[QUOTE="Lehmden, post: 1195312, member: 109222"] Hi. Due to the completely different structure of MP2 it is not possible to port the skin exactly. But someone can make a very similar skin if wanted. This can be [USER=52219]@ltfearme[/USER] but also someone else. Like it is in progress for the [URL='https://forum.team-mediaportal.com/threads/wmc-design-for-mp2-skin.131062/']Windows Media Center "lookalike" skin[/URL]. Nevertheless I'm not very sure if it is wise to port lot's of "old" skins to a new program as other possibilities are raising that are not covered by an old style skin. As example, MP1 has two "home" screens, that are always there. Also it is possible in MP2 to have a "home" screen, MP2 can work pretty nice and clean without any "home screen" at all. This will make navigation faster and more efficient as you can jump directly from one module to another (e.g. from TV to music) without the need to go to some sort of home screen in between. But this needs a different kind of "home menu" than the menu known from (basic-) home in MP1. Keeping things as they always were sometimes is nice but sometimes it is holding back any progress. As a designer you can choose, if you want the "old fashioned" behaviour but you are not limited to it so maybe some really "new" skins would be better for progress than stuck only on old ones.
