HOW TO INSTALL THE SKIN

WHAT'S THE NEW IN AEON MQ 4 SC:

Aeon MQ 4 Skinner's Cut version, with everything that the original version has except the ability to reorder and add new items in the main menu.
Suitable for people who use the skin in standard mode or for those with machines less powerful.




REALTIME MAIN MENU CUSTOMIZATION

Now you’re able to customize the menus directly through the main menu. With that you’re saving time by knowing exactly how your changes are affecting the skin.


LIGHT MODE OR SUPER MODE?

In the Aeon MQ4 SC skin that’s not necessary.
The Skin will automatically adapt to the user’s needs according to the customization level done in the main menu.
The Aeon MQ4 SC is always ready to receive a super customization but operates in Light mode when this customization is not done.


EXTRA PACKAGE

Wouldn’t it be great to receive all the themes, weather background images, icons and logos with just 1 click? In the Aeon MQ4 SC this is possible and you receive all this extra content in just one package.


STYLE SELECTOR

Future is the name of the new theme. New background images, new fonts and textures creating a modern visual.
Still prefer the default theme? Don’t worry, it’s still available, you’re free to choose whatever suits you best.
It’s easier now to choose a style. Navigate through the available types and choose what’s best for you.




CASE SELECTOR

Personalize your cases on your own way. Choose what you want to use for each type of media.




INDEPENDENT INFORMATION PANEL FOR EACH TIPE OF VIEW AND COLLECTION

Now you can independently define the type and also the behavior of the information panel likewise you’d done in the Aeon MQ2 but on an easier and wiser way.


NEW MULTI-FUNCTION REMINDER WITH INDEPENDENT LISTS FOR EACH COLLECTION

Now it’s possible to choose a different type of exhibition for each reminder. You can define for example the type RANDOM for movies, RECENT for tv-shows or RECOMMENDED for music, beyond that you can turn on and off each of the alerts individually.


TOP MENU

In Collections the old lateral menu was replaced by the TOP MENU, more organized and powerful. You’ll have all the adjustments needed for each scenario.


SMART KIOSK

This option makes the TOP MENU accessible with the basic functions but not enabling any adjustment option.


KIOSK CODE

Deactivates the kiosk mode temporarily using a sequence of pre-established commands.


SIMPLE NAVIGATION

Using the left/right arrows you can rewind or forward a window or command. It’s easy to navigate through Aeon MQ 4 SC.


THEME ROTATION

You can have a different theme each time you start the skin and also you can set to rotate your preferred themes only.



Continue…

MORE COLORS AND STYLES

There’s a new color picker for the main menu and also for other parts of the skin, with 23 colors to choose from and a real-time preview.



WEATHER UNDERGROUND SUPPORT

Just like what you have in Weather Plus now you have weather date for your Weekend, 36 hours and 7 days in the main menu and also the full window including the videos.

TIPS AND HELP

There are so much new features that the skin has a help system that will guide the user on a step by step way.

NEW PAUSE AND AUDIO VISUALIZATION SCREENS

How about having information of the plot and cast during the playback? Everything now is better organized and prettier.

Hi MarcosQui,
I love this Skin. It works fine on my AMD E350 based HTPC. Unfortunately when a video (h264 mkv with dd5.1 audio) is playing and you go on a page where you can't see it (e.g. settings; in contrast to the main page), after 10seconds or so it the audio begins to stutter and the whole system becomes less responsive (not completely unresponsive but you recognize it clearly). When you go back to the main page, the video "fast forwards" to the current audio position and plays well again. But as soon as you enter a page without the video, it will stutter again. This only happens on the openELEC based system, on the windows based everything works fine. What more information do you need? Or shall I contact openELEC?
Is there a posibilty to always get a fullscreen video in the background in your skin just like in confluence?

[StinDaWg]

Actually, I've seen that happen on Windows before on MQ3, not sure if it's fixed on MQ4.

[StinDaWg]

Marcos, did you change something in 1.1 to make it load faster? I noticed in the original SC release, loading between tv/movies and the home screen was really slow, now it's about twice as fast, almost as fast as MQ3. MQ4 regular edition is still slow in comparison though.

[bry]

Is there an option to disable animations/fade effects? Installed on am atv2 to test and I found that the transitions slowed the unit down considerably.
