I seem to have pretty much got the confluence skin showing the correct artwork for the playing item or for the item currently in focus

Ryans pointer to Player.Art was the bit that made it fairly straight forward

Although it took most of the afternoon to fathom out the skins work

I have edited the file ViewsMusicLibrary.xml as can be seen at this pastebin

Basically I have duplicated several sections setting visibility on or off depending on focus

eg for the album art if in focus use $INFO[ListItem.Icon] or if not in focus use $INFO[Player.Art(thumb)]

<control type="image">
<visible>Control.HasFocus(506)</visible>
<left>10</left>
<top>0</top>
<width>290</width>
<height>290</height>
<aspectratio aligny="bottom">keep</aspectratio>
<fadetime>IconCrossfadeTime</fadetime>
<texture background="true">$INFO[ListItem.Icon]</texture>
<bordertexture border="8">ThumbShadow.png</bordertexture>
<bordersize>8</bordersize>
</control>
<control type="image">
<visible>!Control.HasFocus(506)</visible>
<left>10</left>
<top>0</top>
<width>290</width>
<height>290</height>
<aspectratio aligny="bottom">keep</aspectratio>
<fadetime>IconCrossfadeTime</fadetime>
<texture background="true">$INFO[Player.Art(thumb)]</texture>
<bordertexture border="8">ThumbShadow.png</bordertexture>
<bordersize>8</bordersize>
</control>

As this is the first skin edit I have done I have no idea whether this is best or most efficient way to do it, but it does seem to work

when the music is playing you must move the cursor off the list area so that focus is lost which then allows the art work for the currently playing track to be displayed, if you want to see the artwork for another track simply move the cursor to get focus

comments and observations would be most helpful
