Aeon, very good, but still alpha Options

[kics]

i just say this skin http://aeoncentral.com/index.html its for any xbmc
and its good but only has the movies/music/pictures tab... no settings so i cannot change it back to pm3...

[c-2]

it has settings .. push up off the homebar and go over to screen , switch skins .. i love this skin , use it as my main skin on both my xbox's.

[Jezz_X]

hehe kics like c-2 said push up or maybe its down one of them

[FourTwentySmiles]

It's up. then push right til you get to "screen". Aeon was the defualt on Xbox#2.........til Vi2ion hit the scene!!!!!

[phistyle]

this is one sick looking skin....very clean and simple...I love the fact that I can take out certain categories from the home menu.....I only use my xbox to stream movies, music, and pictures so its nice to remove the games, apps, and weather category...skin a lil glitchy but it works great...choosing ur own high res background for each category is a plus too

at the home screen you just push up on the d-pad and you'll get another set of tabs... for that matter, if you push down on the homescreen you'll get another set of tabs as well.

Sounds like your running out of memory on the good old xbox
Are you using the updated Ver 11c? In the skin settings do you have
it set to the Xbox mode? Are your moive icon set to 192kb?
What I had to do is take all the back drops that are 1080p
and convert with Irfanview to 720x1080 BMP.
That help with the black-outs I was having on my xbox.
There's lots of tips over at
XBMC.org--> Creators Corner--> Skin Development and Skinning Requests
Hope that helps

what do i change to 192k the other advice worked with resizing the bitmap thanks

I'm still new to this xbmc thing and I'm at work so bear with me
There are two ways you can set your icons to 192KB that im aware of:
You can use the advanced XML way and put it in your userdata folder( not sure how to set this up)
Option 2 (the way I did it) when you setup a folder to scan for Movies (IMDb scrapers settings)
at the bottem there is a settings tab you can going in to and set the icon cache to 192kb.
Try it out a let me know.

Do you have Movie file on your xbox HD? Do they play? It might be the latest XBMC. I having the same problem on both of my softmodded xbox's. And plus, this skin has alot of bugs
This is from the Aeon [ALPHA]: Discussion Thread over at XBMC.org from djh_;

Here are some known issues with this build:

- Button menu (aka Shutdown menu) may refuse to open after a while.
The cause of this is unknown: it could be skin or XBMC-related
- Several animation/timing glitches in Showcase and Episode views
- Music/Music Video info needs attention
- Some dialogs remain unskinned (but are usable)
- File Manager is unusable
- Music OSD is a bit messed up
- Music Visualisation settings are unusable
- Plenty of minor glitches scattered here and there
- View types option does nothing on windows to which it
doesn't apply

Turns out i had a bad build still not getting playback from showcase or wall view but thats probably just a mem issue works fine in list mode and is very usable
