Hey everyone,
I had an issue with Aeon Nox. I loved it too much. I got a few Raspberry Pi's put in my house now and Confluence was getting boring. After overclocking a Pi I noticed Aeon Nox ran fairly okay. Some parts were way too slow and animations could drop the frame rate too quickly. After playing around with animations, fades, and scrolls I found I could disable most of them by setting their times to 0 or near 0. Now this doesn't exactly solve Aeon Nox being pretty heavy for low power devices like the Pi, but I think it's a start. It makes the skin just a bit more usable.
I forked the theme in GitHub to share for anyone that's interested. I've only changed a little bit so far, but I'd like to start slimming down the skin a bit to remove features that aren't needed. If you have any suggestions feel free to let me know or send a pull request.
And yes, I did record a video. This was an early test of it to see what it would look like. Again, it's not really that much faster, but there's no waiting for animations which I think makes it feel snappier.
