Icon view - don't display background (1 Viewer)

When changing from list view to cover view, is there a way to disable the background image loading? It makes seeing the rest of the covers difficult.

You have to modify the skin to do it. Goto your skin folder and open your movingpictures.xml file. Close to the begining you should see a section of code like what you see here.

Change the define to false for whichever views you don't want to use the backdrop.

Awesome, that worked like a champ. Is there a settnig to not dim the rest of the titles?

I think so, something to do with the facade control. You may be better off heading over to the skins subforum though. Although maybe someone else can give you exact details. I am unfortunately not much of a skinner.

it's this little peace of code in movingpictures.facade.xml:

        <unfocusedAlpha>150</unfocusedAlpha>

just play around with the value (range 000-254 if I'm correct) and of the top of my head, 254 would give all thumbs equal "undimmed" status
