[WIP] Advanced Launcher view for Aeon

First thing, i never did skin before, expect caveman code

but im never satisfied, im not happy with the visualizations for my games, so i decide try it myself, actualy the goal is revive the cool Aeon Gray/Silver look, but i dont know if i can handle, so i will start with advanced launcher first, if the console view goes well i will make 1 for roms and keep the work going on.

I did some thumbs for my games already in this post.

but the goal here is build this.


i have some ideias to how start and im already doing it, i think i will be in trouble for the mini showcase view and the logos (name/console).
a hand will be usefull if anyone is interesting in help me.
expect things slow, i never did it before.

Nice mockups, i've made some views for aeon65 time ago, if you want i can share the code and you clean it up to your needs? Which aeon are you using?

Sure, any help will be very appreciated, if you can send me i will be very glad.

right now im working with aeon nox, since it have the most functions that i want, and is very stable and fast, i will try re-texture to get the old silver look, with some adds, right now im scared lol, will be a very big learning curve.

Feel free to use everything you need. Don't know about nox, but in general aeon skins are really complex, so you surely will need some help from big_noid

Cheers and good luck !
