Community Project - IRC Channel is #mp-skins on EFNet (3 Viewers)

[mofux]

i just opened up a IRC channel (many thanks to high!), you can reach it under #mp-skins on EFNet Servers... hope you all join so that we can discuss more stuff there...

i will also create a cvs/svn account later on...

 

[deebo]

im willing to help, i have lots of dtd/xml/xslt experience

one thing id really like to see is the same skin developed at the same time for both 4:3 and 16:9

either a convert tool or a xslt should help there ,i suppose the xml gives us the geometry information and locations for images etc, i have 0 experience in mp skins , and if thats the case it would be fairly easy to come up with xslt transform to just stretch the view without stretching the images

Mockup:::

In regards to the background colour.

I like the background colour on the left hand side gradient, but on the right it gets a bit too greeny/aqua for my liking. Can the gradient be made more subtle change from the nice blue to a less greeny one on the right

 

[marshall]

The colors make me think of skies and clouds, which might be a good look for some people who are turned off by the darker and more industrial look of the skin proposed by Harley (no offense to Harley intended, I use PM3 and really like the one he just proposed). It may be a valid concern though that the colors might get too hard to see on some screens. CRTs vs LCDs with all sorts of brightness/contrast setups; sometimes colors that are too close get blended together and it is can create confusion.

Thanks for setting this up mofux, and all at exam time too.

What about a skin like the playstation 3 interface? (PSP like also)

 

[mofux]

never seen the psp interface, could you point us to some images?
