These skins/mods look absolutely incredible. I'm very eager to try them out. My only issue is the links provided to download don't seem to work for me. When I follow them, they go to github, but that page loads "with errors" and the download button doesn't work. Any advice?

Oops.. I had a link to a test branch that I no longer use.. The master branch should be fine. I've had problems using the 'download' button for github in the past.. Sometimes I have to download the file 10 times until I get one that works.. Haven't had any problems using Git Gui though..

Tension -- thank you for this mod.
I'm a comic/videogame author by trade. I've been using ComicRack for about a year or so -- it has become a godsend for managing my digital comic collection. The amount of cross-referencing and research I can get done has saved me countless hours. My netbook is used almost solely for this purpose.
But my vision is terrible and my neck is cramped -- the next step is getting these suckers working just as well on my 42" Television without slaving over a mouse and keyboard.
After playing around with your mod for the better portion of the evening, I noticed an issue where it seems to remove background art functionality from the Main Menu.
Is there something I'm missing?
Also, while I love the mod, I'm not too keen with all of the additional bloatware that's been thrown into the mix. Your mod is nice and clean, but due to some of the bugs present in the others (i.e. only list view works for TV Shows), it makes it less appealing to use.
I know that this mod is just beginning to get some legs (and that the user base is still small), but the addition of some ease-of-use features that aren't present in the Pictures section would be awesome.
Examples:
Disabling Slideshow Timer
2 Page Viewing
Ability to turn the page without adjusting zoom level
And just for good measure -- the ability to set thumbs for each folder manually.
So far this mod is the best addition to XBMC aside from Aeon itself -- and destined to be the highlight of my HTPC rig.
Keep up the great work -- I look forward to the next update!!

Any chance you plan to update this mod to work with Auriga? I tried installing it in Auriga, even though it was not designed for it, and it obviously did not work. I got the menu, etc... but lost a lot of other stuff. I even went as far as to try figuring out what needed to be changed, but had no luck.

Not sure what you mean there.. Auriga is what this mod is based on.. Don't copy over any files, just use a separate skin folder and it's fine.. I lost interest in updating this though for now.. There was too much going on with Aeon by too many people at once.. Plus I still can't view comic thumbnails the way I'd like, so this is pretty outdated I'm sure compared to the other mods..

I'm having an odd problem. I downloaded your mod in its entirety, and placed it in its own folder (named Aero Tension) within the skins folder, and it was easily selectable. Unfortunately for me, when I try and set the backdrops for each of the home screens (i.e. Comics, Movies, etc.) to a common rotation, it will navigate to the appropriate folder, but the backdrops are not shown. All I ever get is a black screen. If I switch over to the original Aero, it works fine.
Did I do something wrong?

Not sure what that's about.. Haven't seen that happen.. Although I've noticed when switching between different Aeon skin mods, I sometimes need to switch the skin, exit Xbmc, and then restart Xbmc.. Otherwise strange things can happen..
I scrapped this version and applied all the comic stuff to Andyblac's latest showmix, this week.. I can upload it somewhere if anyone's interested..
