Awesome mod. Thanks a bunch. I just installed it tonight.

Quick question: Is there planned support for SubCentral in Moving Pictures?

Never mind. I just saw the CC button between the T and > buttons.

Hi,

I'm thinking of making this MOD stand out a bit more from the original skin (Avalon). What do you think about the attached image. Good or bad?

cheers

It looks fresh! Does it involve any major .xml tweaks or would it be possible to be a drop-in replacement for .png files only?

Cheers

Hi,
from me ,so so ... i'm not that big on a white skins .... but i'm with you abut to make the mod defrent look then Avalon , i think you corect with this direction... only will make good to this mod .

From me personally, I dont like it. One of the main things I like about avalon/avallonis is the colourscheme used. If this could be implemented as a theme, then fine, but not as the only choice of colour. I find these high contrast skins hard on the eyes, and also my TV makes a high pitch buzzing sound on high contrast images such as this which would make the skin unusable for me.

I like that you want the mod to be more individualistic but, for me, on a 50" TV that would be way to much white and be quite dazzling to the eye. I have found that some fanart, for example, can look good on my monitor but does not scale that well when seen on a bigger TV.

Keep up your good work

I think maybe gray, something no so bright. soz

Too bright, the original version is better.

I would agree about brightness - on the TV in the evening it is not good. If to look at PC monitor in daylight - sure it is ok. But more contrasting and darker is better. Original a bit boring colored - too grey

I like Avalon for its design and colour over all skins, thats why I used it. I do like the blue on grey etc. what I liked about Avallonis is the UI tweaks that you developed ie the main menu etc, I never really had issues with the colour scheme. For me thats the game changer, I wouldn't go back to Avalon because of this.

Having said that, I'm not totally against change to the overall theme but I'd like to actually try it in practise before I could comfortably make a decision. It does look clean, almost Apple-esqe, the screen looks pretty. But will it be too bright in actual use as others are saying..

I guess any deviation with the colours wouldn't be a *selectable* option due to the graphics and extra work etc.. Are you showing a working home screen there or a mock up? Any chance of trying it to see how it feels?
