Is there any widescreen skin available? (1 Viewer)

Hi guys,

First of all I'd like to thank everyone who did anything for Media Portal. This is the greatest htpc frontend ever. But there is one thing that I couldn't find. So is there any 16:9 skin because the 4:3 skins looks very strange on a widescreen TV! Project Mayhem would be great!

You can do a couple of adjustments in the settings area, like aspect ratio. That will make any skin look less stretched.

I know there has been a couple of "widescreen initiatives" but I haven't seen any results so far.

Well I started on this especially for MCE but MrMario kept making xml changes so I was waiting for some stability.
As it turns out most of MrMario's changes seem to be more 4:3 to 16:9 friendly.
The problem with 16:9 is that Samsonite would have to change alot of his media files.
So if you really want it then I guess we'll have to ask Samsonite for alot of adjusted png files :-P
However if you want some slight xml changes for MCE which is even more 16:9 friendly then I have some of these already.
