But now I find it easier to see a huge image than to read  -  must be even older LOL (or blind from too many hours on computer!)  My son says I just caved to modern trends <img src="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7" class="smilie smilie--sprite smilie--sprite11" alt=":rolleyes:" title="Roll Eyes    :rolleyes:" loading="lazy" data-shortname=":rolleyes:" /> I think for your mod, without all the font/screen size and other options, you are safe to skin it the 'normal' way - i.e. mostly window by window. But actually adding layers is very easy because it is all done in common.window.backdrop.overlays.xml - except for Basic Home and a few other anomalies (there are always some in MP!). But maybe all you had to do for your fanart masks/overlays was just change the fanart_overlay texture to what you wanted? Then the code would already have been done in the backdrop overlays xml. Not sure what side effects that might create, but should be close. I thought maybe you meant the logos. Last I checked Maya did not have genre logos, I will have to take another look.  I already have two more logo packs mostly done, one like photopeter's pack for aMPed 3.2 and another basically like the current aMPed logo themes, but matching the media info logos (i.e. white on dark). They are just missing a few genres I have to add. Then I will post them on Google code as optional logo packs.  I can include yours too, if you like.  It's not that hard to change logos in TV Series, and My Films has a config option to select your logos pack. I don't think Videos even supports them yet, other than in OSD, but hopefully the trend for user options will continue. I guess it is obvious I am a big supporter of that!And no need to apologize Chuck.  I realize aMPed is not really your 'style' and you use it as a good base for 4:3.  I think I have been living in India too long - I can't live without color anymore! When I go home, Canada just seems so bland to me now LOL. But with the new theme editor (coming in 3.4 I hope)  you can create your own theme and adjust intensity for your TV/monitor, or for each room in your house, and your wife can get you to match the new paint job.
