Regards to Big_Noid and thank you very much for the development.
I just switched recently to Aeon NOX and must say this skin is now my favorite. It absolutely fits all my scenarios i use XBMC for. Expecially for all that customisation options.
Before I was using bundled confluence with all the changes i need for playlists done manually directly in skin xml files.
Despite of above may I dare to list some extra wishes to the skin functionality. I apologize in advance in case these topics were already discussed before. I went through entire thread reading all the 148 pages but could have missed something.
1.Most critical for me - I really suffer without Wide List view mode as it provided with confluence skin. It would be extremely fantastic to add it to AEON NOX. For myself I have changed ListView.xml to make this view wide just removing big poster and changing the with of the title are. While small posters i have added to the list replacing studio logos.
This view is used for some video streaming addons, especially for IPTV, where posters represent tv chanel logos, so have to be placed in front of each line in the list. And title appears to be very long representing time, name, cast, plot in single string. Perfect solution would be to add another Wide List view, do you think it is possible?
2. I am using smart playlists a lot and I like to place them in submenu. My small complain is about the size of submenus. Is possible to add an option of bigger sub menu as it is done for home menu. Sub menu with 50% height respect home menu would be just fine.
3. Absolutely not important but just a matter of taste. Rotating switch of movies and episodes widget between posters and plot view is a fantastic idea. But i would prefer to have rotation in vertical direction not horizontal. Will look less "massive" the animation plus we have to press up and down to switch, so vertical rotation is intuitively expected. Same for artist slideshow widget.
Then there are some bugs i noticed. Currently i am on Eden stable release with NOX 3.0.0.1337127873
1. extended info widget for video playing in backgroud. There is an overwlapping of 2 columns for plot and cast. And i agree with some users that font size for artist biography should be increased, as well as for plot and cast for video playing. Maybe widget width can be increased in order to fit bigger font.
2. I have some problems with weather page. Can not get working Weather Underground provider. Looks like the skin thinks that this is Weather plus plugin, in side panel shows all the options for 10days, 36 hours, weekend forecast with maps option. Like it was for Weather Plus. The only plugin which works for me is Weather Online but i do not like it.
3. Small feature. When navigating in side quick navigation panel, pressing left just closes this panel returning to sidepanel open. But when pressing right it closes quick nav panel, closes sidepanel and opens side panel again. All with animation affect thus resulting in some unnecessary open close animation for sidepanel.
Thats it for the moment.
Thank you again.
