Is there a way to set custom backgrounds for the Home screen, separate to the backgrounds used in the Movies, Videos, etc screens? What I mean is... If I go to the Skin settings, I can set a custom bg for Movies, but this sets the bg for both the Home screen (when the Movies button is hi-lighted), and also the bg for the Movies screen. I just want to set a custom bg that shows when the Movies button is hi-lighted (replacing the default pic of the cinema seats).
I see an option in the Skins settings called "Enable Custom BG's on Home" and that sounds like what I'm looking for, but then I can't find a way to actually specify the BG's I want to use... I also tried looking for the default BGs in the skin's folder, thinking that I could just replace them, but I wasn't able to find them.

To everyone who build this: Awesome skin!!
After Project Mayhem III I thought I would never use another skin, but this totally rocks!
Thanks!!

I just wanted to chime in to say how awesome this skin is. When I first saw it, I was really bummed, as there was (at that point) no 4:3 support. Since they've added it, it's been my default skin on the ol' XBMC.
The additions in this newest version make it all the sweeter.
One question, though: Is there a way to up the font size for the episode/movie info? I'm on a regular tube TV, and it's near impossible to read the episode descriptions. I poked around, the other day, and couldn't find a way to set the font size a little higher. If there's not currently a way to do that, could something like that be implemented?

I'd like to make a request, if I may...
For several of my movies and TV shows, I have multiple fan art images. Can the skin make the background cycle through these, or perhaps pick one randomly, while a movie or show is hi-lighted? The files would be named
moviename-fanart.jpg
moviename-fanart2.jpg
etc...

With regard to the image on the projector screen -
a) Is it possible to stop it showing the original screen when transitioning between shows?
b) Thought about adding it to the Epsiode level?
c) On my PC some appear quite jaggy but don't on the Xbox (probably not a skin issue I know just wondered whether anyone else is getting this)?
Thanks.

d) Is it meant to only work in Wide mode?
And one other thing while I remember -
The Watched/Unwatched icons don't appear in List mode but do in all the other ones, is this how it's meant to be?

This is already possible with the info button.

Not easily I think (or seamslessly)
No worries.

Will add it to our list of suggestions
By they way, I actually meant whether you'd consider it displaying the episode thumb instead of fanart at that level?
c) On my PC some appear quite jaggy but don't on the Xbox (probably not a skin issue I know just wondered whether anyone else is getting this)?
That's due to the rotation of the images. I'm thinking about adding a drame around the image to try and soften any jaggy images
That'd be great.
d) Is it meant to only work in Wide mode?
Currently yes, as it was first and foremost an experiment but as it seems to work we can think about implementing it throughout the tv views.
Thanks.

You're right it isn't shown for lists, mainly because we expected people would only use list view for files mode but I don't see any reason why it couldn't be added
Thanks again.
