[QUOTE="Kaldred, post: 400552, member: 90314"] [COLOR="Red"][B]Last update: 10-Apr-09 - all changes in red[/B][/COLOR] [B]Let me start with: Hi[/B] Because this is my first post/thread in this great forum which has helped me alot to setup my first HTPC. When I use open source software, I'm normally trying to give something back to the project, devs or community. And I thought the best start will be this interface/skin which I directly see and use almost every day now. [B]This leads me to my second point: Thanks[/B] I don't read all posts in this subforum but I think the main distributers are aj1405, SilentExcept and Rico (please correct me if I've forgot someone). Thanks, you did a really good work. [B]Third Point: Reworked Icons[/B] I like the HP Icons from Devianart which were used from aj1405 for the 1.1 release and the glow mod. So I reworked them for my own basichome mod with an black glow. I've created 4 versions of each icon: blackwhite, blackwhite with black glow, standard(color), color with black glow. (Adjusted Resolution of all pictures: 580x580) I've also reworked the common waiting pics. I thought the green doesn't fit very good to the skin. A picture off all icons can be find in the attachments (Icon_Rework.png), and also the .rar with all single files. Maybe someone can need them also. I have some experience with several drawing programs and drawing technics, so if someone need more of this stuff or help by something else, just ask. I'll see what I can do [B]And the last point: XML [/B] As I've already mentioned above, I've started yesterday to create my own basichome and made some trials with the glow icons. I've attached pictures of my trials with different combinations of Black&White and Color Icons which based mainly on the glow mod from [COLOR="Red"]chrisvilla[/COLOR]. But the 4 Symbols of the mod are to less for me, so I created a new Mod which a round arrangement. The mod move the current activated symbol in the middle of the screen. Take also a look in the attachments. I've attached the complete code of my favorites for both mods. If someone needs another version, just ask. This mod is just the first try, so I would be happy if I get some feedback/suggestions about this mods. Best regards, Kaldred P.s.: Sorry for the bad picture quality. I made them on my 4:3 laptop in Window mode, because my HTPC is currently not available (thanks to Seagate and their firmware programmer for this). I hope the mods looks good on Full HD, because I've scaled the pictures in xml with an odd number instead of rescaling the pictures themself. [COLOR="Red"][B]Update: 10-Apr-09[/B] Icons: - All Icon downloads were moved to first post - All Icons were renamed to "Mod_Basichome_***...." 1Row Black Glow Mod: - I'll not work futher on this, but if someone needs help, just ask. Clockwise Mod: - Renamed all Icons to match aj1405 mod naming convention - Recalculated all movements and icon positions to center all - Moved all important setting to a <define> list in the file header (to remove the strucpictures just clear the itemxstruc variables) - Changed to a single label control instead of a own test control for each icon - I've added the MP Icon in the middle of the screen (picture can be changed or removed in the <define> section) - Changed struc pictures to a 232 resolution to match the icon size - Increased zoom from 200 to 250% [/Color] [/QUOTE]
