MediaBrowser > Folder icon change

Hi,

I would like to change how the folder view looks in MediaBrowser. Especially the white folder icon.
Image
Here you can see that I have three albums. All of them has white folder logo on them. When Album has cover art I propose the white folder icon is not shown.
White folder icon distracts how album covers look and it would make a difference how user sees the albums.

To define when to show white folder icon program could check if the folder has folder.jpg, cover.jpg or whateverimage.jpg.
If Serviio gets folder images from actual music files, mp3/FLAC/whatever is supported then this is okay as well.

If proper image is not found Serviiio would act as it is now and show that grey box with white folder image.

I have written this Music folders in my mind but obviously this could and should be implemented on videos and images as well.

The folder view is accessed like so (In my example although path is not visible in the image) MediaBrowser > Home / Audio / Folders / XXX / YYY / ZZZ / Genre.

The whole meaning is to get prettier and more professional view.

It's there to clearly say that it's a container, which is useful in the Folders view.

Hello,

Is there any way to adjust the color quality of the folder icon? (it looks a bit washed-out), maybe adjust the gamma when it renders this?
As for the white folder outline the previous person was asking about, can the white folder outline be enlarged to take up the border of the poster? this way you can still make the determination that its a folder, and not disrupt the artwork,..just a thought.

thanks,
J.
