New Skin :)
« on: July 27, 2006, 05:01:00 PM »

Okay. Been working like a madman the past two weeks. Creating
a new skin. Its based on PMIII but 100% of all images and gfx are replaced.
Some basic elements that is great in PMIII is so far kept. this is not gfx but navigation looks.

I love both PMIII and MC360 and i look forward to hades MCE skin, But i
think theres room for a skin thats a little of all those three smile.gif
It goes in the Easy to see / Less is more theme.

I have the skin like 90% complete in 16x9 format. But i need to sort out some
copyright issues first. (icons and backdrops)

I post screens as soon as i can.

Hey slumberpod smile.gif

If you could help me with 4:3 adaption it would be great. and webspace for hosting it !
That sounds sweet smile.gif

Going to bed now.. here in norway its soon early morning. and im seeing pixels.

I get back to you about the adaption and stuff l8r so i can supply you with a beta.
by the end of friday i will have the skin ready for a beta. But it will be
with Chokes org OSD for video and audio since i still have to make a cool osd wich i dont have
time or skill to do as of now. But maybe if someone likes the skin and is a talented gfx artist, maybe i get som help wink.gif

Again thanks for your offer slumperpod !

the OSD's are annoying to make because they require many button graphics...

Sounds pretty sweet if you ask me. How about posting a screenshot as a teaser so we'll have an idea of your creation - something to look forward to.  (IMG:style_emoticons/default/wink.gif)

Looks pretty cool man would like to see the final or a beta soon. It would probably help you make any changes needed if you release a beta when you can.

Also is this going to be usable with 2.0 when available?

This skin will be compatible with 2.0. i run it on the latest build.
Also i think it will work without tweak with the popular
wide icons floating around here smile.gif

What i need to do b4 i can rel a beta is to find some icons. the ones i used
are copyrighted and the author wouldent let me use them sad.gif

So if anyone know about some cool icons\PNG's to go with this skin please lemme know !
