thanks... however, a nice touch would be an info panel, like in movies (with description, release year, screens, trailer/or video gameplay, even your catalog number). Maybe phil65 will take a look when he will have some free time... alaska looks nice with info for games/roms

I like it, good job! maybe a glow for poster to separate it from fanart (sometimes they use the same colours) and maybe a landscape area (diffused) to make review more readable and to achieve a nicer placement.
However, it's nicer than the default poster/fanart view Wink

Thanx guys for comments, would be a pleasure to join your team Phil, but this is my first little
MOD i've ever done, so my "skinner attributes" aren't that great Smile

Would be great if you could share your uncompressed Media, so i can make this MOD would get a nicer "aeon" touch.

Edit: sorry Phil have already seen that media isn't compressed.

Cheers
