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.

    Perhaps... Only way to confirm would be for me to invest in a different USB DVB-S2 tuner (like the Hauppauge WinTV-NOVA-S2), which I might do if the issue persists.

    Ok, so perhaps a solution, but not the "right" solution. On the client, within media portal configuration, under TV settings, advanced options, I switched to UNC paths instead of the default RSS, and it's working very well. Sure I had to figure out the paths, but no big deal. Maybe helpful for someone in the future. Thanks for the...
