I just spent a little time putting this together. Time to share
If you like them and want to see other category images added let me know.
You can update mappings for the images to category names in the class, and the class has 3 modes - first match, last match, or random match.
local bg = fe.add_artwork("snap", 0, 0, fe.layout.width, fe.layout.height);
local text = fe.add_text("[Title]", 0, 0, fe.layout.width, 75);
local genre_image = fe.add_image("images/unknown.png", fe.layout.width - 188, fe.layout.height - 170, 168, 150);
class GenreImage
{
mode = 1; //0 = first match, 1 = last match, 2 = random
supported = {
//filename : [ match1, match2 ]

local cat = " " + fe.game_info(Info.Category, var).tolower();
local matches = [];
foreach( key, val in supported )
