The icon image is shared between skins, so that's entirely expected behaviour (there have been minor complaints about this before due to different visual styles of skins, so this will change in the next release...). But the icon image is designed to be displayed in an icon main menu layout, not as the background image...

The thumb property is primarily for the image the user selects as icon image (as $INFO[ListItem.Icon] will grab the thumb if its there before using the icon - so the user choice is always respected). Backgrounds are best handled with Skin Shortcuts inbuilt functions - https://github.com/BigNoid/script.skinshortcuts/blob/master/resources/docs/advanced/Managing%20backgrounds.md - which allow setting a range of backgrounds to choose from, using playlists as backgrounds, default backgrounds for menu items and integrates nicely with the background options Skin Helper provides; or with a custom property.

It's probably also worth having a fallback background within the skin itself, if a menu item doesn't have a background defined in the overrides.xml - which custom menu items won't if coming from another Skin Shortcuts-utilising skin.

The new artwork is already getting admiring looks - thanks again for your work on it

@Mr Silvo - Check you've got the latest version of the fix branch I linked to a short while ago (I found another issue!), and if you've edited the menu whilst using MadNox, delete the skin.aeon.madnox.properties file in the script.skinshortcuts directory - between the two, that should load all the default properties when the menu then gets rebuilt. And if it doesn't, I'll take another pass at the code this evening, time allowing.

Is there a way to get Passion-XBMC into Jarvis, or another way to get the addons?

Cheers guys for all your work.
