[QUOTE="joostzilla, post: 543932"] All great looking skins. Especially to show off your system. But imo the readibility is far from perfect on all skins. To much info with to small fonts. Fine for a computer screen but try using it from 10 feet. Eye candy and animation wise they are well designed. better then what we have ever seen on mp :( As a htpc user interface they leave a lot to be desired. And keep in mind that a great deal of the experience of these skins comes from the the skin engine's capabilities. Mp 1 simply does not offer this. In our skin Maya we try to tackle the above mentioned problems but man its hard. Just when you simplified some screens for better usability there is someone who wants more info, more logos, more fanart, more rss feeds, more views, more weather etc on that same screen. And offcourse we try to satisfy everyone with making some featutes optional. We try to strive for a skin that has both great usability and design. [/QUOTE]
