[Big Box] Allow platform fan art to act as a default background in games view

[Elvis Martini]

Whether using the default theme or a custom theme, it should be possible to have platform fan art to act as a “default” or “back-up” background in games view the same way it does in filters/platforms view. This should be possible since each game has an associated platform.

When creating a custom theme, this is possible but only by not using the TransitionPresenter, which is less than ideal since the TransitionPresenter is used by the default theme and has the crossfade animation inherent in it.

This is already done inside of both LaunchBox and Big Box. If a game does not have a background image we grab a random "Fanart" image from it's platform (if it has one)

Oh, I see where I’m going wrong. I think my actual issue is that using a custom theme override for platform fan art only works in filters/platform view and doesn’t work in games view.

For it to work in the games view, the files have to be put into the launchbox images directory under images/platforms/platformname/fanart, which is not ideal for a custom theme.

Should I resubmit the ticket with the more accurate description?

Ah ok. Yes please.
