which case you can just ignore me.

If you follow the instruction in this post does that let you control the refresh without needing to edit the files? Besides the one edit you need to make in the instruction... If you are talking about the Music Artist Slideshow I do not believe it is controlled by the fanart script so I would still need to figure out how to implement choosing that unless this solves your problem of course...

I sure didn't intend for you to go researching this piddly little issue for me, thanks for that. To clarify things:

- I will try your suggestion but I don't have high hopes, since I am looking to change both the duration of each image and the actual dissolve time, not just one or the other.
- Artist Slideshow is exactly what is being altered by my edits. I don't normally use any other multi-image backgrounds but when I put one up for testing on a main menu screen it oddly wasn't affected. Not sure why.
- This is such a small thing, I really didn't expect much of a response unless you (or a dozen other users like me) said "wow that's been bugging me too good idea to have a setting for it". I really appreciate you looking into a solution for me but, really, I'm ok with it.

Panel widgets are looking spectacular btw.
