Is there any way to fade a #imdbnumber image control in and out? (1 Viewer)

Is there any way to fade this control in and out? I think the transformation is too abrupt when you scroll down your video list.

<control>
<description>Fanart</description>
<type>image</type>
<id>1</id>
<posX>0</posX>
<posY>0</posY>
<width>1920</width>
<height>1080</height>
<texture>fanart_imdb\#imdbnumber.jpg</texture>
</control>

I have tried <animation effect="fade" time="1000">VisibleChange</animation> with no luck

If you will use a animation by using the visiblechange command, you must give the item a visible comand. Like is visible by hasfocus(?) or anything else.
In other way you can use window open or windowclose

<animation effect="fade" time="1000">WindowOpen</animation>

I’ll try to explain a little better

In My Videos I have a background image control (fanart_imdb\#imdbnumber.jpg).
This changes the background when you scroll down your listcontrol, icons etc.

Example:
I have focused on Star Wars 1: fanart_imdb\tt321542.jpg is show as a background
When I move my focus to Star Wars 2 the background changes to fanart_imdb\tt524962.jpg

What I’m asking is it possible to have the control fade out Star Wars 1 and fade in Star Wars 2 when I move between.

Today it’s just changing the pictures, this makes it terrible to look at when you scrolling fast thru your movies.

I can't use windowopen since the window is already open.
I can't use hasfocus(x) since the listcontrol only has one id.
I can't use VisibleChange since it's already visible.

I've been trying to do tis as well, I can't seem to get it to work either. Any other ideas Harley, or anyone for that matter?

Because there is no trigger ( that i know of) for item changes in a list/tumb menu i dont think this is possible.
But it would be really nice if we could get that in the future, it would make it possible to make many nice effects.

I don't get why, it is possible in filmstrip, and not in list/thumb view

I would very much like to use a nice fadeeffect in my new skin too. I just don't want to use filmstrip.
