Hi Hoosier,
Start with the following steps
1: make sure you have add-on exetendedinfo installed.
2: make sure 'backend' mode is enabled in setting -> skin settings
3: make sure you have movies in the set, access context menu on a movie 'c', select manage near the bottom and then manage movie set, if there is no set then right to 'add new set' and enter the name.
4: Look at running add-on movie set artwork automater/ downloader - this really needs to have a parent folder i.e. The Dark Knight Trilogy which has the three movies in separate folders in that folder. This add-on will copy all the artwork from the movies in the set into the parent folder or something like that. I've only used it once and had mixed results but that may be as I don't have all movies in the Parent / Child folder config. But read about the add-on before running to make sure you want to use it or not.
5: As stated earlier make sure in viewtype settings -> BD / DVD cases that at least showcase mod and open set as boxcase are on.
6: Don't use clear cases as the animation for opening a box set doesn't work very well with boxsets.
You can do 'c' and a boxset, then select manager and then choose art to add a box set cover, logo, etc etc.
You need to have a disc / discart image in the relevant movie folder for the movie set to pull it in, if you find after getting it setup and working that you have a disc rolling on the screen then just go to choost art and remove the discart assocation, think movie artwork add-on sets this?
Give these steps a go and let us know how you get on and if anything else is not quite right. AS schimi2k said, down arrow on movies and then find 'movies sets' to just display your boxsets.
Mike.

Many Thanks Schimi2k.
Quick question, noticed you have a 'millenium' collection in there? I ca't find that on fanart.tv so just wondering where you might have got your posrt, logo etc for that collection?

Many Thanks again Schimi2k. I'll have to remember that tmdb number search for future reference
but u have a small box on the right side where u can put in the TMDB number in it - sometimes u come to the "collection" page of the movie and "sometimes" u see some stuff in it
