Greetings!
I thought it may be helpful to have a guide that shows and explains all the different versions of this great skin.
Aeon Nox 5
What Kodi Version:
Jarvis/Krypton
Current Status:
Active
What is it:
Aeon Nox 5 is a skin by BigNoid, it represents a departure from the normally heavy graphical path of previous versions. It is more of a minimalist version that is fast and highly optimized. It is also the official version of Aeon Nox and can be found in the XBMC.org repository.

Madnox
What Kodi Version:
Jarvis/Krypton
Current Status:
Active
What is it:
From the author:
The idea behind this started out as me simply attempting to learn how to skin and apply my own mods to Shednox, but after a while the amount of mods I'd made meant it was proving difficult to maintain and also offer my mods to Shdenox as work had stopped on Shednox and it was not possible to consider having my mods pulled into Shednox.
So, due to this I made the stupid decision of creating my own mod of Nox, Shednox, whichever is the basis, and as such Madnox was born. Since then schimi2k and I have done extensive work both on the code and graphic sides in the hope of improving the mod.
Also, it was noticed that the latest incarnations of Nox, have been designed to be cleaner, less CPU intensive in their operation. Please note this is not wrong these skins are excellent in their own right and done by some seriously skilled skinners so there work / direction should not be questioned.
But, saying that I felt there was room for the other end of the spectrum i.e. a version of Nox (Shdenox) that offered all the eye candy i.e. posters, disc, logos, clear art etc. etc. but the downfall from this is that this mod will probably require hardware at the high end of the CPU spectrum. I don't know if it would work on devices like Pi's etc. at the lower end of the CPU spectrum.

I've decided to merge my livetv-mod for Aeon Nox 5 into a standalone skin (forked). I'll try to keep the skin up to date with BigNoid's updates as much as I can, while adding my improvments on the LiveTV section. The skin is AN 5.6.0 with the latest version of my mod (0.8). I have also included the White-theme that I created a while back. Big thanks to BigNoid for such an amazing skin.

Skin MOD - Aeon Nox for 2.35/Scope Projector screens (Zoomed CIH)
What Kodi Version:
Helix
Current Status:
Active
What is it:
From the author:
Hi,
Ok not sure how much interest there is in something like this but as I have it mostly done I thought I'd stick it in here. First off, love BigNoids skin. I've been using it for a long time. But the issue I had made me start looking into modding it myself.
I have a CIH Projector setup on a 2.35 screen. BigNoid is working on 21:9 version of the skin which unfortunately doesn't work for some CIH users, like myself. Those who can get their system to output a custom resolution will likely be able to use BigNoids skin. But in my case that didn't work.
Who this is for :
Those of us who output 1920x1080 on our projectors and zoom the image to fill a 2.35/scope screen and cannot use custom resolutions. This will make the Aeon Nox fit the format of our scope screens and not need to zoom out and have side bars.
The skin has been modded so that all the gui is within the 800pixel image on a scope screen. I have widened some views and made some fonts smaller. The reason for making some of them smaller is that only people with projectors would be using this so it will be on a large screen.
As mentioned its mainly repositioning. I have also added in a scope mask. This can be used where movies (like Interstellar, Dark Knight etc) change aspect ratios throughout the movie. If you want to view the movie in 2.35 then you can toggle the 2.35 (21:9) mask on and off. This will cover the top and bottom with black bars meaning you will not notice the shift in aspect ratio and the image spilling out of the screen.
I am unable to test PVR fully at the minute but on looking at the code, PVR add ons would need to be individually done as they have their own layout xmls.
