Enhancement Request - Fade to transparent / No fanart = transparent image

[GoogleCodeExporter]

(1) If there is no fanart available does it display a black image, or a
blank image. If possible it would be better to display a blank (transparent
image) because then the skinner can set the image he wants to display when
no fanart is available. eg. the movie theatre in moving pics skin, or the
music studio in nowplaying music window.

(2) I notice that sometimes the fanart fades in from a black background, is
it possible to fade in from a transparency? This would allow the skinner to
fade from their own custom image if they don't like having a black fade.

Hi,

Thank you for your feedback. I think these are all skinning issues. The plugin 
shows 
fanart if available. If not available then no image is displayed (no black and 
no 
transparent). so it is up to you as a skinner to add appropriate controls for 
displaying other iamges if fanart is not available. Please see the skinner 
guide for 
examples or look at the x-factor files linked in the skinners guide. In those 
files 
all is working (fanart is displayed if available else an image or multiimage).

best regards
cul8er
