Waow, how do you change your background like that?

Edit: Found it! Just replace the background.png in skin/blue3/media right?
Edit2: Um, no it didn't work, how to do it?

I think you still have to empty your <insert skin name here> cache folder first.
Its in Docs&Settings\all users .... <application data> depending on XP or Vista different path here. then look for (a) mediaportal subfolder(s) and delete the folders in your cache folder.

I replaced the background.png and Backgroundtop.png


THATS WHERE THE CACHE IS!...

C:\documents and settings\all users\application data\team mediaportal\cache

Before installing RC3 i had RC1 installed and the cache was in the actual program files directory.... so i had to make a copy of the blue 3 skin with my new bg and make a new folder name. good to know where that cache is.

I also made it to where when the 4:3 blue3 skin gets stretched a lil on my 16:9 screen that the background is the correct aspect ratio.... a lil photoshoping of taking the image, cropping it to a 16:9 aspect, then making distorting it to a 4:3.... thus when it gets stretched... wallla 16:9

I really cant wait for a 16:9 blue3 i love this new skin and anamations.
