A. Add .jpg images named as the artist and place it in the /Media/Fanart/Music folder. Like Madonna.jpg
What if I want to have more than one fanart for the same artist?

hi damaster,
Thanks for your questions.
1. The menu configuration reads the xfactor.xml file that is in your ProgramData library (a backup of this file with default menu is also in the skin\xfactor folder, but this is only used if you have not saved before.
So it works like this;
1. If you have nothing saved before it reads the default menu from the xfactor.xml file in the skin\xfactor folder.
2. If you have saved before (not only generated a new menu) it reads this from the ProgramData\... (if Vista or Documents and settings... if xp) and loads your own menu.
3. Press generate to create new basichome menues.
4. Press Save and the Ok in MP configuration to save if you have changed anything.
This means that you should never have to "reconstruct" your basichome after an upgrade of xfactor skin. Only open the menu editor that reads your old menu and then press generate new basichome and you are done. This is how my setup at home works after every upgrade and it really makes upgrades easy because your own menu is never owerwritten by the skin
2. This skin supports MovingPictures 0.7.5 but also included are some things supporting 0.8. I will add full support when 0.8 is released.
To support more than one image I would have to change the implementation so that you add subfolders to the /FanArt/Music folder that corresponds to the artist name and then you could drop any "madonna" pictures in the Madonna folder and the skin would cycle them.
