Title: No Cover Art Images
Post by: Neville on September 17, 2004, 07:55:10 am
I've created some replacement images for use when no cover art is available or as logo replacement, so here it is.
Actual size is 500x500 px in png format. Hope you'll like it.  :D

Great :)

How hard would it be to make a PNG that's alpha-based instead of blue / white based.  That way, it'd look equally good on lots of backgrounds.

Thanks!

Please, use them freely for everything you want. I'll be glad if they end up in your plug-in   :)
I'll try to make the alpha based version, and also version for dark background today.

Here is the alpha version - I have to modify the original a bit to look good in both dark and light backgrounds

and here is image for very dark backgrounds:

If you want images with text, let me know and I'll make it.

...Media Center\Data\Default Art\NoThumb.png

Actually, ...\Media Center\Data\Custom Art\NoThumb.png is a better choice, since it won't get overwritten each time you re-install Media Center.

or if you are using auto image slideshow track info plugin, you can set variable to show that image as default cover art.

They appear when you enable thumbnail or album thumbnail list style: when no cover art is available, or for videos when no preview etc.
