Jacksor, nice to see you joined the thread.  I loved your work on xbMac, it seemed very similar to what I'm trying to do here, and I'm REALLY hoping you can give us a hand.

Jacksor!!! comment allez-vous mon ami? alors, une collaboration pour itv?

[Terc]

Ok, so I spent some time tonight getting screen shots of the important stuff (homepage, organization of browsing page, a progress bar shot, file selected, not playing, music playing, and album page)  I may work on some mock ups this week, but feel free to do your own and share.

The Homepage

Browsing Files

Browsing Album

Selected File

Music Playing

Progress Bar

The Home Page doesn't seem too difficult being as simple as it is, however, finding the right font may prove a little challenging (I could use some help here)

The first thing I need is a high quality copy of the movies/tv shows/music/podcasts/photos/settings icons.

Let me know if you need a screenshot to work from.  I'll probably be toying around with my own over the next couple days.  These will be a huge part of the final skin (the take up almost 40% of the screen and are the most noticable graphic on every page) so I want these icons to be perfect.  I think it makes the most sense to create an image that includes the reflection because it never appears without it.

Also, the progress bar looks so clean, should be fun working on.  I'm pretty sure I saw the play/pause icon, bout don't have a screenshot yet.  The menu might have to be entirely ad lib, Let me see what you've got xb scene.

I'd like to hear from those of you out there that are interested in this skin.  Work is currently under way.  Let me hear suggestions, encuragement, whatever.  Just let me know you're out there.

I really like this idea. I haven't had much experience with XBMC skinning, but I would really like to learn.

I'd like to help out somehow with this skin

Terc, where did you get these?!!! lol thanx for the images - will include them early tomorrow and post update

C-2, edwinmcdunlap, thanks for the feedback.

manturafs, welcome aboard!

[manturafs]

thanks!  and good job on the graphics.  i'm working on the homepage for now to get basics running, but no idea how to do the scroll since the images aren't buttons.  but i have some thoughts.

[Terc]

Sooo...
Things are really starting to move along.  Here's the thing though

We still don't have a name for this skin!

Start thinking of some names.  A couple notes to everyone out there, iTV will NOT be the name of the device Apple is releasing.  (There are rumors of something like TV Tube) it's probably a bit big to fit a _pod name, so I doubt we'll see anything using "pod"

When the homepage graphics are finished, I'll start taking suggestions for names for this new skin.

Start thinking them up, and have them ready soon.
