+1 for straight labels. Nice work

Wow, this looks great already! I think we will have some limitations when we implement this as XAML vector graphics, but we will make it looking good as well.

Btw, did I mentioned that we really would need a "drop shadow" shader? Is there anyone who is able to code it? In theory we only need to take the alpha channel of a texture, shift it and use gaussian blurring. In theory it's easy, but I don't know how to code this in HLSL.

I like the Skin

ah one note, the Tv Part is missing.
The one big feature which make us so unique

Another thing:

MP2's MenuModel provides all "menu buttons" without grouping. If we want to implement your layout ideas, we need a custom model which provides such grouping features:

• "Audio":
  • Audio Library
  • Webradio
  • PartyMusicPlayer
• "Mediahub":
  • Series
  • Movies
    
  • Videos

And there will be more items which are "ungrouped" or only dynamically available (player control, fullscreen action...)

Am i getting too complex for the current implementation of the skin engine ? are there specific things that can't be added yet ?
I can add the tv section no problem i was just unsure of whether it was included yet or not or is it just slimTV ?( new to the MP2 side of things sorry ).

As a rule of thumb: nearly everything that you can design in MS Expression Blend (xaml) will work in MP2 xaml as well (with a few exceptions like shadows, which can be added as semi-transparent graphics)

This looks really great, wizard! Keep up the good work!

Looks very nice and I'd also vote for the straight ones.

It's posts like this that make me more interested in MP 2, haven't really paid much attention to it yet...

Thanks guys I'm glad your liking it so far, I plan on keeping the design for tv series as a sort of default for tvseries/moving pictures and my videos so no matter which one your in it flows the same an keeps the waf factor at the same time
