Just updated to RC1 to try this skin out. I love so much of it, it makes the losses that much greater.
Logo view for TV shows lived, excellent, but the matching Episode View did not. They were so elegant together. The list view is sort of similar, I suppose, but the lack of the giant unnecessary panel is what made the Logo/Episode views in Nox 4 stand out. I hope the Episode view will be considered for addition later.
I also kind of miss all the useful information on the pause screen. I loved the combination of the poster and movie info. It was nice to see all that info at a quick glance when paused.
Looks like a great skin, and I do like the lighter weight, but really lament some of the things that didn't make the cut.

@gizmotoy: Yeah, Episode view seems to be missed by quite a few people. For me it was one of the views looks great on first glance, but doesnt fit this version of the skin because of a couple of reasons:
- the full height right side list doesnt go well with the transition animation I use.
- That same list is in the way of the scrolling letter (it would be the only view that does that).
And personally I always hated the way the plot scrolled inside the focused item.
If you want a view with lots of fanart exposure, try out lowlist and toggle it in the lower position.

How about the Big List as seen in skin Amber? It's a bit similar as episode view. I think it will look really nice on aeon nox.
I was also wondering if you will put back in other widgets, like the posters in AN4.

I dont know that view, I'll might install Amber and have a look.
There is room for other widget types that show more posters/icons in an overview and it shouldnt take too much extra code. I do have to find a good one, cause the old poster and panel widgets got a bit too flashy for this version.

One thing. On the first page what are you using to show disc art for x-men for example

I noticed Nox 5 is now available through the XBMC repository. It includes 'slim list' support. Thanks a lot BigNoid for addressing it so quickly!
I've been playing around with 5.0.3 and it looks fantastic.
@BigNoid: if I may, I'd like to request three more features for the music videos section:
1) show the artist name in addition to the title in the info screen, if the artist info is present in the database.
2) same as 1 goes for the info on the progress bar
3) widgets for recent and random music videos
Should I report/suggest this elsewhere?
Thank you all for contributing to this superb skin, and keep up the good work!

Thanks for the quick response bignoid! Aeon nox was the reason I chose xbmc over plex. Keep up the great work!

Same problem from me : when I choose to install Aeon Nox from the Extension/Skin menu, the download doesn't start, stays at 0% for a few seconds and finally stops
Restarted Windows and worked ...
