Hmm .. as much as I like "surpises", I think sharing techniques etc is nice - even before product is complete.

Well, if you look into XFace and how it´s done with the NowPlaying overlay there, you know the answer...

you guys........
you NEVER stop lol.

Very nice looking skin and a nice bit of video work there too

I was just looking at the submenu order on the pictures. At the top of the list is DELETE, is it really a good idea to have it at the top of the list??
I know it is very handy for us sort of tech savy people but i just know that with my miss's and children using my HTPC I will end up loosing pics left right and centre lol.
Just my thoughts.

GREAT work on this as it looks FANTASTIC

Yes sharing techniques is allways good, but it's realy hard to find new ideas an designs for
a new skin. Allways if i make a new skin, i will do it in other ways like we have it.
So i search allways new ways or new techniques to design the skin.
And allways if the skin is out, i find my designs or ideas in all other skins.
I have create a basichomescreen, all skins uses basichomescreens . I create listviews with selected thumbs on side, all other skins use it. I create a filmstripview with big thubs in a line, all other skins use it.
And so on and so on...., but thats no problem, its nice to see that all skinners like my ideas and concepts.
But if we share the new stuff before it comes out, so the skin will have not be anything new inside as surprises.
After the skin is out, i will be sure, we will find most ideas then also in other skins.

The skin uses much more new stuff and ideas, you will see it all, after he is out.
So i hope i can have some suprises for you by publishing the skin.

But back to the videoverlay, yes you can do the trick with the videooverlaytop.xml, but it is a bit tricky.

Well, you're the designer of the main skin that ships with MediaPortal after all, so what'd you expect? Pushing the new skin ideas forward, "loaning" ideas etc is what makes the skinning "game" interesting after all. Imagine if there was only one person in charge of all skinning. It would be the dark ages all over again.

Looking forward to this skin, it looks very nice. Please show us the new Basic Home, as I'm sure it holds quite a few surprises.

nice video! gives a better impression than the single pics... one thing i have to mention, why are there these "old fashioned and ugly" cd cases in filmstripview when all the rest of the skin goes more into the eye-candy direction? would suggest to show only the cd cover with the rounded edges feature as seen in the other views... but anyway, i like the skin and where it goes to...
