This idea comes from the Centerstage team. (and already implemented in Mediaportal by plugin)
"Fan Art, is a downloadable iTunes Music store-esque page. It
is simply a skin and re-layout of the information page but
with some slight tweaks. As we have seen, the ability to press
and hold the Play button brings up all the metadata available
for an item on the Information Page. The way Fan Art works is
that default Information page is replaced by Fan Art if a Fan
Art page has been downloaded and installed for that item."
So people can make their own fanart (images/colors) for movies/music and upload it to the projectwebsite. (thetvdb.com?)
At the moment there already is a website containing over 700 images for music, films and series.
It seems the Centerstage and Mediaportal devs are discussing the implementation of this feature so there can be some sort of fanart-standard.
Maybe a good idea for xbmc to join the fun
centerstage topic about fanart
Example normal vs fanart:
