What skin to use on Vero 4K+?

Rapier is my must-have skin.

Even using the lightest overlay the posters are still seriously compromised. The whole point of using a nice graphical interface on the tv is to make use of the metadata and associated media to find stuff by. It simply makes it harder to recognize the artwork when it doesn’t have the correct colours. Also, I haven’t spent countless hours scouring the interwebs for the best artwork to have it hidden under a grey blanket!

This should be adressed in the next update… The option to adjust the dimming of non-focused cover art has already been present in our skin for a while now (under System/Interface/Skin/Configure skin…/Advanced/Dim factor of unfocused art). I’ll probably add another option to that setting before the next update: 0% dimming. This should be what you’re referring to, @bluefuzz. Correct?
To make out which cover is selected, when using a low-percentage dim factor, the selected title’s cover art is now bigger in size. This new feature takes effect in widgets as well as other cover art views: wall view for movies, TV shows and music as well as add-ons and games under v18 and wide list for movies and TV shows.

An example:

The feature will be available in the next v17 update as well as in the next v18 nightly.

Excellent! Thanks. This should make the default skin a lot more pleasant to use.
