It's already a feature in XBMC which can be done through the pictures window.. This mod just adds a seconds pictures tab labeled 'comics' and points the window to a different source that you specify in settings. So that way pictures will use the square frames and comics will use the dvd style frames.. (and because having comic backdrops on the main menu is cool)

Can a cbr reader be used at all here to play back cbr files?

Or do you have to have all teh comics stored as seperate images?

XBMC can read CBR/CBZ files..

it reads.cbr and .cbz
