When I set the background for my games it's only screenshots of ingame play. No nice backgrounds. Why is that?

It depend the scraper your are using for fanart images. Some provide screenshot, some provide background, some provide back covers, and some provide any kind of images. That depend of your taste and of the skin you are using. So, if you prefer to have backgrounds, use for example TheGameDB fanart scrapper.
How do I change my scraper? Can't believe you answered me haha wow.
I can't touch anything though right now so I can't look around because I clicked that Batch Download Artwork. XBMC is unresponsive, I'm only at 5%. This might take awhile. I saw you were using Cirrus in one post and decided to try it and I think this may be my new favorite skin. Didn't think anything could replace Aeon Nox.

Can't wait to put this on my main HTPC gaming machine. All the parts are coming this week! First time I'll ever have a SSD. Never had one before. Way too long haha.
To change scraper, you need to go into Advanced Launcher settings menu. For this, go into any Advanced Launcher context menu ("C" key) then select "Add-on settings" entry. Here you will have 3 tabs titled : Data & Infos, Thumbs and Fanarts. Each one correspond to a scraper, and for each one you can define a website source (Allgame, GameFAQs, MobyGames, TheGamesDB, etc...).
Ok I think I was using GameFAQs. 10 hours from now, when XBMC is done running that Batch Download Artwork thing then I guess I'll do that haha. I had no clue what it was when I clicked it. Oh well.
Still not even too clear what the difference is between using this vs what XBMC normally does haha. Guess I'll figure out soon.

Thanks it worked!!Laugh
Since the 2.0.10 update, advanced launcher has deleted all my entries... I was about 50% done with re-adding my stuff and it deleted it again.. it just reverts back to as if I just installed it (aka only empty Default folder).

And so , because you didn't know what you are doing, your are decided to do it on all your game collection instead of on just few games. Wink
