i like fanart just as much as the next guy. but the design in this is so nice, that is speaks for itself. no pictures needed. I LIKE!
i have no coding skills, but i would gladly help test this. hope you can find some help doing xml so that we can see the final product. keep up the good work!
Thanks all for the great replies. We are still working on the designs. The coding is done by Pilehave, who brought mediastream to MP, and NcoH, who is an experienced modder.
This skin will be for Mp 1.1.0
Since a simple skin isnt simple to design we will take our time to make it as professional as we can.
We will keep you posted.
Progress is steady. We want a couple of new feutures in the skin that are not standard in MP. So our Code Guru Pilehave is busy making this happen. But I can say... its gonna be great. We try to stay as close to the original mockups as possible.
There is not much new stuff to show in this stage because the most work is in the details and in as i said in the new features.
As a quick note, those look really nice but please keep in mind that MP is a HTPC application and small font sizes are quite unusable. At least many of the screen shots have already too small fonts, almost as small as the 10 pixel Windows default font. This is definitely a usability killer. Please take it into consideration that the smallest font size would be much bigger (as the skin itself doesn't seem to have any big usability issues, graphics are nice on the contrast etc.)
2nd issue that popped up is that mini EPG shows only three channels, it will cause lot of scrolling when user tries to look for the specific channel. It would be good if that could be extended to 6 or even 7 rows.
