(Re) Fuse

Hi guys,

I always loved butchabay’s original mock-ups for fuse. I really like the idea of having a consistent low-list style view throughout the skin that shows off fanart and always has the main menu accessible at the top of the screen. So I started playing around with a few ideas for fun and ended up coming up with something that I really like.

I got a bit sick of the flat look, so here I’m going for soft gradients, shadows, pixel highlights and a subtle sense of layered depth.
Its a bit of a fusion between fuse, arctic zephyr and aeon nox 4.

Still a ways off from being ready for release, but I thought I would share some early screenshots.

Following on from djh_’s ideas for the new version of Aeon, I’ve decided that viewtypes will be fixed to the content type, so there will be no “selectable” viewtypes (though perhaps a toggle for whether you want posters, banners or fanart for the base level of tvshows library).

Also I’m open to suggestions, but I will probably be saying no to most feature requests unless they really make sense for the skin.
This isn’t going to be a kitchen sink type skin.

It will (and currently does) support skin shortcuts.
Home screen widgets will be customisable, but with the always available menu from the top, the idea is that you don’t really need to ever “go home” so to speak.
