Beautiful skin, looks very professional! Definitely has upped the WAF another notch.

This is whilst using it on a 4:3 TV as well - end of the month should have a nice 32" HD Tele (as long as the W agrees ) - then I can see it in all its beauty.

Much appreciated!

This is my new fav skin. Pyscho Reptile you did it again.

However what you should improve on is to replace the icons with colored ones. (only if you want to)

Another great skin, however I think that Monochrome is still the best - much more professional and clean looking!

Bah, I disagree, I prefer the blue look to the black and feel it fits better, but either way this skin is great!

I am still hoping for a 1080p version though. I realize the skin conforms to the 1080p resolution but the fonts overlap in some places and and the resizing of the images can lead to distortion/banding is some cases.

Edit: If there is a way for me to change the font size in this skin that would help tremendously. I WAS able to use my modified basic home screen that I made in monochrome with monochrome-mce w/o having to do anything except copy it over.

Tirade,

You should be able to just open up fonts.xml and change the font sizes globally for the whole skin.

Black is still the best, but love this one!

Also good since the controls stay the same.
My girlfriend hates it when I change skins, then she has to figure ou the controls again.....

Keep it up!

I really like this skin. Was using ReVision, but this one is even nicer.
