Hi all...

So I have just built a new HTPC.
I have installed OpenELEC 2.0 PVR (Beta 1) - 1.95.1 - i386 (146 MB)

Its installed fine.
I do not have a PVR card yet, but plan to get one in the future which is why I chose this build.

Now I installed Aeon MQ3 via the repository and it installed fine.
Default skin looked fine.
Then I downloaded the cold and darkness themes.
I have installed them but now my background art in Music, Movies, TV Shows do not show up.
Its just a black screen, with the menu bar and everything,
Just no background images.
Its still fully usable, just looks crud.

I have uninstalled the skin and installed a new one.
Tried different theme, but still happens, even on the default one that did work.

All other backgrounds work, like Weather, and Settings, and Shutdown, all of them.
Just the 3 above dont...

Any idea?
I have removed the repository and re-added, still nada.

Can anyone help to to fully remove this skin so that I can re-download from scratch?
As when I uninstall it, it re-installs way too quick like it doesn't download anything.

So it must be stored somewhere.
Can anyone help me to fully remove this skin, then I can try re-download the repository?

I am also having this issue with MQ3. New install of XBMC, followed by install of all addons required and MQ3. Switched to show fanart for movies and I get a black screen and the menu...

I have already tried removing XBMC completely and re-install same issue...

So is this a common problem with a new installation and Aeon MQ3?
