Simzer0, you have done a great job. I have a couple of questions to you and to the skinners, if they are following this thread:
1. Will the studio logos get mixed up with the skin background ?(The white transparent ones don't get, as they are white in color....i suppose.) I use a lot of skins from time to time like T!, Simplicity, reFocus, Alaska revisited,......... which all varied background and skin color.
2. Will colored logos be going to used in the upcoming changes made in Eden with regard to skins and use of flags?
Colored logos will be useful in saving time in creating them and would be easy to maintain.
By the way, Simzer0, this is the Aeon skin thread......You should move this thread to
http://forum.xbmc.org/forumdisplay.php?fid=71
which would be easy and helpful to all the users.

WoW! These look great! If the studio/media flags do become addons, this pack will be one of them
Great stuff Simzer0..Yep your right bandelguy, some of the black images/lettering does gets lost on a dark/diffused background. They needs a small white dropshadow, but this is a great start

Hi,
Choque Wrote:mad-max, I'm running openELEC (kinda like XBMC Live from the file structure) with Aeon MQ2, could you please tell me where to put these Logos? As I searched for a "skins" folder and couldn't find a thing. I'd really appreciate your help
the user installed skins you find in /storage/.xbmc/addons on OpenELEC :-)

I'm working on right now but I wanted to see if it was interesting for someone.
I chose to post here because i test the logos only on Aeon65 dark, I was not sure that went well everywhere.
(google translator, sry for my language :sad

Just a question. I'm using Aeon MQ 2 and in the /media/ folder of the skin there's only one file called "textures.xbt".
If I copy all the pics to that folder, Aeon won't use them and if I delete the "textures.xbt" Aeon looks like crap (all the backgrounds are gone etc.)
So what am I missing?

Aeon mq2 use one single files for all texture of the skin i presume, is not possible to modify the studios logo.
I don't know if is possible to open this files sry.
- bandelguy - 2011-05-04 19:54
Choque, you need to ask Marcos about adding studio flags. Textures.xbt already have the required white flags, the skin uses them by default. If you want to try the colored logos, you should try Aeon, or any other skin of your choice provided that skin doesn't use textures.xbt

Simzer0, awesome work and thanks for posting; these flags look phenomenal!
A question, if you don't mind: I actually have a number of high-res studio logo images as well which I'd be happy to make flags out of and help contribute - any tips on how to go about creating these (in regards to resizing, transparencies, etc)? I know my way around photoshop, but I'm no expert, I'm afraid

Assuming you're using 2.8.1, check out the link in this post: http://forum.xbmc.org/showpost.php?p=787721&postcount=3997
In short, delete textures.xbt, replace the media folder with the uncompressed version linked above, and you can change around flags as you like.

Have you also downloaded the uncompressed textures from http://mod-skin.googlecode.com/files/media-2.8.1.zip?
EDIT:Sorry for double post...this morning I can not open my eyes so far :-)
