    Yes, that's possible. You would have to change the BasicHome.xml file in the skin folder for the skin you are using.

    Below is an example for one of the controls (Radio in blue two wide).

    You would have to change the highlighted line. Change 'common.RadioAnimation.xml' to Radio0.png (same as for NoFocus) if you want nothing to change on the control. Change it to one of the .png files found in 'common.RadioAnimation.xml' if you just want another graph to pop up.

    If you are just annoyed by the graph coming forward twice (as I was) leave the BasicHome.xml file alone, but edit the 'common.RadioAnimation.xml' file. It shows the .png files to show in the animation in a list. Delete everything in that list after MyRadio3.png. Then the graph just changes and comes forward once.

    Of course you would have to repeat this for all the controls in the file. Then you have to delete the .bxml file in the skin folder for MP to regenerate the skin at startup.

    Good luck.

    I do not know why this xml was in my theme folders, it must have sneaked in some time ago (years?). I simply removed the file. The Latest Media Handler plugin seems to be working as expected. I've had no lock-ups.

    Hi. I was probably being a bit fast and loose with my terminology. I meant "somewhere within the files that MP2 uses in its database". Anyway, I found a way to do this which was far from automated but relatively low effort. I found what looked like all the images (CD covers, DVD covers, backgrounds etc all lumped together in...
