Missing a trick here ...

A option to treat the weather fanart the same way as the other categories would be nice.

I prefer to see snow and a variety of pictures instead of the same pictures over and over. If I can't experience the seasons at least I could look at them. =)

LOL I didn't thought off that, you're totaly right.

Come life in Holland and your weather fanart works great !!!

See all views in one day

Can't remeber who requested it but it's already done and will be in the next release (hopefully in the next hour or so)

Just reinstalled from sratch the latest T3CH XBMC 9.04.1-FIXED-Babylon and minmedia 0.86 and Im getting backgrounds loading fine in each section but on the home screen everything is blank. Same issue as very first post.

I'm not sure 9.04.1 has the necessary changes to make the backgrounds work on Home? (9.04.1 is a fixed version of 9.04 but doesn't include features that have been developed since)

Yap, dont install 9.04.1 search "xbmc nightly builds" i'm using 20445 and works great.

Yep all sorted now since I go the nightly build

Hi guys, I'm getting this issue too. (no backgrounds on the home screen) I couldnt find the svn build 20445, mentioned above, but i did try the one, prior and the one just after. I have also tried the very latest one.

In addition I have the latest version of the skin.

I downloaded the weather pack and i get background for that. But nothing else on the home menu displays a background. If i go to weather, then the backdrop stays there even when i move to other options on the menu.

Any ideas?

Could it be that i just dont have the images? Does anyone know where they live, so i can verify they are there

There are no background images in the skin so if you haven't downloaded any or set them up then you won't see any.

Read the bottom of the v0.92 release post to get details about backgrounds

My next question then would be how I set a custom image for each of the home menu options. DVD, tv shows, movies etc

In the skin options under background, there are no options to assign BG's for TV Shows, Movies, Videos. And if I set a background folder to the ones which are there, for example system, then the image doesnt appear until i enter the menu.

I cant see any other options for seting the home menu backgrounds.

EDIT: Ok, with another SVN, i can now get background images to appear for Power, DVD, System and Weather, by setting the background folders in the skin options.

But, I am still at a loss as to how I set the backgrounds for, Music, Videos, Movies, Pitcures, and Tv Shows. As there are no options to set a background folder for these in the Skin Options. ....As best i can see.
