Hi MP Team!

1:st, I will point out that I LOVE this software! I love the magic that you MP dev group do!

But there is one thing that always been nagging me. The Image of MP is not really up to date.
The Logo, Home page form and the default skin feels a bit old and boring today. Orange/gray is not very hot.
When you compare MP homepage with XBMC, there is a clear difference.

Half a step was taken when you started to use Mepo in forum and config. Nice but in conflict with the rest of MP form language.
Would love to see a new form for ver 1.0. Maybe Mepo is a good startingpoint for a new logo.

A new default skin that matches the form language of MP is important. Blue two was great but feels very old fashion today when most
mediacenters goes from the Microsoft MC blue, towards a more "apple" piano black feel. AEON, XFace is great examples of this trend.

A nice new splash screens on startup would also be nice. Would like something like: screen goes to black and new logo in center of screen doing a nice presentation, maybe an mepo animation.

This maybe could be considered secondary, but form and feel of the first contact is very important for the end user when they
decide if MP will be the chosen MediaCenter.

Kind Regards
Karl-Åke Johansson

P.S. and again,,,,:D for a great software

    We aren't going to have one of those cryptic codes again are we?
    This does NO GOOD for an old man's pulse rate ;)

    Hmm!

    What can I say?,,, I talked a lot with grassynoel when Mepo skin was born and I told him already then that Mepo should be MP's new face.
    So this is not to my unliking :)
