[QUOTE="Verbal, post: 29359, member: 15517"] [b]almost done[/b] I haven't fallen off the earth. I'm almost done with the CRT-based skin which is tentatively called xlab (for some bizarre reason the green bar didn't get picked up in the screenshot for some reason, but it is there) [img]http://www.pastabagel.com/images/xlab1.JPG[/img] Some people suggested more subtle gradients in the background, but frankly I'm of the opinion that on a TV, where detail is limited, the gradient just become optical clutter, so I'm ditching them. Question: The font I used is called Myriad Web. Does everyone have to have this font for the skin to work? Or will the skin work as long as I pack the /fonts cache folder with it? I am almost done the other screens. For albums and videos, the thumbs are about 50% larger (from 62px to 90px). I might have screenshots of these later tonight. I've learned a lot about skinning in this process, so if anyone has questions about it, I might be able to help. [/QUOTE]
