A BRIEF SUMMARY OF ACE

Ace has a design concept very different from what I had been doing in Aeon.
The Ace is a skin designed to be simple, clean and fast.
The concept of this skin textures were optimized to the maximum to make it light and small.
The Ace has only 13MB and is suitable for any device, from tablets to powerful HTPCs.
The sources have a size suitable for reading away from the skin and the layout is optimized for use with touch screens.
The Ace is now translated into 38 languages.
The Ace was written for XBMC Frodo.
All important Addons are installed automatically.

Image

WHAT ABOUT CUSTOMIZATION?

This skin brings the Generation 4 customization mode. Which is very simple to operate and works like any other window adjusting skin. Entered, changed, press 'return' or Esc and ready, everything is done.
Customization Generation 4, follows a concept that is different of everything I have ever done, everything runs very fast.

They are up to 25 new menus and 60 submenus!
The menus are predetermined, just set. The submenus follow the smart style, simply choose where you want to include and ready, very simple and fast.

You can't turn on the advanced portion of the settings menu with the regular Ace skin. But you can switch to confluence, turn it on and then switch back. I don't know of anything that may be different, though, and I don't actually know if the Gotham version lets you turn it on either.


RE: [RELEASE] Ace - Gotham - Wanilton - 2013-10-12

Skin Ace was update for work fine in gotham, not only for change levels in settings, but much more, follow new way for reference musicdb and videodb and much more.


RE: [RELEASE] Ace - Gotham - Koloss - 2013-10-19

I use this skin with raspberry Pi, my pi dynamic overclocked to 900mhz, when i look in systeminfo, the pi is always overclocked with 900mhz. In confluence the pi got to 700mhz in systeminfo.

Date in the left bottom edge refresh is always flickering, i think this is a big problem, when i disable thiis, the pi temperature is lower! 64°celsius disabled and 78°celsius emabled the "show datetime option" in idle mode

I think the pi working too much in background in this skin, can you change this?

Ace is best, beautiful skin in xbmc what i see!

Very good job!!!


RE: [RELEASE] Ace - Gotham - wouterdt - 2013-10-20

I've been playing around with mq5 and ace today on gotham. Both are awesome skins! I would love to see something with the styling of ace and the options of mq5, that would be the ultimate skin for me.


RE: [RELEASE] Ace - Gotham - tripkip - 2013-10-28

Marcos, could you make empty tv shows be shown as watched?

What I mean by empty tv show:
When I finished the current season and I want to save some space I delete the season xx folders in the tv show folder.
I don't want to remove the tv show folder itself because I'm not done with it and Sickbeard would just recreate that folder anyway.
XBMC doesn't show this show as watched although there is no single unwatched episode in it..
This is annoying when browsing the tv shows looking for something that you have not watched yet.

There is a control in advancedsettings.xml (wiki) that allows you to hide empty folders.
