I have the same problem. I'm not able to modify original confluence to change genre icons. But my experiences with xml are also bad.

Thanks max but it didn't work. It reintroduced the big black backdrop that I made some effort to remove. Even if It had worked it is a puzzle to me why the fanart is blocked by that big black thing

The black contentpanel.png, same as the image you placed with the genre icons above.

That's in there by default...
If you don't want to see it, just delete contentpanel.png and you're ready to go

Great update. thanks to all involved. I have 2 questions/issue.
1. I have swapped the aspectratio from 'scale' to 'stretch' for the thumbnails as scaling trims the top/bottom of the image (personal preference).
2. The xml file always looks in the 'moviegenre' folder - even when viewing music genre thumbnails. This is ok until there is a name clash (like 'Indie' or 'christmas'). I don't know how to modify the view in 'ViewFileMode.xml' so that it will look in the correct folder (musicgenre vs moviegenre). Currently the xml lines are as follows:
<texture background="true">moviegenres/$INFO[ListItem.Label].jpg</texture>
<visible>Container.Content(Genres)</visible>
Any ideas?
Thanks once again to all.

You need another control with
<texture background="true">musicgenres/$INFO[ListItem.Label].jpg</texture>
<visible>Container.Content(Genres) + Window.IsVisible(502)</visible>
