Not sure if this is the correct place to post this. Knowing nothing about XML myself, would anyone be able to create a custom theater mode layout to look like this?

if no one is able to help you, i suggest you take the Rdio skin and remove the items you dont want.

So after a few hours of messing with the default view i ended up with this.



I was using the "BackgroundAlbumCover" element for the background. It seems to have the same issue that the rdio style has in that the darker albums covers have notable 'pixelation' for lack of a better word compared to the lighter covers.

I took some screengrabs to demonstrate what i mean here http://imgur.com/a/JfPg4
(The first two are fine for the most part but you can see how its more noticeable in the last 2 images)

Does anyone know if there is an alternative way to get the to get the album cover background to use the entirety of the width of the album cover like in the original post?

It's a known issue, sort of compression artifact. See this: http://getmusicbee.com/forum/index.php?topic=18566.msg111905#msg111905

An alternative approach would be to magnify album cover tens of thousands of times, which was my original approach before Steven implemented "BackgroundAlbumCover" element.
