No dice. I still have the default backdrop. Thanks for trying.

I tried all that and I still do not see the views+ txt descriptions as shown in your screen shots.I downloadedthe version of your skin on the front page, the non-git version. Might that be the issue? All I see is 3dsquare, poster.. etc as far as views- which are you using?
Ok, I've never tried to download just after I made and update via ZIP, it probably takes some time to get updated and isn't instant as the GiT. Sorry for that, didn't knew, but I just download the Zip and its already up to date.

Probably didn't work because they are complete different things that view and Adv Launch. Anyway, do you know if Adv Launch Scrapes for this Console Fanart or is just you that place a fanart jpg in the root of the emulator folder. I could try different approaches if I knew more.

ALA will scrape for thumbs but I have never had a successful scrape for the fanart (at least not in the console scraping, rom scraping works fine). I have had to search for my own fanart but then I can set the fanart in the ALA dialog menu.
I'm guessing that this wouldn't be too difficult if the fanart had a specific name/file extension. I would suggest maybe naming the image exactly as it shows at gamefaqs.com and then add an _fanart (which is what ALA does).
Examples of file names (for the emulators I have, obviously there are tons more. I would assume that these are the major ones though.):

Super Nintendo Entertainment System_fanart.jpg
Nintendo 64_fanart.jpg
Sega Genisis_fanart.jpg
Playstation_fanart.jpg
Playstation 2_fanart.jpg

Hello, what would the updated views be titled as? Perhaps the error is my fault =)

Panel and Slide are the names of the two views I just added to use with Adv Lan.
@ htpc guy
Will see what I can do, thanks.

hello!
first of all: beautiful skin.....awesome mod!
I really enjoy the backdrops in the home screen, the sounds and well....everything else!^^
I'd just like to know if it's possible to change the setting of the PosterPlus sliding animation for the movie info? I'd really like that to be triggered manually.
sorry if I just haven't found the right button!

@ Fenix
The posterplus animation is automatic on (when you see Normal) or off (when you see Posterplus), are the only options, I could try and see if there is a way to trigger the same when its off but I seriously doubt it.
@ Anyone
As everyone can imagine, this are busy days with lot of activities and more, so I won't be skkining in this days, I have a little holidays so I think after the 20 I'll be back. Maybe I check the forum, but don't expect to much for this days.
Happy festivities & enjoy

First off, I want to thank you for a great skin, my favorite by far. (And I have now tried everyone I could find.)
However I do have a question!
I would like to have the fanart from my movie collection displayed as a moving background for the home menu. Is this possible? And if so, am I overlooking the feature? (Like it does in the movie and TV menu, but changing backgrounds every few seconds, to different fanart images.)
Thanks again!

Go to Settings>Skin>Background and for every option select Multi Image and locate the path to the cached/library Fanart of XBMC, in windows is:
X:\Users\User Name\AppData\Roaming\XBMC\userdata\Thumbnails\Video\Fanart
Enjoy

Thank you! I knew there had to be a way.
