Looking at the screenshots it beats built-in with fanart support(and it gets grabbed automatically). and the views look waaaay better. The list-view is awesome.
The rest of the advantages is not visible, but they are even better

anyone else using Moving Pictures with AEON skin?

Using the generic skin files don't look that good with Aeon.

pannivas: There's a skinfile for this plugin now in the AEON Wide forum made my mattsk88. Looks much better than the generic file imho.

HeHe i prefer the generic list view as well (I guess that is why i designed it lol, perfect fit for the titanium skin). I made the aeon skin to fit with the theme. Like I mentioned its just a base that can be improved on, Im working on two skins atm so I didn't have much free time to spend on the aeon skin

PR will probably give out his files soon, can't keep'em to himself forever You shouldnt be sorry for not spending countless hours fixing aeon files when you work on another skin(s), you should be proud you created a working version

Just because that listview is so awesome im downloading your titanium skin to check it out.. Been using aeon(xephyr) since the first port here on the forum, so I guess its time to try something new
Im usually not very fond of light colours, but we'll see..

The meteorite skin youre working is looking very promising for my taste!

When you have a movie that's less than an hour long, the shown info is "0 hours and 50 minutes". It would look better with only "50 minutes". If a movie is 2 hours exactly, the shown info is "2 hours and 0 minutes". Would look better with only "2 hours". Should be quite easy to fix as well.

I would love to see an Aeon version more like you made with TV Series. Keeping information layer over the fanart at the bottom of the screen.
Does not cover so much of the actual fanart.

It also looks cooler to have a transparent dark grey instead of pure black.

Someone who can make a modification like this?

This should dramatically improve performance when quickly moving through the movie list, thumbnail view, etc. Depending on your input device you may want to adjust this delay to fit your needs, this is configurable under the Advanced Settings panel. Feedback is of course welcome here.
Much better way to handly such would be to create a worker thread that runs in the background. That would speed up the thumbnail / artwork loading 0.25s (as there is no delay) and it wouldnt cause "hanging" GUI if user manages to press the navigation buttons just on time when the 0.25s delay is expired and loading starts up.
