Plex with Aeon Slim

I’m trying to avoid repetition but sometimes too many good developments happen around the same time so apologies for this. With regards to my recent Boxee post, I discovered an interface update to Plex which brings that software back in front. Get the AeonSlim skin for Plex. Now. It’s stunning.

All the images you see in this post are randomised from a huge set of attractive Backdrops . Enjoy!

Installation instructions: Apologies for not posting proper install notes as it was quite late last night when I posted this. Here’s how to get it going:

    1. Download Aeon Slim and the Backdrops.
    2. Uncompress the AeonSlim folder. Open a new window and go to your home folder. From there go to Library > Application Support > Plex > skins and move the AeonSlim folder in there.
    3. Uncompress the various Movies, Pictures, TV Shows and Music folders downloaded from the Backdrops link and move them all into a folder (I created a Backdrops folder within my Pictures folder and dropped them all in there.)
    4. Run Plex. Go to Settings > Appearance > Look and Feel and change the Skin to AeonSlim.
    5. Go to Settings > Customise and then Backdrops.
    6. Select Movies, press Enter, then the down arrow and navigate to where your Movie backdrops are. Do the same for Music, Picture and TV Shows.
    7. There is no step 7! Done! Enjoy Plex!
