@Slipass I'll take a look at the Live Backgrounds but if that is the only issue when using a low performance device then... Why not just avoid using that option?

That's a good question. The backgrounds are an important "trademark" of Madnox for me and I just love them.

In your mod of Aeon Nox 5 I have no problems on low power GPUs. So I have some hope.
Unfortunately, a few small features at Madnox are better for me than at Nox 5

Is there anything missing from the SiLVO version that is not in MadNox? Just wondering if I can save time by just adding my xmls and changing them to work with MadNox...

 So I don't miss anything Explicitly on the LiveDVD background at first glance.

It is important that the Smartplaylists can be displayed as LiveDVD Background.
I can also test it if you send me the data before it is loaded on GITHUB.

At Aeon Nox SiLVO I miss some little things like the discarts and cases for TV shows etc. For more details, I'd have to take a look tonight.    

• No cases in the TV series in the LiveBackground
  

• Cases in the TV series in the view: LowList only in the first level - not continuous fort he seasons and episodes
  

• Date indication for the series in the view: LowList is too confusing
  
• The font for the TV information etc. too large and therefore only little info text at once (no space)
  
• No fake disc in the view: LowList for tv series
  

• No fanarts at the InfoPanal in view ShowCase at movies - update: my mistake its possible
  
• Not possible to deactivate the hole Fanart Background
  
• Navigation cannot be fixed in the ShowCase movie view
  
• No Fake Disc Art
  

• No channel logos on Live TV in the large window
  
• Station logos for LiveTV on the right-hand side only
  

• No 3D boxes for music
  

• In the main menu no date display at the top

I did not mean replace all xml's with SiLVO versions just the Live Backgrounds part you were talking about. All those extra options you mentioned could be the reason that you see performance issues. Aeon MadNox is a heavy skin. Even in the first post and all subsequent comments from Mike_Doc and schimi acknowledge that as being the case.

The MadNox rewrite from Mr. V is the one that will perform better on all devices. I can try to optimize but my plan is currently to only update the skin to work on new Kodi versions. I will do my best to make it perform "better" but this skin is Mike_Doc and schimi's baby so anything that might need to be removed is not something I will consider without Mike's approval or opinion on the matter.

I hope that what I am trying to do here with @Mike_Doc, @bsoriano, and @meowmoo will help Mr. V with his rewrite. I will gladly help there as well if I can but currently I prefer to assist and not lead the way. I have my own skin where I am the BOSS so I want Mike_Doc to tell me if he has any issues with any changes and Mr. V to tell me what he would like me to work on. With Aeon MadNox I am OK with working on whatever cause Mike has given me his OK to do so but with MadNox I need to know what I can do vs. what I cannot.

Personally I find it "easier" ATM to adapt current code but I can say that the most recent version of the updated MadNox is really good, no..., Like REALLY good. Mr. V's latest update to the base skin is just phenomenal

My only "issue" is using VAR's for only two values. Due to the VAR issue in previous Kodi version. I prefer to have at least a 3 or more valued VAR, obviously there are always exception but that is my "general" rule ATM...

P.S. I do this myself in some places so it is not a complaint or anything, just an observation.

@bobrap I do not see an issue at all on Leia. Do you mean the InfoPanel or something? Can you please post a screenshot and a new debug log (wiki) with all settings enabled while entering TriPanel view where the issue is.

EDIT: @bobrap something appears to be wrong with your install. I recommend deleting all MadNox folders and using SmartGit to clone the repo. You can then update without having to download each time there is a skin change.

If you need help just let me know.

Thanks mike for you kind words. I hope to push an update on git in the next few weeks, any feedback will be great.

@mikeSiLVO and @Slipass 

As you said Mike, Aeon Madnox is a heavy skin.

A compatibility update and other fixes for Leia may not be enough to make it run smooth on low spec systems. I spent some time looking at the the code for Aeon Madnox and the amount of changes required for a huge performance boost may not be possible with out re-coding the whole skin. On the other side, the git changes from mike, will improve the performance on lower spec system like Ordroid or Pi Zero. If it is enough time will tell.

The suspects i believe are (a big list), string compares, color picker, duplicate textures, variables with in variables within variables ect. , includes within includes within includes ect. , too many visibility conditions, too many animations, too may scripts pulling info from the web, bloated fonts, bloated localized strings and too big textures, hence the 300mb+ skin size. This pretty much sums up the whole skin from a coding perspective.

The end result is a skin that requires good cpu power and good memory. What ever the system specs required atm i am unsure of.

@Slipass 
V2 is in the works. It may take six months, it may take a year. ArieS and myself are getting the alpha version ready for the community. Everything mentioned, i have taken into consideration for performance of low spec systems. Time will tell.

@All
Right now!!!, we have Mike's improved version of Aeon Madnox, who is doing a great job in improving the skin and performance. Feature complete and running rather well on higher spec systems. https://github.com/mikesilvo164/skin.aeon.madnox
