    It was verry intrested to experience what kind of Skin you mostly like,
    for making new Skins.

    What do you think about the XBMC Skin Project Meyham should it be ported ?

    I am using CrystalCenter because of its nice colors. MCE looks a bit plain IMHO. I had Silicon for a while, but I removed it sometime ago when reinstalling MP and did not put it back. And to be honest I never tried the Naley skins :oops:

    I am thinking about switching to MetalMedia, because I finally found a background that is usable with MetalMedia (I really don't like the standard provide background).

    -- edit --
    I had a look at the Project Mayhem skin, but I don't really like it. From the xmbc skins that are available on http://allxboxskins.com BlackBlue seems to be the nicest.

    Hi,

    i really like and therefor use MCE. Good contrast, good colours. I especially like the my TV section. With the small TV window on every site.

    From Naley evolution i realy like the main menu on the right side. Fits perfect and looks fine.

    Flip.

    since mce is out i only use that one, because it is the slickest i think :)

    i never really liked project mayhem for xbmc.
    my xmbc uses the blackblue skin which is really nice.

    so if you want to port a skin from xbmc, then you should take a look
    at blackblue =)

    I use MCE, it seems to be the best for display on a TV, Crystal Centre's bright middle section causes some reading difficulties on some screens.

    I really like your skin naley evo best.
    But at the moment it is very difficult for skinners to keep up to date, I think. So I switch back to mce or crystal center which both are good too. Silicon was optically very appealing but had to few contrast between text and background. I never liked metalmedia (sorry)
    Project mayham is not my skin. Colours are too sad.

    I like MCE best. It is clean and sharp and views reasonably well on TV.

    One thing I don't like about most of the skins is that they use photos of items - such as a camera or a radio etc for the backdrop image. I would prefer a drawn picture or icon with no specific brand. Eg, in MCE the newspaper is a language foreign to my own.

    Also, though I am sure they wouldn't port well at all, the HDeeTV theme from Meedio (I know, I know) is very nice and may provide some inspiration, and the Xtuned skin for Xlobby (sorry - no screenshots other than on the widescreen telly on the main Xlobby page) may also give some food for artistic thought.

    Agree :)

    Regarding the skin I use, well I actually use MCE :) but then again, I made the skin because I wanted the look on my HTPC to be like that. But I really hope that there are more skins in the future that will blow our minds :)

    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.
