I've looked through your view and includes variable xml's for Titan but can't seem to get the same result. I have looked on your skin helper settings on GitHub, and read that you need to enable the extended artwork scraper using Skin.SetBool(SkinHelper.EnableExtendedArt). How can I do this, and how can get the artwork retrieved to show in the view I am trying to make. I am a total novice, but I am picking things up slowly.... Any help would be appreciated. Thanks
All skinhelper features are enabled with skin settings. So, to use a fteaure, you must enable it.
For the artwork lookups you indeed use Skin.SetBool(SkinHelper.EnableExtendedArt)
After that, you can retrieve the artwork (outside any itemlayout/focusedlayout of containers) with for example:
$INFO[Window(Home).Property(SkinHelper.ListItem.Art.ClearLogo)]
You will first have to read the skinning manual to better learn about skin settings and infolabels before you go advanced with implementing something like this.
