Collection woes

[skynet600 33]

I know there has been significant discussion on this topic.  I am writing this seperate topic as I am simply struggling to make sense of it and hopefully it will help others in the same boat.

 

I like the clean look of the no legacy type view as it gives you a simply list of your collections.  However I am struggling with the lower level views like Genre, collections etc.  Let my explain with images.

 

Here in the left image you can see I have sub-views enabled which from the description makes me think I get Genre, collections etc within the Movies view from the EHS.  This does not appear to be the case and all I get is my full movies list. For the right image I do get the required views with these checked.  First question really is why the two sets of options?  What is the significance of each?

 

 

Now that I have those views I want they look awful with the mix of no icon at all in the case of Genre to the new imagemagic type ones for collections and resume.  How can I achieve a uniform look here?  By the way as you can see I have played with IBN images with favourites.  This is the only item with a custom image and backdrop. My IBN stems from years of past MB tweaks so I assume I can just add a folder for each of these to the "General" folder in IBN and provide a folder and backdrop image?  I guess the likes of collections and resume in this case is made up for my due to the lack of IBN config?  If this is the case why no backdrops either?  Also why no treatment of Genre?

 

 

And then if I go into Genre I can see further oddities with icons even though I have full IBN for each genre in view below.  Again why are some icons affected and some not?  Why if IBN is in play are any of the icons being treated differently?
