I perfectly understand what you are trying to do but for me it isn't working.


Also I do think that the fixed list option is broke because it wasn't working for me.

Anyway keep up the good work

I'm really liking this skin, looks very promising. I'll agree with RavenNL in that the main menu is a too muted. For example, I enabled fan art images for movies and the images are too opaque and faded, especially in a dark room. The main menu is the first screen the user sees and it really should pop more. It would also be nice to have the option to control the how opaque the fan art images, e.g, 20%, 40%, etc.

Just like Aeon Nox 5, you can go to the skin settings and set the desired background for each menu item. You can also go to the General section and set the default background for each area (Movies, Live TV, etc).

If you'd like to manually replace the default background image with something else, you can find it in your skin folder. It is default_bg.jpg, located in skin.mimic/backgrounds.

Is there any way to download the logos for movies automatically? Having to use artwork downloader to do it one movie at a time will take forever.

Thank you for your work. Great skin!

Rather than run Artwork Download from the movie info screen's menu, run AD from your Programs window periodically. It will download artwork for your entire video library.

Don't worry, I hear everyone loud and clear. Guess I'll be the only one using the fullscreen overlay on the home screen. I just pushed an update to git that adds a skin setting to remove the home screen overlay. Instead, the overlay is only displayed behind the widgets when they are visible.

Without the home screen overlay, the widget indicator is hard to see. I moved it to be a part of the main menu. None of my main menu labels are long enough to interfere with the indicator, you'll have to let me know if this works ok on your systems.

Thanks for the input everyone.

I recently added a link to reNOX in my thread (before the recent change to mimic) since I used some of your views in a mod that I released to others in the Aeon Nox forum. I was wondering if you would prefer me to change the link to mimic or get rid of the link altogether?

Thanks.

Sure, you can update the link.

One request, not sure if you can change this in a skin. When a movie does not have a studio icon, it puts a question mark in it's place. Is there any way to make it where it is just a blank space?

Thanks.
