This skin has been renamed Mimic and is now available on the Kodi repository. See http://forum.kodi.tv/showthread.php?tid=210552

I've been working on a skin based on Aeon Nox 5 that incorporates features from reFocus. Many thanks to BigNoid and Jeroen. Expect future updates to further differentiate this skin from the originals.

Helix only!

watch gallery

Here's some of what I've done so far:

• Removed/modified many of the interface graphics. Replaced the default icons with the ones from reFocus.
  
• Desaturated all colored graphics and added color diffuse to allow additional color themes with just a color xml.
  
• Removed the LowList and TriPanel views as they didn't fit well after removing the floor and panel backgrounds.
  
• Added the Gallery and BigList views from reFocus and Panel view courtesy of Reynald.
  
• And many smaller changes, you'll have to try it for yourself...
  

Let me know if I missed styling anything. If you create any additional color themes, please share them.

Thanks to:
BigNoid, for creating Aeon Nox
Jeroen, for Gallery view and default icons from reFocus
All the other skinners and scripters that participate on the forum and everyone that maintains the wiki.
Thank you!

Look very nice!

Nice work

Quick question : is there an (easy) way to change the background opacity ? A bit dark for my taste, fanart is barely visible, but i guess it's a design choice.

Anyway, good stuff, looking forward for future updates... do you plan on integrating new views ?

Nice one.

Going to keep this for a while to see if it suits me

/edit:
1 thing missing for me. I would like to see next program in LiveTV info window.

You can try making a copy of white.png and rename it background.png, replacing the existing file. Or just lower the opacity of background.png.

I added two new views, Gallery and Panel. Will likely add Big List from refocus too.

I simplified that screen, I'll see if I can add it back when I get home next week.

That would be great.
I'm a heavy LiveTV user and personally I think this information is pretty useful.
It's all up to you if you want to add it back or not

I'm using this on Helix beta 1, nice work! I'd love a Bluray/DVD cases though...

Git updated with version 1.01. Completely redesigned the home screen. Removed recently added widgets and infolines. Will update the screenshots when I get a chance.

I don't use cases, that's something you'd have to add in.

Added next program back to the Live TV OSD.

Hi bryanbrazil!

Is it possible to make this skin ready for Gotham?

I am very satisfied with Gotham, everything I need for the time I have with Gotham.
My xbmc machine runs great.

Thanks for your reply and a reNOX for Gotham would be fantastic.

Not sure I understand, the custom main menu items should still be available.

You're taking the best of refocus and nox. I really like where this is going! Will be watching this closely.
