Alaska was the I used for a year, loved it. If the HD version includes the fancy new features illegal in eden it might kick MQ3 to the curb on my system

Illegal?

... and thank you Android keyboard auto'in'correct!

I love when it changes things and I dont notice.

Ignore 'illegal' and it makes sense Smile

What features does MQ3 have?

Livin · 2012-02-11 03:03

newer features in Settings like being able to change UI colors on the fly, adding home menu items with a few clicks, etc.

honestly all of the Aeon clones don't impress me, they are all the same IMO with tweaks here/there... somce of the most unique, and well thought out view/screen work I've seen is in Prescence by EKIM232 (http://forum.xbmc.org/showthread.php?tid=96977). The Movie Library Info List view is perfect and the music album carousel is unlike any other skin, period. ... Then there is the Recently Added widget - makes the Aeon widget look like old school.
... Then there is the background animations that no other skin has - elegant.

I really wish he'd update it to work on Eden.

But, if he does not, Alaska HD will likely be my skin of choice.

OK, so this is different than the Alaska I saw and got yesterday?

Salem · 2012-02-18 18:44

Yes, b/c it's a planned project. There are no releases.

Hi Hitcher, do you think you'll add more viewtypes for programs?

Probably not, in fact I intend to make this version a lot leaner and only have a few view types based on the current content.

Do you think there's a particular program that doesn't fit in the current views?
