...and if you didn´t know... small preview of what´s coming next:




http://forum.xbmc.org/showthread.php?tid=137379

Like always awesome work again, thumbs up!

just wow... i love it.
i've been using xbmc for 6 years and this is the most complete and polished skin i ever saw

small question:
how can i fix the position of the home menu? i only use 7 icons, so they all fit on my tv at the same time, but the menu still scrolls left to right and vice versa (i possibly just overlooked the option somewhere).

amazing.........
peppe

I didn't think Aeon Nox could get much better... but you proved me wrong.

Very impressed with the way you manage to include a truck load of extra features and still create a UI that any first time user can just jump into and work with. The help menu with the tutorials especially is a nice touch.

Thanks for this! cant wait to get home and try it out! brilliant work.

I love it!!
Just played around with the new icon settings.

Created a Home Button for all my Star Wars Documentary's. With a Custom Star Wars Icon
And I couldnt find an HD icon, so I set up a custom HD icon for my HD smart playlist aswell.





I hope version 3.6 comes soon after, I would love to see the White themed AEON NOX in action

i found two issues:

some icons are not shown in video add-ons


most of the tv show logo clearart won't show up, instead the regular text is displayed



i had a third issue, but it weirdly solved itself:
some tv show posters weren't displayed, but changing the xbmc display mode from screen 2 (tv) to screen 1 (pc monitor) fixed that.



(i'm using xbmc eden on win 7/64bit, none of my other skins - rapier, confluence, refocus big - have similar issues)

1) delete your addons / textures database. can´t be a skin issue.
2) we´re not showing clearart there, but logo. and it only shows up if you have one.

1) where is it located? i don't want to delete sth that breaks xbmc
2) i have a logo.png file in every tv show folder
