@Mr. V - My own preference is to provide all artwork types based on the widgetType property, primarily because it's impossible to know what artwork a given add-on does and doesn't support (for example, at the moment selecting Skin Helper Service through video add-ons will only offer a couple of art choices, though its widgets actually returns all of them. Whilst it may mean an extra entry on a FAQ (if the add-on you've selected doesn't support the art type you've chosen -- choose again), it means that the artwork types are never artificially limited.
Right now I believe the code is almost exactly identical to yours. It would be great to keep it so so that both Nox mods can benefit from your widget work. And if you're serious about helping out, just say the word and I'll give you push rights to the repo where we're doing the work, so you can take on any jobs that take your interest
@Rasten - To get that artwork, select 'Landscape' for the art option for the widget of your choice. The way the widgets work are completely different in the skinshortcuts branch, so to get a mixed movie widget, there would really have to be a library node, playlist or plugin that provided it. (TBH I don't know where it came from originally, so its not impossible this is already the case!)
@meowmoo - Do you have the Skin Helper Script installed? That provides random movie and music fanart background options. Music playlists should be right above the skin playlists in the list (unless Skin Shortcuts hasn't been able to load them)
If you don't have Skin Helper installed, you should* have an 'Enable default widgets' option at the top of the list when you go to choose a widget (rather than a 'Default widgets >' one) which will install it.
For the submenu issue, I believe switching the submenu style to Fixed List in the home window furniture customiser should fix this.
* I think this was only tested by me before the newest Skin Shortcuts was released, so stands a good chance of being broken
