[QUOTE="hardcorehire, post: 767576, member: 71522"] Just an update still working very hard on MP2 Metro. I have reached out to both Albert and morpheus_xx for some help and suggestions (thanks to both of you) As always any suggestions on layouts navigation any images for tiles (straight pictures or ideas on how to have active tiles with content...) are welcome. This is very early stages for this skin, but I believe has great potential I wish I could say I can turn around quick, but there is so much I want to do before releasing here are some thoughts and directions as well as status of the skin. Right now the "tiles" are just buttons with an image tied directly from a source. The commnads are bound to the same commands that are found in the menu_items of the default skin. I would like to create the tiles with a list view so that items are automatically loaded instead of manually by buttons. I also want to change the buttons to have live content from the plugins that they are tied to. Right now when you click on an image the plugin is loaded on the side of the same page I want to add another screen where the plugin gets full screen real estate. I also want to make the screen "slide" back and forth when there are more tiles rather than loading another screen similar to the home menus of Zune and the new windows 8. I also want to add cool transition effects for loading of plugins to new screens or allow for tiles to be flipped over to move some content. I also really like the idea of having plugins pre-loaded so that you don't have to wait for content like the windows 8 previews. I know this sounds just like windows 8 preview well it is what I am basing a lot on because that is what I like but if there are any other ideas or concepts please share and I am will to take new directions. Oh yeah by the way I did add two screenshots to the first posting to spark some ideas/creativity..... MP2 all the way or die trying [/QUOTE]
