[QUOTE="Livin, post: 629618, member: 38627"] I've been trying MP after using XBMC for 6 years... just to see how MP is. One thing that strikes me is that the skins are [B]severely lacking[/B]. The skins for XBMC are amazing. Not just the animations but the creativity and differentiation between them. the skins here are all the same. Mostly, change gfx and keep everything else the same. Boring, lack polish, and lack creativity - and, with a few exceptions, look no better that what you get stock on a $99 media player, bluray player, etc. I'm not sure if this is a limitation of the skinning engine or lack of talented skinners? I'm not trying to bash the skinners as you are probably doing the best you can but there are many features MP has over XBMC but winning people over is just as much about look'n'feel as it is features... Apple proved this true. again, this is not a flame... I'm just trying to understand why the drastic difference from XBMC?
