MC has 4 different sets of independent views to configure and they're used for different purposes:
MC has five primary View modes, which change the overall look and operation of Media Center for different uses. These are:


[[Standard View]] - the desktop front-end
* [[Standard View]] - the primary user interface designed for use on a desktop computer
* Mini View - this is a small-sized interface designed to be used while doing other work on the computer.
* Theater View - the interface designed for use from a large-screen and remote, such as with a Home Theater PC.
* Display View - this is the full-screen playback mode of Media Center.
* Cover View - this is a full-screen version of Standard View, without any additional window chrome.


Media Center can also be accessed by network devices through its [[Media Network]] features. These systems can have their own customized views separate from those used by the primary View modes.
Theater View (the 10' interface)

DLNA (for DLNA/UPnP devices)

Web Services (for remote control applications like Gizmo, Web Gizmo and JRemote)


Therefore if you've customised views in Standard View the way you want them, you need to make the same changes to Web Services in Tools/Options/Media Network/Advanced/Customise Views for Gizmo. If you have indeed customised Standard View views then you can copy them into Gizmo using that facility (and delete the default ones), or if you've simply edited the display fields in Standard View then you'll hgave to set up your Gizmo views manually. Basically, probably all you need to do is find the relevant category in Gizmo Views and change the Album Artist to Artist as desired.
