I managed to set a genre fanart folder, which looks great browsing genres.

However, in list view, the poster is a generic white folder.  That's strange because I can see in the skin's "extras" folder there are both "colored" and "default" "moviegenres" posters already there.  So how can you get them to show?

BTW, as for the genre fanart, in the skin settings, you can specify the path to a folder of images. however, the image collections from the kodi repos are installed in ~/.kodi/addons/ – which is a location that you can't just browse to AFAIK. I had to manually relocate those images. Was there a better way?  ×

this skin would need support in *.(estuary) View_52_IconWall.xml

Thank you, for some reason these posters just appeared, perhaps after several reboots trying to address other problems.  ×

Do the files need to be a certain size to work? Also, do they appear immediately or do you have to update the cache somehow?
