Request/question: Change size and transparency of home menu
#1
Hi! First of all: love the skin! I have had no issues what so ever with it, unlike most of the other skins, and it looks great!

There is just one thing that bugs me: the home menu.
I use backdrops/fan art for my movies and tv shows menu options, but the part under the menu is almost hidden, because it's so dark. Since the image is in a texture, I can't really get to it (right?). Can I replace it with my own image, and if so, what should I replace and where should I place it?


A picture says more than a thousand words, so:
default:
Image

my mockup (and a crappy one at that, I suck at gimp):
Image

Also, could the fonts be made a little smaller in an easy way, with the result that the whole menu is a little lower. Or are they embedded in a texture too? I tried looking for something in the xml files, but found nothing really. I managed to make the unfocused and adjacent menu options smaller, but not the focused one. Not really the look I was going for. Smile (I did however manage to change the font color of the ending time in the video osd. That red color really didn't suit me)

Do you think something along those lines would be doable?

Edit: I might aswell ask this too:
Weather on the home menu. Am I missing something, or isn't it there yet?
I found this thread: http://forum.xbmc.org/showthread.php?tid=58279
where you say it will be implemented in the next version, what version is that?
