Re: Essence-1080p - Updated 2010-03-27 - v0.1 is available!

Small update!

myWeather is complete, myMusic is on its way and if all goes well we will release v0.2 later this week!

There have been lots of changes since v0.1 to most of the XML files, many smaller adjustments and some larger improvements. I will try and get some screenshots up later today as a preview.

Thanks! We are trying our best to provide options to the end user to change the look of certain things. But that wont be fully working untill the configuration tool is complete adn that is planned for v0.6 so its a in the future..

Hi ysmp!

We hope to release v0.2 today. I can't really say when, but either in a few hours or later tonight. Worst case we will release it tomorrow, some last minute changes to do and fixes to make.

Thank you for all of the kind words. We are working hard on updates and will release them as we get them done.
We are wondering what users want out of a skin so we know which direction to go.

Would you like a skin that is very minimal (but functional). This type of skin would use smaller menus and keep the focus on the background images. (Think about the desktop on your computer). It would only give you just enough information upfront and provide more as you "ask" for it.

Or:
Would you like a more flashy skin that would use more animations and style. This animation would focus more on the menus and less on the background. This would give you more information upfront.

Please let us know.

We are now happy with the current status of the skin and we have now released v0.2 of the skin! See the first page for download details and make sure you let us know what you think!

Screenshots have now been added to the first post aswell, smaller changes everywhere so all brand new screenshots!

Notes:
myMusic is not 100% complete, it is fully working but Playlist window is just a dummy. I have not had time to fix it but I wanted to release v0.2, this will be fixed for v0.3.
ListView is only supported in MP-TVSeries. We plan to add support for the other views but not in the next two versions atleast as it is low priority.

Thats it, I dont think there is anything else I have to mention... Please let us know what you think and any bugs you find!

Spragleknas: The challenge is not yet complete... I'm trying to figure out how to do it.. Hopefully for v0.3

Regards,
n4orcer and stargate12

I missed the release of 0.2. Will monitor this thread closely from now.
Good work, and big for creating a 1080-skin (kudos for that) in a great minimalistic style!

To other users:
Let the contribution and moding begin!
(ysmp, emph and everyone else....)

Edit: Oh, a little comment:
See:

Why aren't these layouts identical? See space between etc. Consistency is a good thing - esp. when it is 100 %
