[QUOTE="Inker, post: 199243, member: 10541"] Well, as I said its a bit of a hack. Basically its just an image control placed behind all other controls, but in front of the general background. An appropriate image is searched for (its really stupid as it checks for filenames and a series id within that) and then giving the that control. Thats all there is to it (well, skinners can react to fanart being loaded or not and adjust other controls based on it - like move descriptions down etc. - but every fanart is treated the same way). Currently I think only 16:9 skins implement fanart (its up to the skin to support it) and the general layout is list at the right, and description in the left buttom part. Not true, they do consider hosting Fanart, so its not out of the question, but you are right, legal status is somewhat questionable mostly I would argue due to the high resolution of these images, so we will need to see.
