    Really nice skin :)
    Do you plan reworking the xml files for the tvplugin.
    I really hate the BlueTwo look. Especially in the miniepg.
    :D
    Keep up the good work :)

    Hi gemx,

    most of the layout is as you said based on bluetwo.... It is my plan to evaulate every screen... to make foofaraw look better. This of course takes time, and we are still working on flushing out the blue two icons... yes I will look at these screens, but it might not be for sometime..

    Best Regards

    Hi rsparey,

    I really like the idea with green over black. It looks really good. I've got an idea tho. Why not put something green in every icon on the home-screen? Like something green in the TV, maybe a green music sign over the speaker and so on. I think it would make it even prettier. Keep up the good work and thank you for a beautiful skin. // Niklas

    Hi Hayman,

    I have been unable to reproduce this problem on my pc's.. what version of mediaportal are you using? and what tv engine? perhaps you could try uninstalling foofaraw...and then reinstalling it again....

    Best Regards

    Hi iMse,

    We are currently looking at the home page, and I will talk to Chris and have a look at how this looks...

    Don't know if this has been mentioned before (too lazy to read through the entire thread :)), but the WAF seems to be very high. My missus saw me testing the 16:10 version yesterday and didn't want to go back to the old skin.

    I guess this is a huge compliment to the designers, keep up the good work.

    Similarly - i showed MP to a couple of friends (with foofaraw skin) and they both now have plans to go build a dedicated MP machine :)

    foofaraw is superb, very professional and slick. :cool:

    Thanks for this fantastic skin.

    One small thing that bugs me a little is that it is a bit hard to read programinformation in the EPG (on my 32" 16:9 LCD-TV)

    I might be alone in this opinion, but I think the EPG buttons is slightly too glossy

    In MCE the buttons is not so glossy - but they still look good, and are easier to read.

    But, like I said - maybe its just me ;)

    To create the glassy effect plus allowing the text to be readable - What about just creating a flare (or glint) in the lower right of an active button? It seems like the back text on a dark green button doesn't help either - the white text appears very readable, I don't (my opinion) think anything needs to happen with them.
