[CLOSED] Aeon [ALPHA]: Discussion Thread (no bug reports or support enquiries)

Posting your support enquiry in a thread that isn't titled: "...no bugs reports or support enquiries" would be a good start.

("With difficulty" is the answer, btw. Without the necessary textures, the code you dropped in from elsewhere would display little more than scattered text on a black background. The file manager is coming very soon, though.)

Great Update DJH... new context menus are beautiful and I'm sure the new file manager will look very similar, which will be great... totally loving it duncan...

any backdrop updates expected this week? i've already got the tombraider and gears of war 2 ones (i couldn't wait... LOL!)... keep the updates coming... good to see ur finishing the basic stuff so AEON can become super usable like it used to be... then, bring on the BLING!!!! although... i think the simple context menus and list views look suberbly brilliant...

KEEP IT UP... it's almost there!

Really a fantastic update to an already incredible skin. Just testing it out on OS X (not really to use as a media center, but rather just to test out the skin), I dig the new default backdrop. And the new context menus are beautiful. Thanks for the hard work.

awesome work, love the update. thank you!!

Backpack returns. Tonight.

Oh lord... that is amazing... batman returns as well! LOL!! Can't wait!!!

Feature suggestion: Common backdrop folder

I find I prefer all my backdrops coming from one folder. i.e. I have a collection of general artwork that I like to see, rather than menu-dependent movie-themed, music-themed, games-themed, etc.

So of course I go through the settings and set each category's backdrop folder to the same location. No big deal.

Sometimes my mood changes. I might want to change all my backdrops to load from the folder "familypics" or "flowers" or "landscapes". Since I'm lazy, it's a pain to change every setting individually...poor me...

It would be cool to have an option "use this folder for all backdrops: xxxxx".

It would be even cooler (or easier to code?) to have a setting that would just use the same folder set up in the "screensaver-show slideshow" settings. I've found I love that setup now - it gives a neat effect, beacause then screensaver mode turns your wall-mounted flat panel into a nice piece of scrolling artwork, and when you grab the remote Aeon becomes a sleek menu over that same artwork.

Anyway, just a suggestion to add to the pile. Keep up the great work, and thanks.

I was wondering if a feature like that exists... I'd like to have it so that a random image is displayed for 'music', 'movies', 'games', etc...

would be cool if when in the "backgrounds settings" to have a "Set Moves: Background image from this folder" and be able to set a path f:/bckdrps/movs

so that the movies tab would randomly load a backdrop..

just a humble suggestion, huge fan of this skin ... thanks again

...have I missed something?
