any more updates?

Ill work on it today or tommorrow... But I ask myself why do you ask this question? Do you wanna see it finished asap, or do you wanna help me with it? The more people work on it, the faster we'll have a release

i like your first steps and the open.source caracter you give to it - please go on when you feel like it...

thanks man, Ill keep on working on it... its just that my time to work on it is limited... But I wont stop working on it... I want to have it finished

I'm very sorry... It was a general invitation, so I am not going to ask everybody personally wether him or her wants to help out. All the help is welcome, so welcome on board

What do you fancy doing? Everything in the topicstart is created, but theres still a lot to do. In 10 hours I will start working on this skin again, so if you can post what you are going to/wanna do, so we dont work on the same thing
If you need suggestions on what to do, just PM me.

btw... thank you for helping !!!


offtopic: nice setup!!

well i have never designed a skin before, but im assuming its pretty self explanatory. take a menu from the standard blue2 skin and replicate it using the frontrow style.

I will work on the OSD for when the TV is playing fullscreen and you want more information about the show.

I am at work now and cant work on it until i get home. Ill try to post some images later tonight.

heres a start to the OSD. i've never seen the frontrow interface before, so im just doing this based off what you had.

feel free to make some changes

I really like your effort. It's just that your approach is wrong. You state that you replicate an skin in a certain style. A lot of skins are based on this principle. I dont say it isnt a good thing, its just that I wanted to improve the blue2 skin with functionality and appearance. In a look&feel of a skin, there logically a look and a feel involved. The look, you are right, is a certain style. In this case, the frontrow-style. But the feel is where certain information is displayed and where to find certain options in menu's and stuff...
The last thing I wanna change in certain screens of the skin. Especially in the OSD's.

I dont know whether you have seen the first topic of a frontrow-skin? In this you'll see the OSD all changed, just as I did in the TS.
Ill include the things you made in the TS, but try to think about what I mean. Not everything has to have the same look&feel. Some things may change for the better (if possible).
