Hey guys, I did a quick mockup of how the home screen could look with the style of the upcoming dashboard update for the XBox 360. I'm not entirely sure of this and I don't know if I'm trying to code it but well, at least I would like to have some feedback. Smile

Menu items would be fixed (the labels on top) and you could set favourites / add-ons / whatever directly for each category (except settings & maybe weather). Layout could slightly differ for each category. For movies, tv shows and music I could use the watchlist script.

So far I haven't seen anything from u I don't like.. including this. Wink

That concept is looking excellent `Black, I really hope to see you implement essentially that exact design!


- Slurrrp - 2011-12-02

Wow, that looks amazing sir... count me in for hoping you're willing to code that Smile

@`Black: I for one like it. On the other hand I can't be sure about how it will feel. Perhaps you should grow it organically in the git and see how people like it compared to the current one. And no pressure (I learned that with your work waiting pays off really well. Good job).

Having specific video addons pinned to the main menu will make things easier to access. So +1 for design and usability. But try to use the same frames you currently use for the Movies/Tv Shows etc. icons around the addons icon, rounded like now, not square. I think it would look nicer and have better overall integration with the rest of the skin


nice new home screen - paul - 2011-12-02

Count me in too your mock up looks great.
I look forward to seeing this on github


- `Black - 2011-12-03

Ok, I'll try to code it after I've added music visualization.

@Black
In my opinion the new dashboard is totally indifferent in terms of design. Is just another attempt of Microsoft to make more and more of her products to look like the upcoming Windows 8 which is good look for a touch screen OS but not for... everything. The previous version of the dashboard it was original and fresh. This is a bounce of squares throwed on the screen. Nothing original. Nothing fresh.

As far as your mockup, is looking very good (and i am sure with you touch of work it will be excellent) but i will would use it only if i wanted a touchscreen skin (like this) for my touchscreen device and not for my main Media Center skin.

On a side note... if you go with this, imo it will be good to go with a new name and keep the current version untouched because the look is completely different from the original Xperience.

That's my opinion... considering the deep appreciation i have to your work Wink

Cheers

I'll leave an option for both home screen styles. Everything else will be untouched anyway.

Hi,

I put a request to the google project home, please if you have time please take a look.

Thank you Smile

And if you can even make a suggestion, I would say that 'music wall' view could be imported into programs.

Advanced Launcher above would be perfect view for the games.


- `Black - 2011-12-03

Font is a problem, I know... but I haven't found a font yet which I like as much as this. Views are done for advanced launcher, check git version.


- cortez44 - 2011-12-03

Thank you for the Adv. Launcher works perfect. Smile

The translation is so you can stay, but it does not matter, it is not so bad.

I would appreciate it if be the theme of the Hungarian language: http://www.multiupload.com/BY9DN6NBF2

Thank you

Thanks, I added it.
