Hi!

I'm using this fantastic skin but there is something that buggs me and thats the
blank-poster images on various places.. I'd like to remove them and just have black.. or something custom. for example on the ".." line where i klick to go up one folder there is this blank-poster image with the very ugly text. If I could remove that I'd be very happy

regards
Max

Can you post a screenshot of the ugly one?

Can't speak for oscarmax, but I think this one is pretty ugly:

I actually quite like that one

Thats the one Im speaking of! It's ok having on movies when there is no poster/thumb but having them on the other folders and the lines you use for changing directory etc, is not matching the skin high graphical sense.

Not beeing a skinner I don't know how or if it's possible to change this in the xml or how it can be done!

Help would be grateful!

But that image should only be used for files - not folders?

This image is shown for example at the 2 dots " .. " which you use to go one step lower in the directory path! This is pretty much the same for all the diff views you can choose from! I would rather have no image for that. The same "no thumb image" is also visible for all the genres,years ect. I can show u with some screenshots.

The first image looks like the Wide view being used for movies? This is not a movie compatible view (it is being used based on the views you used in another skin) so if you select a different view it should avoid such issues.

The second image looks like the Info List view, is this correct? If you change to the List view it will show the image that should show up for the Parent Folder item (the arrow image). I'll have a look at the List Info view and see if it's possible to change it so that it does not use the No Thumb image but uses the correct Parent Folder image instead.

Finally, if the images being used for the Parent Folder aren't what you want to see then an alternative is to go into the Appearance Settings, then choose the View Options and select the Hide Parent Folder items option which means you won't see them at all.

Another way to approach this...

I prefer to use the setting 'disable parent folder items' and use the backspace key, or equivelant on remote.....etc

Feels weird for about five minutes, but it's so intuitive once you get used to it.

And it keeps everything more uniform and pretty i think.

Thats was a good suggestion, I tired it before but couldn't find the back.. I think that the backspace button was one of few I didn't try
And I agree - I keeps everytijng more uniform and pretty!

This thumbnail is also used in the TV shows for "All Seasons". Is there a way to turn off All seasons, or to change the thumbnail to just a default one for the show. Cheers. Great skin by the way.

Yep, have a look in the XBMC wiki (I think it's under advanced settings)
