Better collection artwork? - tin - 2024-04-06

I'm a bit new here, so maybe I'm just blind or an idiot... I've enabled the automatic collections feature to keep things like the Die Hard series and the Batman/Dark Knight series listed together instead of ending up alphabetized away from their sequels... Working great... 

My question is... Is it possible to automatically have a more obvious artwork for collections? What I'm thinking is simply a red bar across the top or bottom that has "collection" written on it (can this be done with a simple custom CSS?). Or maybe something fancier like fanning out several of the posters for the items inside it.


I know there's a blue dot with the number, but this isn't working for me. I didn't even notice Austin Powers had it, for example, because it's almost the same colour as the blue background of the Goldmember poster.

By default it tries to import collection images from your metadata providers. You can also upload custom images to any collection. You'd just need to find another program to generate your banners on top of the images.

CSS is a potential option, but it would only work on the web based clients. Any of the native clients (android tv, roku, kodi, etc) wouldn't make use of any css modifications.
