Switching my response to this thread since it's about issues and not requests...
That explains my problem... I misread it as "use banners instead of posters," totally my fault! Sorry about that.
I agree and understand; I just think it would look better in the context of the skin if every poster had, say, a 2 pixel black border or something like that. Keeps it plain and still fits everything together.
I'm stupid and finally found the option to set the weather fanart. I'd suggest moving/mirroring the options from the menu from pressing up IN the weather panel to BOTH pressing up with the icon highlighted (to match behavior for other icons) AND the Weather Settings menu itself. Those would be the first two places new users would look, I think.
Two small nitpicks on things I noticed today:
1. The submenu above the Home/System menus doesn't fit exactly onto the screen -- it seems like by trimming each button by 5 pixels or so, you could make it so that all of the settings fit in perfectly. It just bothers me a little bit that the entire submenu scrolls to show the last few pixels of the last option.
2. This banner view bothers me a little bit.
It really feels like the banner should be in the horizontal slot instead of the fanart; there doesn't seem to be much point to the fanart being in the horizontal slot since it's already there in the background. On top of that, when the banner is on the side like that, the fact that it's slightly off the vertical center makes it look a bit strange to me... so my suggestion would be to move the banner into the horizontal slot.
