As soon as this skin has been release and a few weeks later get it's own subforum

First it needs to meet the requirements

Guys, that skin is going to be just amazing!
The sceens are the best I've ever seen for a HTPC frontend - honestly!

As I am not very good with XML, I'd like to contribute a suggestion in regards to the desing:
Referring to the hover buttons within the movie details, music screen (title selection) and live TV quick guide - have you tried how a little bit more "glass-touched" design instead of carbon/plastic buttons would look like? To my mind a slightly darkened hover with an inner glow (like you did it in the highlighted picture frame) and glass reflections (like you did within the music cover art frame) would look great.


Please keep on developing this great skin (no matter if with or without my suggestion )! Your work is really stunnishing!

Cheers,
Mat

Hi Mat,

Thanks for your suggestions. We deliberately de-glassed the dialogs/info panels because our look has a more design-touch (imo) to it. In the world of highgloss glass looks we try to stand out with a slightly different approach. But... offcourse the gfx are very easy to adjust to suit someones personal taste.
I am even considering of offering some kind of design/advise service for Maya. Users than just submit a personal design wish. Because we are very touchy about our designs and our vision on skins we try to keep as much in our own hands. Even if it means more work.

I fully respect that and understand that you don't want it to be too glossy.
Let's see how the final version will look like - and if someone finds one or two minor things he/she don't like, they might be modded.

Greetings to the Netherlands,
Mat

We encourage people to mod. Just like MP we consider Maya open-source and if someone mods the skin to their likings it can only be a good thing. (thats why I abandoned MCE in the first place).
