When i select a playlist the skin automatically create a 2nd combined playlist pointing to the original(or even a brand new one) that adds a limit of 10 and the sorting and use that playlist to run the widget and the background cases.. Is this possible to do or it is too tricky to implement?

Not sure how that happened, but more importantly, can't figure out how to get Artist Slideshow to run. I like having the pictures it downloads of the artists on screen while my music plays. Do I need to go grab the version of 4.1.9 that's being ported to Gotham, or is Nox 5 going to get Artist Slideshow support? If there are no plans for AS, that's fine - it's the only plug-in I care about, and I'll switch skins to keep it.I'm pretty sure it didnt update itself to Nox 5 throuh official channels. Artist slidshow is supported by default in visualization. Choose fanart in the music viz settings to enable it.

The lack of movie cases makes them difficult to pick-out in large wall views such as icons.Yeah, I'd recommend not grouping buy sets in your library for now. I'm searching for a good way to implement sets overlay, but it could take a while.
Also, when choosing "sets" from the videos submenu, all potential movie sets are listed as opposed to only those that have multiple movies. This is a deficiency in all skins I've used that could be improved. In a catalog of 320 movies, for example, I am presented with over 70 movie sets, but only 15 or so have partial or completed sets within that series. The others should be excluded as they are not "sets" of items.
Despite the criticism, having played with other skins, I approve of your artistic intent. In most views, with most media, this skin is superior to all others I've tried.
Thanks.
What you describe for the sets is basically XBMC behavior and not something skinners can change.

I appreciate this is a work in progress (and some of these points might already have come up and been discussed) but here's my observations so far:-Pictures views will be added in time. CD cases background probably too. You can create any type of dvd cases background you want with the playlist option, including random items.
1. Custom sub-menu items difficult to create
In the old Aeon Nox I have a menu item for Now Playing, with sub menu items "Play DVD" "Eject DVD" "Rip CD" etc. These were really easy to build as Aeon Nox had a quick access to a whole bunch of built-in functions right in the editor. However with the new skin I have to manually set custom menu items by typing in commands.
Is there any chance that either an autocomplete function or a just a drop down list of common commands is coming? otherwise I think I'll go mad setting up all my custom sub menus
2. No Icon view in Pictures any more
I have a main menu item for pictures and another for videos (home movies, clips of the kid etc). I'd love to be able to browse these quickly with thumbnails.
3. No Live CD Cases background any more
I use the Live DVD cases and Live CD cases as backgrounds on the appropriate main menu items in Frodo, I'd love to see this come back
4. No Random Live DVD Cases background any more
I see only options for recent or a playlist. I prefer just simple old Random (and the same goes for Live CD cases above), would be very happy if this is coming back
5. No Small Shift view in Movies any more
Nearly all of the movie view options block out a large proportion of my fan art. On Frodo I used the Shift view, with small cases. This worked brilliantly as I could see at least 66% of the fanart while scrolling through my movies. At the moment I'm using ShowCase but its a poor substitute.
See what I mean :-)
(2014-03-15, 12:31)davew_uk Wrote: Just noticed this also - in the new skin is there a way to set the default/fallback fan art? in my Album view I can see the default fanart looks to be my movie menu background, not the background I have set for the Music main menu item.Just tested setting a custom folder for music as background and if no fanart is available it shows image from that folder as fallback. So i dont know why that doesnt work for you. Fallback music not working is probably a bug.
It's the same in Artist view when browsing the thumbs, but if you bring up the artist detail screen and there's no fanart for that artist its just blank:
I am using the old Aeon Nox backgrounds (unchanged) as a Multi-Image background which I have set at main menu item level. In the old Nox it used fallback_music.jpg, has that functionality gone?

I have smart playlists but it would still be nice if each movie showed if it was 3D or not. Even at the bottom where it shows 1080p, DTS, etc would be fine. Is the only way to add custom art somehow? I've noticed in Confluence that the movies show a 3D logo along with the resolution and studio format.
In list and Tripanel view it should show a 3d flag in the list. For other views it should show in the flags in next version, I forgot to add the flag.

I've done so. No results
