Hitcher,
Upon entering the home screen, after the menu image frames display I see the "Thumb Not Available" in the backdrop area (within the frames) for ~1 second before the backdrops fill in... is this intentional?
My PC is very fast for XBMC: E7400, 6GB RAM, Win7 x64, 100% on SSD.
thx for the help
I'm not an expert but I play one at work.

The fallback image is loaded before the other image/s because they're background loaded.
I could remove the fallback image altogether.

I have noticed this behaviour aswell, and it really is annoying when you're used to seeing images load instantly. Since i'm popping in and out of the Home screen quite a lot while browsing around xbmc it's been somewhat of a showstopper in migrating to 2.8+

A possible feature request would be to split the "loading..." image away from the "fallback" image?

They've always been background loaded so I've no idea what's happened there unless it's a case of having too many items.

OK, it's weird then. I just reverted to an older release and there the images are already loaded at the zoom animation, but not the case with the newer releases (only frames loaded at the zoom stage). And don't think it has anything to do with the amount of items, since I've only added 1 custom item and rest is default. Can anyone confirm this or is this really only a problem on my end?

Ah, come to think of it I did increase the fadetime for nicer transitions so you could try changing it back to 400.
