different backgrounds for favourites added to home menu?

Brokkah · 2012-01-10 21:47

Hi,

I have added a set of favourites to appear as menu items on the main menu, but they all have the default background (a graphic equalizer). I'd like each to have its own background image. Is this possible, and if so how do I go about doing it?

Thanks!

They are located here

C:\Users\yourusername\AppData\Roaming\XBMC\addons\skin.aeon.nox\backgrounds

go into skinsettings -> backgrounds
There you can chose what image you want for every enabled menu item

Aha, now I see! Thanks a lot!

I'm not exactly sure if these instructions pertain to what I want to do but maybe you can help me regardless.

I want to manually change the background "fanart" for each tv show. The only option I see within the skin settings are for the backgrounds for the HomeWindow.

If I'm not making any sense then I can post a picture later on to help.

Is there possibly a different menu I need to be in for this?

What do you mean? If your artwork was downloaded properly, the fanart for each TV show should be displayed automatically when you're browsing them, as long as you use a view that displays fanart. There's no need for a manual setting.

Edit to clarify: displaying fanart when browsing is different from setting the background pictures from the home screen.

To change fanart go to video info screen (press I on keyboard) and go to 'Get Fanart'

Thank you for responding so quickly guys!

I already have Fan Art enabled and they do in fact display when I cycle through my shows, but is there any way to choose an alternate image of my choosing for that background?

So for instance for the following picture (taken from the gallery thread). Is there any way to change the "band of brothers" fan art to an alternate version directly from my hard drive?

Same way: 'Get fanart' and then browse to your fanart location

I'm sorry but I'm VERY new to this...I've been reading all the tutorials I can for the last few days and I must of missed that. Can you direct me to a tutorial for that or possibly just point me to where that folder will be?

Thank you so much!
