I almost forgot about this one. Can we use it or is it already in the latest weekly?

Yes, this is included in the "skinengine way". Shouldn't it be already in use in multiple places?

I'm referring only to brownards last post in this thread. he proposes another change.

A sorry, this was a misunderstanding.

The proposed changes are not yet commited, so they are not included. The idea is good, but we should keep the current behavior as default and enable it only in wanted cases.

I can probably commit it later today, I'll create a new post/JIRA for it.

Could it make sense to allow something like following?
<Image Source="..." HorizontalAlignment="..." VerticalAlignment="..."
UniformedHorizontalAlignment="..." UniformedVerticalAlignment="...">

The two new parameters are optional and are only working with uniformed images.
By this we could also force the fixed position of images to left side for example.

I've added Horizontal/VerticalTextureAlignment properties to the base TextureImageSource, I haven't added any properties to the ImageControl as there could potentially be an ImageSource where texture alignment doesn't make sense, this could easily be changed though.

Implementing it in xaml looks something like

<Image Grid.Row="0" Grid.Column="0" HorizontalAlignment="Right" VerticalAlignment="Center" Stretch="Uniform" Margin="0,0,5,0" Height="560" Width="560">
    <Image.Source>
      <ImageSourceWrapper Delay="0.5" DelayInOut="true" Transition="transitions\dissolve" TransitionDuration="0.5" HorizontalTextureAlignment="Right"
                    Source="{Binding Source={StaticResource FanArtBackgroundModel}, Path=ImageSource, Converter={StaticResource FanArtImageSourceConverter}, ConverterParameter=Poster;0;0;False}"
                    FallbackSource="{Binding Source={StaticResource FanArtBackgroundModel},Path=MediaItem}" />
    </Image.Source>
</Image>

Note that you need to give the Image control a width and height otherwise it will shrink to fit the texture dimensions and alignment won't apply.

You're right, this makes more sense. Great to have this feature
