Hello!
Yep.. I spotted the problem. Go to references.xml in the StreamedMP folder and search for the
<description>default thumbnail panel</description> part. Delete the <unfocusedAlpha>100</unfocusedAlpha> (or set it to 255!) in this part and the thumbs won't have any transparency.

If you don't wanna have the transparency only in the TVSeries banner view you can add <unfocusedAlpha>255</unfocusedAlpha> in the TVSeries.facade.xml there.

Dont need to modify XMLs to do that, just go to Skin settings in GUI and change from Misc section. This changes it globally, ofc if you only want it for a specific XML then yes you need to add it yourself.

Thanks Holzi!!! Awesome.. It's looking so much better now.. Really like it.. I think that this was the only thing I didn't try yet..

I'm learning fast with help of people like you.. Thanks a lot for that..

Hello!

Thank you for this mod. I have been trying to track something like this down for a loooong time. You have done a wonderful job.

I have a question for you about your mod.

When displaying dvd/blu-rays in coverflow, is it possible to get your mod to show all of the dvd/blu-rays (not just the one that is currently selected) in their appropriate cases. I have seen this in XBMC and your mod is the closest that I can find. It would be wonderful if, instead of having a standard case fitted to all non-selected media, they could all appear in coverflow in their blu-ray/dvd cases.

Is there any way that this could be done?

I would greatly appreciate your help.

Thanks again

Kevin, with the current coverflow setup, you only have a choice to display 2 frames and that is what we did in the MOD, ie display the correct DVD cover for the selected movie and a generic one for the rest of the movies in the background.

Hi powermarcel,

I've nearly completed a version of this mod for myvideos (MP 1.3 only). As I've used your templates in the mod I thought I should ask if you're OK with me posting it when it's finished?

Thanks for the work you've done on this.

All the best,

Mick
