[QUOTE="gxtracker, post: 630441, member: 14004"] Several skins have already been ported over from XBMC - Project Mayhem, for example, was a great early skin that was ported over. For some really good modern skins take a look at StreamedMP or Xface - both of which put anything XBMC has to shame IMO. ;) Im currently using StreamedMP with the Basichome personalized and everybody who uses it is constantly in awe of how beautiful the interface is. I know that MP2 will be able to build off this foundation and add even more functionality for skinners to create with. With that being said, i enjoy the fact that there are better community created skins out there then what is included by default. Yes, i agree that you do need a good looking and functional interface that ships by default, but being an open source project it only makes sense to have MP lean on its userbase to create amazing content. I have always been of the belief that the core developers should concentrate on creating the most stable and feature rich core application they can. Build a good API to let external developers and designers build off that strong foundation, and you have the makings for a very powerful HTPC solution. :) [/QUOTE]
