I don't have the problem with the fading in my original. Something must have gone wrong when adding it to your MOD. Changing the last few lines may fix the problem but it's more code than necessary. I'll look into what could've gone wrong and try to find a better solution.

EDIT: Better yet, add Control.IsVisible(67) to control id 70.

This way it doesn't change the way I've designed it. If we want the bottom infopane not to fade we can add a skin setting.

It should now read as follows:
PHP Code:
<control type="group" id="70">
    <
posy>646</posy>
    <
posx>0</posx>
    <
description>Wall View Bottom Bar Area</description>
    <include>
WallInfoPaneImage</include>
    <
visible>!Control.IsVisible(69) + Control.IsVisible(67)</visible>
    <
animation effect="fade" start="100" end="0" time="200">Visible</animation>
</
control

It will now only show on the wall view and only at the proper time.

Very Nice. I'm liking the old style recently added on the home screen. It's a little more clear what is selected.

The textures.xpr should probably be compressed on the high setting as the wide slim list white overlay is a bit distorted especially when dimmed. The fanart isn't showing on that view either That's an easy fix though. Just add Control.IsVisible(68) to the BackgroundFanart incude in the includes_backgrounds.xml

First few lines should look like this when you're done:
PHP Code:
<include name="BackgroundFanart">
        <
control type="group">
            <
visible>![Player.HasAudio + !Skin.HasSetting(DisableMusicVizBG)] + ![Player.HasVideo + !Skin.HasSetting(DisableVideoBG)]</visible>

            <
control type="group">
                <
visible>Window.IsActive(VideoLibrary) + Container.Content(Movies)
                + [[
Control.IsVisible(52) + !Skin.HasSetting(HideMoviesListFanart)] 
                | [
Control.IsVisible(53) + !Skin.HasSetting(HideMoviesWrapListInfoFanart)] 
                | [
Control.IsVisible(58) + !Skin.HasSetting(HideMoviesListInfoFanart)]
                | 
Control.IsVisible(59) | Control.IsVisible(64) | Control.IsVisible(66) | Control.IsVisible(68)]</visible

You'll have to do the same a little ways down for tv shows as well.

Thanks for that. After staring at the screen for ages it is amazing what you miss. Regarding the textures I assume your running it on xbox.?

No problem. I'm running it on 3 xboxes and a pc. The degradation is there on both. You can see it on the home screen as well on the general icon. Notice how the top edges of the box are all fuzzy/pixelated? Just need to set Xpr Express to the high quality compression setting.

I will follow your advice. I see what you mean now. I have an update coming later anyway. I have changed the rating number to stars on the Wide Slim List and made the Wide Slim List selected item background light transparent so that a bit of the fanart shows through plus a few other tweaks and fixes.
