Greetings and thanks for your time. My apologies for what I am sure is an "uber-newbie" question, but not seeming to find a solution after repeatedly checking ever setting I can think of. Fairly familiar with XBMC, although definitely not expert level, but my feet are sufficiently "wet". And in all my XBMC use, majority has been with Aeon Nox skin.
First off, LOVE Aeon Nox! Previous and (so far) new 5 version as well. Slick, clean, and yet epic like a summer blockbuster movie trailer. I like the simplicity of the less bulky skins, but something always drags me back to Aeon Nox, and it is usually a setting the lighter skins didn't have. Anyways, thanks for a sweet skin.
My Question:
In the new version of Aeon Nox, I love the 'Gravity' default Home Window background image. And I love the way it is constant while flipping through my categories on the Main Menu bar. But I would really like to replace the default background image with a multi-image slideshow, or at least have it change on each load of XBMC, based on either the contents of a selected image folder or a group of individually selected images. Or at least a single image.
Essentially I have a collection of 5 or so cool landscape wallpapers that I would like to cycle through every 10-15 minutes or more, or on every launch of XBMC. Not looking for it to constantly change within a minute or anything, and DEFINITELY not each time I hit a left or right arrow.
I know I can go into each category (Menu item) and change the background image to the same thing if I wanted it to appear as though I had a default static image across all categories. This could not of course work in the instance of having multiple images, because (correct me if I am wrong but) if I was to select "Set Multi-Image Background" for each category they would appear randomly while flipping through categories.
So I am wondering if there is a simple "Default Background Image" setting I am missing somewhere where I may be able to (A) select a static image for all categories that I could easily change without having to change each category BG image and/or (B) select a multi-image option for a random image from a selected group/folder of images (slideshow style) that would be independent of the Home Window Main Menu Bar or at least automatically change the image for each category to the same one so it appears seamless?
Any help on how to achieve this in Aeon Nox 5 (if currently possible) would be greatly appreciated.
My Suggestion:
If there isn't currently a way/setting for this, then I would suggest creating a skin setting option that would allow a "Default Home Background Image" that is independent of the Menu Bar with the same options as that of each Menu Bar item's Background Image (i.e. "Set Item Background" -> "Set Single Image Background", "Set Multi-Image Background")
