    Re: Maya: A simple skin ***UPDATE 10-01-10***

    If I could skinning at all I'd do it like you guys. Very straight and lean, simple backgrounds, always same font type, using all the way two colours maximum and no bling bling. Yes, that's how I like it.

    Maybe two suggestions are allowed to take into consideration.

    - A possibility to swich the design ( actually background would be enough) to black or dark grey.
    - Instead of two green arrows a white timeline from top to bottom of the shown EPG view would be great.

    just my 2 cents and keep up with the good work. I'm dead-keen on to install it :D

    Is it in any way possible to replace the blue background with dynamic fanart? Or is that just not what this skin is about?

    This skin hasn't been released yet. Stay calm and once the skin has released feel free to mod it as you like.

    Ok here is my suggestions for the home screen.

    #1. Main Menu should be right aligned
    #2. Sub menus left aligned and to the right of the main menu.
    #3. Sub menus to be aligned central to the main menu (aligned vertically. i.e. if 5 sub menu options, option 3 would be in the center of the screen).
    #4. The Now Playing thumb window would be good if it could be in the same position no matter which screen your in, as a few skins make it jump around the screen depending on what plugin/menu your on.
    #5. Weather top right.
    #6. Is there a clock anywhere?

    The reason I chose #1 & #2, is because most of europe reads left to right, so its easier for all of us to read.

    Since my last post you modified the last image, this is pretty much how i think it should be.

    The vertical dividing line looks too prominent as the color white.
