Thanks mate, looking forward to it

ronie Wrote:you put the fanart images behind the backdrop, so you don't have to worry about them exactly fitting the movie screen. and by using a rotate animation, you can create a slight angle.

that's good, because i don't have to gimp the images this way, but i think it looks better with static fanart.

you mean without the pan and zoom animations ?
i'm sure i can make those optional...

And I thought Transparency! couldn't get any better... Silly me!
Look forward to this! +1 for making the pan and zoom optional. I'll probably leave them ON though...

i love it!

This look really good. Great Job.

for those that can't wait 'till it's integrated in the next release of Transparency!, here are the files you need to enable it:

- use this backdrop: movies.png
and select it as the background for the 'Movies' button. (Settings > Skin Settings > Backgrounds > Home - Movies > Single Image)

- copy this file to the 720p foler: Home.xml

- to add the animations also copy this file to the 720p folder: Includes.xml
(skip this step if you don't want the pan and zoom animations)
