I am just messing around Jtap. There is no chance in hell I will stop skinning, and I am sure you will enjoy what I put out for Aeon soon.

To be fair its Ekim's choice what he does. We ain't paying him to do what he does and nobody is going to to something they do for fun when its a chore.
Anyway, Aeon65 is 95% identical. Apart from some overlays, media tag images and some different options you can make it pretty much the same to Ekims version. And Aeon65 is Dharma compatible.

I do not at all understand the ongoing discussion about Ekims skin.
I like it a lot, I´m grateful to everyone who put their mind and time into making XBMC better and I´m happy to try skins, add-ons and so on and so forth to see wich parts that fits my needs.
due to people like Ekim we got different flavours of skins, features and functions.
To give these people a hard time without paying them for it is in my book the most stupid thing a person could do and I would like to make a qualified guess that it all boils down to envy of not being able to do it yourself.
If you don´t like a skin or a function. Don´t use it! And leave the poor soul that made it alone, otherwise you will drive them away, leaving people like me and others hanging. I love this skin, I use it on my bedrom htpc. I also love other skins and use a slightly modifyed Auriga in my livingroom and I use leagacy dark for my sons and daughters htpcs.
I use subtitles add-on, made off someone else, I use a whole bunch of functions that is actualy writen by people and shared with everyone for free!!!
I´m hoping that someone who understand how to makes a functionable add-on to Mediaportal TV-Server since I use that one aswell. I also use the DSPlayer versions of XBMC for my eeeboxes (yes the skins are a bit slow but it works!!!!).
All these functions that are served for my pleasure are actualy someone elses work so pay some F#*king respect to these people!
I belive we have all different needs that we want forfilled and that´s the strength of open source, there are people putting time and effort into making a great platform even better.
I would like to give my best regards to Ekim and EVERYBODY ELSE that is putting time into this!
Thank you!
Sincerly!

Just to give everyone an update. I am working hard at cleaning up this skin right now. I am doing a major overhaul on it and making it much slimmer. I am cutting down on useless options, hacking out a few views, adding a few views, and recoding much of it to match the way I did Legacy Dark. I just finished up code cleanup and I am working on the views right now. The add-on manager is done and I have it 100% working for Dharma with all the scripts working as well. I added in a new setting section for putting in custome home menu items and submenu items.
Please be patient, this skin is a complete mess in my opinion and I put my new project on hold to do this for everyone.

is there a way to add your own custom main menu items in this skin, similar to the showmix skin?
Oh BTW, the trailer preview doesn't seem to work in the showcase movie view.

I'm using XBMC on a mac, lately I've noticed that the skin would crash when I would go to certain views or in different sections (movies,videos etc...)
Some friend recommended upgrading to the latest XBMC SVN build, I've the 9.11 so I think its the latest no?
