I've always been a fan of Aeon Nox simply because it looks great without having to change anything. Being able to customize everything sounds nice but in my experience I usually don't customize anything. Nox 5 still looks great out of the box but it's quite a bit lighter and even runs great on a RPi.

I am not good at photoshop and since most of the albums i listen do not have cdart i got all the images online and so they are not perfect. Now when i play in AN5 i get the white around the cdart and i am trying to see if there is something in the skin that i can change so it does not show up. The reason i ask is i do not get this when using in MQ5 so i know there is a way to do this.

If it is not easy i understand but wanted to see if there is a file that i can modify. This will be easier for me than creating the 3000 pngs using photoshop :p

Thanks in advance

Shall i export to single file or multiple? (i have movies and tv shows on multiple HDD's in frodo)

I just want to keep the banners from tv shows and the covers from the movies (i edited them almost 1 by 1 )

Separate (not multiple). If you export to a single file, all you get is a xml.file. Separate creates an export of all information and all artwork. Only works if you have everything correctly set up, though. If you have all your movies in a single folder, it will become a mess.

economize on some code?

Code:

custom_1121...xml        
line 70:    <include>FallbackMenu</include>

So it is easy to make a alternative Inludes_Home.xml with own fallback and menus.

Cheers

I would have to make an extra include condition then in the fallbackmenu items, but that could work.
What's the benefit of having a different includes_home.xml?

Why an extra condition? I have test it with this include (FallbackMenu) and it works fine.
Ok the idea behind is. If somebody want mod the home menu, so you make a new includes_home.xml maybe includes_home2.xml.
In this new includes_home2.xml you can make a own FallbackMenu. Let me say why, for example a home menu like in Xperience1080
have not so many home menu entry but a lot of sub menu entry like in the panel. Or like in Droid it is the same.

Ok then you only make a conditional include in the home.xml and finish. And all menu settings are done.

With Nox 4 I used to have to use region 1/noflip 1000 to get 60 fps in all menus. In Nox 5 I get 60fps regardless so I don't know if it's even worth using or if XBMC has changed since then and doesn't recommend custom settings anymore.

The best we can say is NOX 5 is some kind of NOX 4 / CONFLUENCE unwanted son (with some Android genes).
Aeon Nox description 1st sentence is "Aeon Nox stands for eye candy and customization." but maybe this is no longer true regarding Nox 5.

I realy hope someone will do something with NOX 4 so it fully supports Gotham and implements all futur changes, even if that means to create a NOX replacement skin as NOX seems to replace Confluence itself.

All this basic graphics and functions from NOX 5 meant to be reactive on all these low capable Android devices and other rPI make me feel like we loose half of this previous skin version benefits.

If NOX 4 or some kind of suite wont fully work on Gotham i would rather keep Frodo than move on to NOX 5 (on its actual state of course).

I apologize to you BigNoid (as i'm more than gratefull for all the work you have done before) but NOX 5 really isn't for me, and it was also the opinion of all my friends when i showed them last/new version differences.

Funny, I was thinking the exact same thing but didn't want to say anything because it may be construed as disrespectful....Aeon Nox, Eye Candy, AE5 not so much, it's like a redo of other unenhanced skins..no disrespect meant
