Here is a quick video navigating in the menus : Video.
So far, I haven't been able to reproduce this bulk change in background. In terms of look&feel, I have only my Plex libraries on the main screen, and I display only a single background. If I set up the background for each library, it works but there is a fade in/fade out when you move from one library to another (you can see it in the video). It probably helps transitioning from a fan art to another, but on a single background it looks "weird". In the previous release (from last year), I could set up a main background and the fade in/out did not exist.
In a movie library, here is the view type : Panel - Fullscreen - large poster size. By switching size option, it happens on all configuration except for the small ones where the frame is fine.
See image 1 & Image 2
So far, I am seeing this behavior only on Movie type library, TV shows libraries are being displayed fine in all sizes. If I switch to full HD (1080p) on TV, no changes.
Ok, I will try this soon, each time I try the "add to custom home", it seems to add the selected movie and not section where I am. I probably need to play around a little to make it work. I will let you know.
The widget part : "On Deck" is still problematic (long loading time and once it is loaded, it doesn't refresh), but this is not skin related I guess.
Quote:Hint:
You can bulk change most home menu options via "Settings --> Home Menu --> Section (e.g. General)", so if you want to have a custom image for all "General" home items you can do something like this :
Settings --> Home menu --> General --> Background --> Custom image

Quote:Yes, the screen is in 4K resolution and 16:9.
Your Resolution (I assume 4k) and Aspect ratio (16:9?)
Is your viewtype image size set to something different? (Options --> Appearance --> Small/Medium/Large/Huge)
Does it only affect poster images or do you also have this issue with thumbs? (e.g. panel episode view)
Are widget poster images fine? So, this only happens when browsing the library?
If it's possible, a screenshot would be very helpful (via PM if you want)

Quote:I think you are looking for the "custom home" feature :
Select your playlist (e.g. Library --> Playlists or directly from a widget), Open context menu --> Add to custom home --> Add to Custom #1 / Home Menu
Select your playlist again, Open context menu --> Add to custom home --> Set Custom #1 Widget #1 to "dynamic" --> Select Item #1 to save your playlist
You should now have a new home menu item and a widget which shows the content of your playlist.
