Hi guys,

First of all, very nice forum. Smile

I am new here and only installed Plex yesterday evening. I quickly found the default skin to be very hard work and found a link to the Aeon project website.

Can anyone tell me how I go about setting up Aeon to look as it does on their home page please?

I have installed the Aeon skin but I am greeted with a very rudimentary looking interface that looks nothing like the subtle grey's and black's that are on the home page of Aeon. Am i missing a trick somewhere, do I just need to change a setting somewhere to make Aeon look like this?

Any help greatly appreciated.

Many thanks,

As I say I'm new to plex, I've just thought, could it be just backgrounds I need to download?

How do I get the specific background for the movie I am viewing in the menu before I play it? Smile

Each menu item can have its own backdrop which you set in

Settings > Customize > Backdrops

Great, thanks Smile.

When I watch demo videos of Aeon though, I see people are able to access a synopsis of the movie, and a background specific to each movie.

How do I do that please? Smile

Can't say for plex as i dont use it, perhaps you would be better asking in their forums?

If you were using xbmc, this would be a good place to start:

Basically you need to scan content into your library.

Thanks for your help guys. After 4 hours of trying to set up AEON I have finally given up, I can't get it to look anything like it does on screenshots and videos I have seen.

Here is a youtube video of how I want it to look, mine looks nothing like this out of the box.

Can anyone tell me if AEON and AEON STARK are the same thing as AEON STARK is all I can download from the Aeonproject website.

Thanks
