Well I've decided that I would like a new theme, specifically geared for 1080i/p. I'm calling the theme ElaGiant (A really large elegant theme?)
UPDATE:
I've attached another screen as a possible layout. Please discuss which sort of layout you like better. I'm still posting these in the link below as well. My timeframe for finishing this theme is August 31st. I am building it with the next stable release of MP in mind.
____________________________________
This is my 4th theme for Media Portal, the others are much uglier and are themed for my house, this one I want to be nice for my living room and nice for your living room too. I hope this will be very community driven as there are a growing number of people with 1080p displays (like me!) who want a nice theme that is native to their resolution, hopefully this will be it. I also want to make it clear off the bat, there are multiple color schemes planned for this, to better suit your needs. Attached is a mockup of the homepage when video of some sort is loaded/playing and the rollover is on the TV. Right now I want a general feel for the layout of the home page (we'll go major section by major section, later) so we can establish the basis for the rest of the theme. Please post your comments /suggestions and we'll go from there with updated sketches. While everyones opinion is obviously considered, I don't want to build a batman theme, or a superman theme, I want something mildly generic that supports extreme amounts of plugins/etc and could be a viable option as a default 1080p theme for MP.
EDIT: I'll be keeping idea/development snapshot pictures at the following address:
