Which are the most complete skins? (1 Viewer)

[zoedragon]

As I browse through these threads, some people mention that some skins are more complete than others, while some skins are only partially finished. Is there a list somewhere of the skins that are the most complete? Are these the ones with forums dedicated to them? Please pardon my newbie-ness, as I installed MP just this morning and am taking a crash course in MP configuration to make it look as good as possible. My significant other still prefers Media Center.

Also, one other question, is it possible to change the font that a skin uses? I love the Mepo skin, but the font I'm not so in love with, sorry.

The ones that are the most recent updated tend to be the maintained skins, unfortunately Mepo is not, as Glenn's circumstances changed and he was unable to keep it up to date for us.

Just choose which format to look at, and usually links are updated in first post of any skin thread.

Aww... poor Mepo... I mean poor Glenn. Unless it was good circumstances, in which case, congrats Glenn. Erm, nevermind. I'm waiting for 5pm so I can go home.

Thanks for pointing out that download page, I'm glad it's in chronological order.

Hi zoedragon,

I think you will find a very active forum around Xface developed by Harley. Since many people are active it is quite likely it will also be updated and complete. I use Harley's preious creation Project Mayhem III, it also works nicely for mainstream usage, i.e. TV, radio, video, etc.

You can edit every skin to your likes by the way. Everything is written in XML so just have a look at the files.

Ooh I might try that later. I've dabbled a bit in XML so I should be able to figure it out. Thanks for the tip.

Petsa, that's great! It just so happens that after trying out many of the different skins I like Xface the best. I actually like it a little better than Mepo. Very polished, and runs well on my aging machine.

ThaClown, I havn't gotten around to trying Monochrome yet. I'll have to check that out too.

Monochrome gets my vote. No bling , nice and simple . Look very slick because every thing works straight out of the box, loads of plugins covered too. there are many modified menus for it from the hot plugin pages. most be the most preconfigure skin out there, no XML hacking skills are needed for this one
