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

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 love the Silicon Skin. Unfortunately it hasn't been updated to work with the new Rev's. Samsonite?
