[QUOTE="2BitSculptor, post: 743890, member: 65661"] I've started playing with converting the wide screen skin to 1080x768. I began with TV Series because it seemed the most daunting. I resolved first issue of widescreen fanart fitting the 4:3 aspect by first making a mask to apply to the TV Series fanart directly (in the xml) to fade it to transparent on the top and bottom, so it will fit side to side and blend into the background behind the overlays as not to show the edges. The fanart is then sized in the fanart xml to 1080x608. ... it doesn't look awkward at all. I had to add a background.png behind the fanart to avoid the blank black base field. I've also had to change the TV thumb in episode view to a 4:3, squeeze the Series/Season thumbs as well as the center list field over more to the left to make room for the description text on the right. I spent most of the day on this... and still have a bit to finish in TV Series. There is really more to it than first meets the eye. I also fit most of the Basic Home screen to4:3, again, more to do. .... Wish me luck. - Chuck [/QUOTE]
