Hi All
I've just released V7.1.0 of BleazleWide (June 14th 2009). As ever my aim is to give MY
MediaPortal system a professional, minimalist look, but with some animations to add interest. As I've said before everyone has a different idea of what a "professional look" is and this is just mine but I think it looks great on my 50" plasma 
The original inspiration for BleazleWide came from the once hot (but now dead)Foofaraw skin but it's based on the latest version of Blue3Wide which makes it compatible with most plugins (see the included README file). Since I first started working on this skin I've also taken some layout ideas and a couple of graphics from another great skin, Monochrome, after all why re-invent the wheel right? Thanks to Psycho Reptile & Harley for the efforts they've put into their respective skins.
BleazleWide V7.1.0 works with MP 1.0.1 & 1.0.2 and is available here: MEDIAPORTAL - free media center - BleazleWide V7.1.0
This post is kept up to date with current screenshots + plugin support info (scroll past the pics). IMPORTANT!!: If you install any of the supported Plugins AFTER you install this skin DON'T select the "BleazleWide" skin if you're given the option during installation because this will overwrite the included file and the plugin won't work
See the included README file for more details...
Comments on V7.1.0 start from this post (saves reading the out of date stuff): https://forum.team-mediaportal.com/bleazle-311/bleazlewide-v7-59048/index13.html#post473452
I hate it when skins don't have previews so here are a stack for you to look at! All of the logos at the top left fade/slide-in and make the skin what it is. Here's a short clip of the skin/home screen: YouTube - BleazleWide
