I found this (http://wiki.xbmc.org/index.php?title=Thumbnail_Panel) page which gives me the syntax for hiding a title label, but I'm not sure what XML file to put it in to make the change apply to my skin when I'm using wide icons. Can someone out there help out a noob?

Also, is this the proper syntax to use to hide labels once I find the right XML file? Thank you in advance for anyone willing to offer advice.

<control>
<type>thumbnailpanel</type>
<hidelabels>all</hidelabels>
</control>

I've found it - CommonViewTypes.xml.

Said control is depreciated. You'll instead simply have one that has a bunch of <itemlayout> and <focusedlayout> groups, and within that some labels. Just remove the labels you don't want.

Thanks for the reply. It took me a little playing with it, but once I figured out that the highlights behind the items were actually made with semi-transparent pngs, everything fell into place. The configuration through XML is quite clean - I very much appreciate the effort the devs put into it.
