Removing "Fanart - Background" from Background priorities in Launchbox prevents Big Box from displaying it at all.

Issue #6802 invalid
Elvis Martini created an issue

If I create an image element specifically to refer to game background fanart but I remove it from the background priorities list in the LB options, the image element won’t display the fanart.

I’m trying to avoid having background fanart show up in the transitionpresenter background element, but I want to use it as a background for a completely different element. Unfortunately, this doesn’t appear to be possible unless this bug is fixed.

    This is the feature working as intended. The BackgroundImagePath property is used to gather an image from the Background Image Group. You are attempting to use it to grab a "Fanart - Background" image type.

    We do have a themeable background view (BackgroundView) but I was looking into the view since the last few ticket submissions and admit it's a bit lacking in regard to useable bindings. I have opened ticket 6803 in response to that need. You can vote and track the issue there.

    Cool, thanks. I actually realized I don’t need the transitionpresenter background in games view so I have a workaround in place for myself but I’ve voted for that ticket since more versatility is always a good thing.
