When in Coverflow View in Music is it possible to remove the scrollbar or make it smaller like aeon stark's its too big, doesnt really fit with the skin and also is it possible to remove the menu bars from the side of that view to just so we can only see the the album covers, it just seems cluttered.

The menu bar can be hidden. It is simple coding. That is the way I have it in my dvd scroll menu. Unless the scroll bar is selected it stayed hidden. I have played around with shrinking the coverflow menu alot, because I agree it is too big. It is a very hard view to change. It would be great if Jezz X could step in and shrink it down, since he is the mastermind behind it all. The gray menu bars can be moved out of screen as well. This and can be done from myvideonav.xml. Look for the right and left panel areas.

Try scaling the images down if you are using XBOX. They work fine on mine, but I know people who have had to scale down a bit to eliminate the black screens. I also use 720p and I know sometimes if you use 1080i it will mess things up a bit.

I tried that still no joy but it has the same problem on my pc? i was going to merge your mod
with jezzX's Brushed Chrome then it would be perfect.
Which .xml controls the backdrops as i could not seem to find it?
Any help pointers would be greatSmile

home.xml controls the backdrops for the main menu?

Are you using skin settings to set specific folders that have images? At the moment I don't think my xml has a default image, so unless you set a background folder you will have a black screen. I always use my background folders for each menu control. You can get my pack from the download link.

The reason i asked was because the original pm3HD Backdrops are in the textures.xpr
They just wont display all the other backdrops you created for the other screens do show.
I will have another look at the home.xml and see if i can fix it. thanks

Just looked and I forgot I deleted the image controls in home.xml for the fallback images. I did it when i was reordering the menu buttons. I just fixed it right now, so all buttons have default images and packed them into the xpr. I also fixed tvshowtitles.png was not showing in library mode, added some new genre icons for tv shows, and about 6 new film studio flags.
