Fonts are called: Cambria, Constantia, Corbel, Candara, Calibri, and Consolas.

You can find them on google.

Wait, I dont know which fonts are used in Media Portal, these are the fonts in Vista.

Great to hear that you still are working on this promising skin.

wertzui · 2007-03-25, 00:01

i have descided that the new version is good enough for release.
it may contain some bugs, if you find them, please reply to this thread.

the skin is for 2.2 with latest svn
you have to use the basic homescreen and you can not navigate through the homescreen with your mouse

as always, only given out through pm.
for everyone, who has already downloaded the skin: the location is the same.

see post #1 for new screenshots.

Actually I liked the structure better in MCE 2005 but the graphics is nicer in Vista, and this skin is really very close to Vista look and feel! And a moving background that I have missed in so many other skins! FANTASTIC!!!

One bug - in Tv you wont get the info screen (pressing "i" on mce remote) - im running TV V3, maybe not supported by this skin yet?! And menus for plugin not installed shows up, bug?

Regards

the skin is working with tv engine 3.
im not sure, wich info screen you mean,would be nice, if you would give me a screenshot of the b2 infoskin.
plugin not installed could be a problem if you try to use a hyperlink to a plugin that is not installed.
that can occur, because the home menu is hardcoded into the skin.

Yesterday I tried your skin for the first time. Great skin.

Where do you whish to bugs reported to?

To get closer to Vista MCE horizontal submenu effect I suggest the following:

Use home screen and if you scroll to an item, e.g. My TV after staying there for a time (maybe 0.5 sec) the screen automatiocally switches to the basichome screen where you get the horizontal submenu.

But surely this is to hard to realize if it's even possible.
