First off, thanks for AN5 (and al previous AN before that). Love the skin!

Now the question...

Is it possible to specify a path where the cd-wall visualisation gets the tumbnails to use.
I believe this was possible before but I can't find anywhere to provide that in AN5.

I used to have a combination of cd cover tumbnails and artist tumbnails but currently it seems to fetch the cd covers from the db and shows some generic icon for albums without a cover. Not pretty :-(

Can't remember for sure, but I think CD Art Manager will let you add custom art to your db.

thanks for the tip. I could indeed create some custom covers for the albums that are missing one and use cd art manager to import them into the db, if that is what you mean.
That would get rid of the ugly generic thumbs but unfortunately this doesn't solve my problem.

By being able to specify a path for the thumbnails to use, I have full control over what goes in there and how the background cd-wall will look like. As mentioned before, I used to have a combination of album covers and artist thumbnails.
I also might want to exclude certain covers from appearing, eg, I own a fair amount of compilation albums and most of those covers are just 'not cool' enough to be on the wall.

So if anyone knows where to specify the path (or how to mod aeon 5 to be able to specify a path) I would love to hear it.

I do love Aeon NOX and the cd-wall is a big part of the reason I do. So hopefully someone can help.

turns out that how the CD Wall visualization is composed has been completely rewritten in Aeon Nox 5. Unfortunately it means you can no longer specify a path to a set of images to use. So I attempted to re-create the 'old school' CD Wall myself and by recreate I mean, take the original work of Ronie and make it fit into the masterpiece that is Aeon Nox 5.

I'm not a skinner by any measure, but it works for me.

Just copy over the existing ones. You might want to take a backup of the skin folder first just to make sure and to allow easy roll back.

Who knows, maybe the Aeon team might consider adding this back to the skin if there is enough love for it.
