Hi there,
having trouble with the vista media center I stumbled on aeon. I've been looking at the aeonproject-site, seing pics, and it looks stunning. So, I've been reading around in this forum, trying to figure out, how to set it up, but right now, it's just quite dizzying.
So, I've set up my HTPC (780G Board, X2 4050e, 2GB RAM, 1TB HD, iMon Pad) with a fresh Win XP SP3 install.
Now I've downloaded XBMC for Windows, Version 9.04, here. Next thing would be the Aeon fonts, linked on aoenproject. So far, so good. Now I need Aeon itself, right? So, there's Aeon, Stark and Auriga . Reading the very unofficial FAQ, I think Aeon is first name, Stark was the name of the next step (V0.91?) and Auriga is the recent build? Or is it the project that is worked on atm? I'm kinda lost here.
But since the FAQ says github is the place to go, I went there. Am I in the right place? This is where I get Auriga's latest builds, right? (Damn I feel stupid...).
About those gorgeous backdrops, do they have to be downloaded an put in aeon folder seperately or is it a tool that downloads and cycles them? Found out about MIP. Might that be the key to make Aeon look as stunning as in the pictures?
Thanks in advance for anyone taking time to help a newb, and sorry for bothering. I'll keep on reading the forum in the meantime, maybe I'll figure some things out myself.
