I renamed the default database to a different name and moved it to a different drive, then double clicked on it to open it.

(cool) Hector wrote:Me too I've searched inspiration by looking at the media centers. Fanarts and background backdrops are pretty sexy, sure. But if we used them inside Coollector, I don't think the result would be good. You can make some sketches, I doubt you'll come up with something usable.

Well, in my opinion, customizing the layout would be a totally useless feature. Unless someone makes me realize that some good things could be done, I fail to conceive anything good.
