Really liking this skin, but I would like to customize the images used for the icons and backgrounds - the cinema themed images are nice, but not really indicative of the media content. I have located the background images under /addons/skin.back-row/images and replaced these successfully, however I have been unable to locate the associated icon images. So I have a couple of questions:
* Can the icons be customized?
* Can the background images be overridden rather than replaced in case I update the skin later?
* How do I enable the iconless (text-only) alternate home screen menu shown in the last image of post #3?
I have googled for answers to these questions and not managed to come up with anything useful. I suspect there may be some tips within this very thread, but it is now over 40 pages long :o

I like this skin very much, but I seem to have a problem with the watched overlay. The watched overlay always disapears after a restart of XBMC. I then can get it back when I swith to another skin and back to Back Row, but that doesn't seem normal behaviour and I have never seen this behaviour in other skins.
I use the passion svn version and have even tried deleting the .xbmc folder and starting fresh, but even that doesn't fix it.

Hi flipje
Have you got Add-On auto updating turned on? These types of strange problems are often due to the skin updating whilst it's currently in use. It seems to mess up the images. You could try turning off auto updating for the Add-Ons and see if it stops happening. Or you could try manually installing the skin.

Sharpe,
Just downloaded the latest from your sig-link. I love the busy circle.
One bug I noticed. When I'm watching a MKV or bluray.ISO (I didn't try a dvd) and try to make a bookmark the "create bookmark" and "clear bookmark" buttons are invisible. I can use the remote to move where I know the button is and it works, but neither the button, label or highlight are visible. I suspect the button got pushed behind everything if you know what I mean but I don't know how to check that out.

Thanks for spotting that - there was some old xml in there that needed re-doing to make the buttons display properly. Try it now.
