Is this a known problem?

Sounds like you haven't calibrated the screen properly to me.
m5a5l3m Wrote:Look at the above picture. When I am on Movies / Pictures screen and try to change the Sort / View options in the horizontal menu, I have no way of returning back to the vertical menu (list of files, library etc). The focus remains on the horizontal menu and I cannot scroll down to the vertical file menu...

Has anyone seen this?

Works fine here - just press Up or Down.

How do I go about doing that?

I seriously tried pressing up or down several times... didn't work.. What build are you using?

Also try pressing the Right directional...I think I have to press Right twice to get it to show the horizontal menu, though that may be in another view. Unfortunately I can't run XBMC at work :-)

In AEON it's Screen Settings (other skins it's Appearance), then Screen, then Video Calibration...

11b. It's always worked though.

A quick question, i just started using this skin cos other skins are still a work in progress very much and i'd like to give this one a try.

So far i like the way this skin is made and it's lay out however i've encountered 1 problem and that's with the backdrops.

I can't get them to changeover smoothly. I've downloaded the backdrops from the aeon site and as normal .jpg they work however not so smooth on that old xbox. Now on the site itself it said that i had to convert them to uncompressed .tif with IrfanView. This worked like a charm and i can even view them on the xbox with the picture viewer. However Aeon doesn't pick them up and i can't put them as my background with either the set background or set background folder.

Any one know what i'm doing wrong here?
Thanks.

Yup! The insturction to convert to .tiff is obsolete. Convert them to .bmp to minimize the workoload on teh Xbox-- and make sure you have "Xbox Mode" turned on in the Aeon settings, and you'll be golden.

Looks cool, that new screen.

Is the √ on the left, and indication that "this movie has been watched"?

If it is, how about doing it as an overlay on the movie poster on the right, instead?

I think it would blend in better that way.

It is, though that screen was just a mockup. There are a couple of small formatting things there that aren't actually possible right now, and the icons were just chucked in on a whim. I'll have something realtime to show you later this evening.

Looks sweet! I prefer the list view aswell because that allows for easier searching trough my movies then the showcase or posterwall.

The downside of that view so far however is that movie info doesn't show up automatically and there's just little information in the view in general.

So this addes a good bunch, thanks!
