A lot of this in a folder using the multimage backdrop view in the home screen make a beautiful effect (Look at this Video). These images are easy to make using Gimp. Here you can find the 720, 1080 and 1024x768 image with trasparent screen ready to edit. Enjoy.

That's a good idea.. how would you stretch it out of proportions to fit the screen and create "3d" effect?Is that at all possible?

yeah, exactly...But what I am thinking is that when you scrolling through the DB, it wouldn't change the whole Fanart background, instead just the picture in the screen.

I know that the Transparency! is Fanart skin and I love it, just thinking if something like this would be possible and if it would look neat.
