Here is a link to someone who has my exact problem, but no answers for him:

I am having this problem after upgrading from 2.3 to 2.6. I also use MetaBrowser for metadata, not sure if it matters.

Here is a screenshot to show you, not only is the backdrop appearing in the General tab, but so is the movie description. It’s as if it is loading the entire page inside the tab.

Following up on this with more info:

If I go into the Configurator and change the Default theme color scheme to BLACK I get this:

If I go into the Configurator and change the Default theme color scheme to Extender Default I get this:

Hopefully this helps someone figure out what is going on here…

I just noticed… the words PLAY, RESUME, REFRESH, etc.. are not showing up either unless I hover them. What’s wrong with the default theme in 2.6??

it looks like the references to a few images arent working. it’s hard to say looking at my phone. This doesn’t happen for everyone so the real question is what makes your setup unique. – Redshirt 12 months ago
The imageshack images aren’t working? I can upload them elsewhere if need be. – Baja Resident 12 months ago

I don’t think it’s your backdrop showing up in the tabs. Close MB and Delete Fonts_DoNotEdit.mcml and Styles_DoNotEdit.mcml from your C:\ProgramData\MediaBrowser directory. It’s a hidden folder by default.

It’s definitely the backdrops because every 7 seconds it changes to the next backdrop image. This occurs in both tabs. I will try deleting those files and report back. – Baja Resident 12 months ago

ok, in that image it’s very clear it’s the backdrop in the tabs.. I’ll have a look at the source and see if I can come up with a reason why. – Redshirt 12 months ago

Do you have any files in your programdata/mediabrowser directory called custom_styles or custom_fonts? If so, try deleting them.

If not, this may be some sort of corruption of the dll resources. Can you replicate it on any other machine?

No, I don’t have any “custom” named files in that directory. I don’t have another machine I could easily replicate it on. If I did install it anywhere else it wouldn’t be an upgrade from 2.3 like it is on my HTPC. I guess I could always delete everything related and reinstall, but I didn’t really want to do that unless I had to. – Baja Resident 12 months ago
I don’t know what else to try. This is obviously a very edge case of some sort as it has only been reported twice in a number of years. Looks like a corruption of something… – ebr 12 months ago

I just switched over to the Diamond theme instead of the default. it’s too bad because I liked how the default theme looked similar to the rest of Media Center. Maybe next time I upgrade I will just delete everything from scratch and do a clean installation.

Is there a way to easily skin Media Center now? I noticed Media Center Studio is all out of date and it seems like no one is working on anything actively.

Have you tried uninstalling MB and then re-installing? You won’t lose any settings.

Thought I had this issue on my WMC box. Could not replicate on my main desktop. Tried everything including uninstall/delete all/reboot and re-install. Could not get it to go away on this latest version update. Turns out in my case the latest version is not compatible with Terminal Services. Never had an issue in past but with this version I cannot test backdrops as well as movie playback remotely.
