This is a Non-Moviesheet Theme (ie. It's just using Poster Thumbnails)
3rd Party Software (eg. "Thumbgen" is NOT Required) it's optional if you wish to use it.
(Inspired by Xbmc Alaska by Hitcher)

https://hotfile.com/dl/162042832/5f12e3c/AR3Ver.ra
This was designed and Tested on Firmware 3.05.10 by myself and other 'testers'
It will work with Firmware 2.07.17 (Except Preview Browse Info .. Which will out of alignment)
This Theme was tested working with Media Library On and Off.
A README TEXT:
* The Theme is a Non-Moviesheet Theme ... it only uses "Poster" Thumbnails either generated via the Hub's Internal Meta Scraper or a 3rd Party
Scraper.. eg.Thumbgen
So, if you "Are" satisfied with the Jpeg Picture Quality of the Hub's Scraped Posters .. then you dont need to use a 3rd Party Application.
If you are "Not" satisfied with the Jpeg Picture Quality then of course, you can use a 3rd Party Application to generate Poster Thumbnails.
It is Recommended not to exceed a Resolution of 300(w) x 450(h) Dimensions.
Whilst the Theme will do the best to Scale / Align / Fixratio of the Poster Thumbnails it is Recommended to use Posters with and Aspect Ratio of 2:3 or a Scaled Down Resolution of 1000x1500 which is a Popular Standard Format of the TMDB.
Dont use 1000x1500 !
use a "Scaled" Resolution .. eg. 300x450, 200x300, 178x267, 120x180 are examples of scaled and maintained
Aspect Ratio based on 1000x1500.
__________________________________________________
* The "Appearance" of a Landscape "Fanart" image (eg. Gallery View on the Left Side of Screen) is a Vertically Pannned and Top Aligned Image of the Poster
Thumbnail Image.
For Movie/Tv Posters with the Graphic Art Focused at the "Top" and the Title/Text is Vertically Bottom Aligned.. this "Simulated" Fanart effect is suitable.
For Movie/Tv Posters with the Graphic Art Focused at the "Bottom" and the Title/Text is Vertically Top Aligned.. then does not look so good.
2 Workarounds... Find an Alternate Poster that is Suitable or Custom Design one.
__________________________________________________
* The Theme will work with the Media Library ON or OFF ...BUT disabling the Media Library will Disable Features / Views and Picture Quality.
__________________________________________________
* The Option for "View Backdrop Photos" is only Available if you have gathered the Movie Info via the Hub's Internal Scraper and you have the Media Library ON.
Also, the "View Backdrop Photos" Option ... i modified it soley for use in "Gallery View" . The Internal Firmware does Not display a Movie Plot / Overview
whilst in this mode.
I modified it to be an "Overlay" on top the Gallery View.
Using the "View Backdrop Photos" Option in any other View is not Recommended.
__________________________________________________
It's "Gallery View" and "Large Video View"
Not Mockups... Screenshots are from Dvd Recorder Capture (Which is why the Quality is not the Best) have my Hub simultaneously connected via HDMI to TV and Composite to Dvd Recorder.
Included Reference to "Generic Now Playing" Xml in the "Large Video View" so when Music is Playing the Cover Art and Scrolling Album Info is displayed.
Running on Firmware 2.07.17
I love the Wall mode gallery look and the white backgrounds. This alaska theme you are basing this off, does the original have the exact same layout? It would be nice [in my opinion] to have the covers be 5x3 [instead of 6x3] Give more realty for the image and info on the left to be bigger [for the blind old farts like me ]
