Hi guys

&nbsp;

I was wondering if "Set section background" could be added to web manager's Edit section dialog box. Makes it easier to differentiate sections on home screen, especially for younglings.

I'd like to see something like this as well, or, even better, an option to specify that a sections content should never be used as random backgrounds outside of that section. This is something that would be of benefit for those of us who have "movies" ;) that we'd prefer were not seen by children etc...

Yes, another reason as to why I don't use Plex/Web. &nbsp;But apparently I will be forced to use it if I want to upgrade.
