Hey, quick question. Is it possible to set one global fanart for an item list? For example, if I wanted all of my windows games to automatically use a the same fanart and then all my dos games to use a different fanart image file and I set them up in two separate lists, is this possible? I know you can just populate the fanart directory with duplicates of the same fanart with different names, but that's kind of redundant if all you need is one background, plus doing that causes the fanart image to fade for a brief second each time you switch an item in the list where as using the same fanart doesn't. The only way I have been able to do this so far is to manually select a local image for each item in the list, which is time consuming. If not, it might be a cool thing to add to advanced launcher in the future if it wouldn't be too difficult.
Another nice thing to add would be to allow us to have a background image separate from fanart so that the image that displays in the fanart box is not the same as the fanart background. Maybe this particular issue is related to the skin rather than Advanced Launcher though, but could possibly be easier to solve globally by making the background image option different from the fanart rather than asking each skin provider to change the skins.
Like I said though, I know almost nothing about programming so if it's a difficult task I can see why you wouldn't add it.
