Different backgounds 1 per XML file

[egandt]

Is it possible to have many backgrounds, with 1 used on each plugin, or better yet each xml file, I ask because I'd like 1 bg for home, 1 for TV, 1 for music ..., normally it appears the background is only in 1 place the home.xml, I tried copying over that code to another xml, but it did not seem to take so I was either doing it wrong, or else I am missing something fundamental, about how skins work.

Thanks,
ERIC

No problems.

Just add this to every XML file you want to change the background.
Place it after the <controls> tag.
And do not forget to delete the cache files placed in the "Cache" folder in the mediaportal root folder. If not no changes will apear.

         <control>
		<description>BG</description>
		<type>image</type>
		<id>1</id>
		<posX>0</posX>
		<posY>0</posY>
		<width>1280</width>
		<height>720</height>
		<texture>backgroundfilename.png</texture>
	</control>

Maybee you have to change the width and height so it will fitt you skin
