I made much faster progress than expected, here´s a preview of the upcoming White Theme for the Dev Version of Nox (3.6)

Needs newest GIT version from Master ( https://github.com/BigNoid/Aeon-Nox/zipball/master )
plus the Theme file ( https://github.com/downloads/BigNoid/Aeon-Nox/White.xbt ) which must be placed in media/ folder.

Please post opinions, I´m not sure yet whether I should go down the "all-white" route or if I should just color the panels.

Set Theme to White in Appearance Settings.








Expect a hell lot of visual glitches. And never turn the setting to color the panels on

Have fun.

Woot!

I'll start using this immediately!

EDIT: So can we just do a git pull, and download the theme?

yes.

So far, I'm not getting the results like you've posted. Perhaps I've dropped the .xbt file in the wrong location. I just dropped it in the theme folder. I can select the lite_floor for the color choice, but there is no additional option for the theme in Appearances.

Yep, that did it. I'll post some observations later this evening after I get some use out of it.

Thanks phil65 for the great work.

Do that.
I have to say that I´m surprised how good it looks for most parts. perhaps that´s just because i starred at the old textures for too long

I quite like it. 2 things that I've seen so far.

1) When you try to resume a video it comes up with that "from ##:##" or play from beginning menu. It appears that was left as the default black color.
2) Even with rssclient and rssfeeds installed, the skin->help menu shows that they are not.

1) yes, context menu and shutdown menu need to be fixed. on my list.
2) doesn´t happen here.

A few observations for you...

1. When using the "set area color" dialogs, choosing to color Panels makes the panels a solid color (of your choice). This also affects the top bar a little drastically as well.

2. Panel Widgets - the text overlay on the bottom is indiscernable. I'm using this widget for TVshows/latest episodes

3 Episode Viewtype - Perhaps the fade on Background 2 could extend a bit more to the left so that the plot info of episodes is a little easier to read.

4. Landscape viewtype - single logo: The alternate floor option I think fades up too far into the fanart. Something a bit less drastic?

5. Wall viewtype - no background panel/show logo: Maybe the area color could be applied to highlight the floor (like the shift and showcase floor highlights) surrounding the Logo/text area to make lighter logos a bit easier to see.

6. Pause screen/with video info: White on white text (rating, country, director, etc.) under the chapter info is a little hard to see. Perhaps use the area color here?

Do you want screens illustrating these points? Overall, it's looking really good - and refreshing.

This is what I'm referring to:



I also notice looking at that screen that the ratings stars are hard to see in the same manner...

doesn´t happen here. what are your color settings?

I changed the color glow to a greyish color using color picker. Made it much easier to see.

In appearance-->settings - I have it set to Lite_Floor for theme and colours

and for anywhere that I chose an area color, I've set it to Dark Blue/labels only.

I think I've found the problem in the Misc. setting "show video info when paused". If I uncheck that, the area color is used. If it's checked, then it shows up like pictured above (and only when paused).
