I've changed my layout now. Seeing Zwollenaar's layout gave me an idea. So I started from Ken's banner layout, and modified it a bit for widescreen. Still used on 1680x1050



Now if only I could overlay the collection number in the lower right corner of the cover images at the top, that would be awesome! 

Nothing fancy, resolution 1680x1050:

How do you import the imdb dbase in an window ?

That is described in this thread.

On page 1 you'll find how to create a link only, on page 2 is a window with the IMDb page loaded within a HTML window.

Just be sure if you are going to import IMDb data that you keep it locally ONLY. Do NOT Contribute.

ROFL, Skip's Contribution Radar made a false positive

... and one thing I learned from trying and trying to get the windows where I wanted them, is that you can also "stretch" them to their place  Just drag it apart and then stretch the edges of the now-separated-window until it will be on its allotted space...

But, come on, nobody willing to give me the clue about how to "flatten" the windows? Pete, your windows (all of them!) seem to be nicely flat, with grey top-edge and simple black closing "X" on top right corner. If you look my screen captures, you will notice that my windows are different. Active windows have the blue top-edge and the "X" on top-right corner is a button. Do you know how those windows can be flattened? TIA for help.

Draxen, could it be related to the way your Windows is set up...? Pete seems to have the regular XP style window, while your's looks different...

I think it might be... because I never did anything to them.

@Pete & Achim: (I actually referred to "Pistol Pete" with my message  )

Thanks for your tip, but it wasn't the solution here - please see my latest screen cap below. I changed from "Windows Classic"-them to the basic "Windows XP" theme, and then restarted the DVDP. All the windows there are still active, but the-basic-xp-style active...

And I DID have all the windows nice and flat with the default layout, before I did anything myself, but once I started dragging and moving the windows from place to place, they changed to these "active" ones and now I simply would like to dock them to their places the way e.g. Pistol Pete has them; normal windows with flat, grey edges.




I think RossRoy's terminology here is spot on. The windows I describe as "active" are indeed not docked and "floating". I'm sure there must be some keyboard combination to dock a window to its place, if anyone knows it, please let me know (Not the most important thing in the world, but one that annoys me way too much

To dock windows, I just wait until the snap into place. I know of no secret key combo.
