[QUOTE="JavaMC, post: 375471, member: 88295"] So some people have been unhappy with the way 2.5 uses only half the screen to display banners. Just edit TVSeries.xml in the monochrome folder. Oh, I’ve been using media portal for about 5 days now so if I’m doing anything wrong just let me know. I know this information is about other places but..well.. 1: First thing I did was remove the fan art letterbox (Made some banners hard to see) *Control with the description “FanArt Overlay - Other Views” *Just delete the pointer to the image from <texture>fanart_overlay_window.png</texture> so it is now <texture></texture> 2: Changed the rather bright default TV series background to my own darker one. *Look for “Default Background” *Change <texture>fanart_background_tv.png</texture> to point to your own image (this will have to be placed inside Skins -> Monochrome -> Media ). e.g.<texture>my_new_Background.PNG<texture> 3: Move the panel that the banners are contained on to the top left (Watching out not to overlay logos) *”graphical thumbpanel” control is near the bottom *Change <posX> and <posY> until its in the right position (7,70 for 1360x768) 4: Increase the size of the banner panel *Change <height> until it’s filling the space (700 for 1360x768). 5: The semi-transparent backgrounds to the series banners is done by editing tv_series_nofocus.PNG in the skins media folder All done Again there is probably a much better way of doing this but it works.
