I would imagine another official version will be immenent to allow PVR2000 & PVR150 / 500 users to use their hardware cards... maybe before your skin is finally completed...

DMAN.

also,
an exeption occurs when going to music playlist.
This is because the Party Shuffle button is missing in your skin.

OK more specifically it's the MyPictures & MyMusic headings.
The XML file for MyPictures refers to pictures_logo.png the english headings rar file is called images_logo.png - easily fixed with a rename.
There also is no english heading for music_logo.png :wink:

DMAN

It´s my new favourite skin!

 

[Mr.Mitchell]

The skin is looking good, but not my favorite skin yet. I got a few questions/suggestions

Would it be possible to make the buttons on the home screen a bit wider? At least when using the dutch translations I have some problems fitting them in the boxes ( http://home.ict.nl/~mweterin/mp/butcher_home.jpg )

I like the skins look with the white lines and the style of the icons and the way you have the hovericons on the home screen. Also it is very nice that the texts in this skin are a bit bigger than usual (like the texts in MyNews and MyMail), it makes it look different and fresh (and is very usefull for use on a tv ).

But :wink: I don't really like the background, the blue looks too saturated in my opinion something like http://home.ict.nl/~mweterin/mp/butcher_musik1.jpg would look better I think. And some things in the skin are still too much MCE in my opinion like the buttons in the lefthand menu. Like it is now the skin has its own look and feel in some areas, but other areas look like MCE and I think these 2 styles don't really match.

But these are only my opinions, it's your skin so if you like it like this just leave it like this

BTW: Very nice place to put the "new" mail notice
