Stark Covers

Stark Covers is a small tool to add some customization to your movie covers/posters. You can get it from here. With this software you can add a polish design to your movie, TV covers or even for CD covers (only with the media browser phoenix or above version). The only con I see is you have to run it every time we add a new movie or a TV show. The software uses a previous grabbed folder.jpg and convert it to folder.png. And the folder.jpg will rename to bkfolder.jpg.

Media Browser - Part 3 - Adding a Custom Background and an Icon

It is very easy to change the background and the icon of media browser. So find a good background image which is suitable for you and put it in the following folder. The image could be a .jpg or .png. But the name must be as follows: backdrop.jpg or backdrop.png 

C:\ProgramData\MediaBrowser\StartupFolder

 You can get several nice looking background images from here.

To change the icon you just have to replace the Application.png and ApplicationInactive.png images found in C:\Program Files\MediaBrowser\MediaBrowser 

You can get an icon from here.

Media Browser - Part 2 - Themes

After you completed the initial configurations you can do further enhancements by going to the MB’s configuration setup.  To go there click the wrench button on the right-bottom on the media browser home screen. There you’ll find several themes default, diamond, harmony, vanilla etc. Of course you won’t see all of I’ve mentioned unless you add the plugins I cited in my previous post. Here are some of the screenshots of available themes for media browser.
