    I would have to agree with Fidoboy, and I'll word it in my on strange way -- it seems there are a small few that have been able to give us some fish (some very beautiful looking fish I would add) but what we really need is for the tools and the knowledge on "how-to-fish."

    Then maybe then more people could finish or create new skins and those who have gotten tired... could relax a little bit.

    I too would like an updated Skin Editor and some documentation to explain how to get started. Been having a play but ended up doing most of the changes with a text editor.

    I would also like some more Widescreen Skins.

    widescreen crt skins. It`s best with no stripes or patterns becouse small details makes the tv flicker. Even if it`s "100" hz.

    I like pictures as backgrounds. Pictures gives me the feeling of a connection to the outside world, but be inside in my bed. And that is cosy :)

    Somewhat offtopic, but I would like to see a skin competition with a great price (maybe possible to get from a sponsor of some kind). To increase the number of active skinners and bring out new ideas.

    I would like to see something similar to the xbox 360

    Maybe once we get past the 0.2.0 release there maybe some development work with incorporating the DirectX 3D api into the MP code which could be incorporated later. It could happen!

    Definitely more 16x9 skins.

    It's where the world is going, and many are already there:)

    It would also be a great idea to have a relatively easy to use skin-developing application, something in the vain of NetRemote, with ready code modules for stuff like Weather. Then people can just go crazy with Photoshop:)

    "Give me a place to stand," said Archimedes, "and I will move the world."

    So, i say... give me a decent skinning tool and i will move MediaPortal... :wink:

    I did a check of MP 1.36 x64 on Win11 and I can confirm, that the TV server correctly detects running MediaPortal.exe process.
