Final word: from the looks of it too much is being added to this skin, and with this version seems to have picked up too much bloat like the other aeon skins have. Since nox is suppose to be light and fast, this seems to be going in the wrong direction.

I asked phil to work on Nox 3.0 with me. He wanted to do his own mod first but I could talk him out of it
I'm very thankful for that, cause phil has had the most innovative ideas I've seen in a long time and I'm positive the end result will be unlike any Aeon version you've seen. Definitely not bloated. It's way lighter then 2.x.x.

Thanks for the response man, lighter the better. It's good you have a helper, and I'm sure there will be some interesting things. Just a shame he is a little touchy.

As for some things: please PLEASE if you are going to be changing fonts and major looks of things, give us an option to have the older look too!

Also please keep all of the current view types, adding more is fine but please don't delete the others. Especially low list and info wall!

Keep up the good work man, I really do appreciate all you're doing.

I am hopefull that the final nox 3 will have some good customization settings!

how ever, it would be nice if for some reason there is no banner/poster it had fanart or the show title shown (e.g Americas next top model is to the left of american idol, but imposible to see without moving to it.)

those small images at the bottom come from http://fanart.tv

That my friend was uncalled for.. constructive criticize is one thing... phil has been nothing but helpful in answering questions and evaluating all the input many people here are providing.. you have two really great skinners in phil and Big Noid who are taking the time to get feedback on the great work they are doing... they dont HAVE to, just like they are not obligated to release any of their work to all of us...

Here's an idea, if you dont like the direction this WIP is going in, stick with the old one...

having the opinion that it is bloated and asking not to remove anything, just adding.. funny.

Hey can we have the strip show view back for movies? or at least a view with smaller covers/posters. Thanks!

Im being picky here...

Navigating through the episode view on either TV episodes or Movies, if you activate the scroll bar while on either the first item or the last item on the list, and press the remote to scroll ahead (or back depending if you are on the top or the bottom) instead of wrapping around like it does when scrolling through the list, it actually jumps two or three entries in the OPPOSITE direction..

If you go into Movies Episode view and you are on the first item in the list, press right to activate the scroll bar, and then press up - which should wrap the list to the bottom, but instead it jumps to the third item from the top in the list

i added small shift view already. should be enough.

Having an option for the old font isn't bloat, it is already there in 2.0.

Thanks!

you asked only to ADD viewtypes...

Another observation, the episode view for episodes has the show logo in the top left, but the episode view for the tv shows (looks GREAT btw) does not have the logo, but Im sure you already know that.

Also when viewing anything else but episodes, the POSTER option does not do anything, which I guess makes sense
