Hi!
I just love this skin. It's bright and 'easy on the eye', in short it's a happy shiny skin that even my kids like.
My watching position is approx. 5 meters from a 42" plasma, just so that you get the feel for how I look at the world, or in this case the screen, which might be the same, well... anyway...
I don't use the basichome so I missed some things in the MyHome.xml like weather information and the shy clock that I found hiding behind the RSS ticker. I also can't stay without the clock in more or less all the screens the is for television, I'd like it to be pressent at all times and preferably in the same place, which can be a bit of a problem, but still.
The miniTVguide is far to small so I changed mine to 10 rows of information (you should realy split up the background image for the miniTVguide in a top and a bottom section, would be much easier to make it the size you like).
I bet that you without any problems can squeeze in 2 or maby 3 more rows in the TVguide too without cluttering the screen to much.
I do like the REC icon that showed up in the top left corner but I do have to say that the latest StreamMP that use a pulsing red icon is just so cool. A combination of the Maya REC background and a pulsating red dot would be realy nice.
So far my 'home made' changes are:
Weather icon, temprature and condition in upper right corner on MyHome with some nice delay and fade-in effect to it.
Bigger RSS field and text on the bottom of the MyHome screen.
Unhide the clock in the MyHome screen.
Almost changed all of the miniTVguide to 10 rows (missing the bottom part of teh background).
I'd love to post some screenshots if I only knew how to make them from MP!
Will my ideas be considered for the 'real' Maya skin or will I have to 'mod' my own copy of Maya every time there is a new release.
Anyone want my xml files?
I do look forward to the next release of Maya and by the way I can't realy make heads nor tails of the trunk repository over at googlecode, is everything realy there or are som files left out?
