Delay on Background images displaying?

Problem is the transparency of the menu on the left - it has to be opaque as you're moving stuff out from underneath it (submenus) and otherwise they'll show through. IMO making it opaque is just fine - it doesn't detract at all in my opinion, and I presume that's what happens when you're using a background pic.

Alternatives are moving the menu out then fading in the text etc. That way you can just use a zoom to do the "slide", so nothing is underneath the submenu etc.

Cheers,

I assume that's what happens when custom images are used?

Don't really understand what you mean the image isn't cropped the menu is overlayed. Even if you select a specific image to represent your menu choice it doesn't always appear straight away. I'm not saying that Xbox memory doesn't attribute to this pasue although it doesn't happen on other skins (or the delay is less).

At the moment this background issue and the fact you cannot play previews or FFWD in some movies are the major issues with this skin on the Xbox.

If you look at the SVN for MediaStream you'll see that the default images used are split into 3 parts and I assume from Skunkm0nkee's post that they're displaying only the centre and right one in certain instances (which is why I asked about joining them together as one image). Of course I could have got the wrong end of the stick.

How should these images be formatted. The thing is the original images appear fine and even in PM3.HD the defaults are fine until you replace with custom images and specify a folder that they are in.

Is there a way of just replacing the originals?
