It's been mentioned before (see below) but I've found a nice little alternative.
Anyway, this came about because I couldn't decide whether I liked using wide icons or posters in List mode when I realised the space would fit a 16:9 image perfectly. So I loaded the fanart as the thumb and it looked amazing (as long as thumbsize is 1024), so I take back my previous comment as I think this works much better and just goes to show what an amazing skin this is. Judge for yourself.

My question/suggestion:
Is fanart meant to appear upon hover when viewing TV shows (in any view mode). I have fan art that works fine once I select a show to view it's seasons, but on hovering the show title it doesn't show. The preview for the "wide" (with Dexter in the background) indicates that it should do.
It would be good if it did, as it's more consistent with the movies which does this.
