Ok a new release of the skin is out, still in "beta" but I am slowly getting there (it is dangerous stuff not having a deadline )

- New graphics for the tv guide
- Several small adjustments made to the skin

Same url as usual: http://hem.bredband.net/b244633/mce05.zip

Enjoy and let me have your feedback/ideas.

--- UPDATE 13/1 2005 ------

I made several changes to the skin in this version.

- new graphics for all dialoges (no changes to osd... yet)
- fixed many of the dialog screens (text alignment)
- made all necesary fixes so that it works with version 0.1.0.5 (I hope)
- fixed some minor glitches here and there
- and things I can't remember

Please report any bugs or if you think that some graphics should change (yes some WILL change and is still temporary)

Aaaaanyway you can download it here: http://hem.bredband.net/b244633/mce05.zip

--- UPDATE 6/1 2005 -------
Changed some graphics for the dialogue screens. New buttons where added. The graphics is to test and is not final.

Also changed the list controle graphics... and some other.

The skin is still not done and I will put some time in to make it look better.

Enjoy http://hem.bredband.net/b244633/mce05.zip

OH! AND ANOTHER THING... I have made this graphics for Media Portal and if you want to use this for another application than MP then you will have to ask. I am not ok just using the graphics as you see fit in other applications without asking.

For the ppl in here that are skinning for MP there are offcourse no restrictions, feel free to use it as you see fit in your skinning

And yes this thread belongs here in skin development...

Ans yes this is somewhat cryptic...

Stay tuned and check the thread up until x-mas.

I like it very much.
The only thing (also in the former mce skin) is that the skin contains English words in the various parts (like television, music, weather). I'm Dutch and use the Dutch language file in MP. I like to have everything in MP translated to Dutch, but don't know how to translate the English words in the mce skin. To be honest I think that there is no need for text at all in the skin.

I will consider that, maybe we could replace the images with text instead. I will look in to it.
