[New Skin] Looking for some feedback - Jezz_X - 2008-12-13

Came up with this the last few days just wondering what people think about it (looks wise)
There has been a over ubundance of skins with Promationail image backgrounds (Fanart type stuff think AEON Mediastream homes) thought I'd go for somthing nice simple and dark.

P.S.
* Yes I have actually made those windows and yes they are working in XBMC (fully animated).
* No Its not just a photoshop mockup

Very nice. Sleek. Will you have a fanart option on this one?


- bionic1234 - 2008-12-13

Very cool Jezz_x looking forward to trying this one out.
Reminds me of a mod on XTV a while back..
Very simple, yet smooth and professional

It'll be interesting to see if you carry on your menu layout into the media layouts?


- Jezz_X - 2008-12-13

honestly I havn't really given anything much thought yet Smile just going with the flow

Look's great Jezz. have you given any thought to what sort of media views you would use, for example something like coverflow for music or episode stream for tv shows.

Look forward to seeing what you come up with it may just tear me away from mediastream.Big Grin

This has potential to become an evolved version of "PMIII". At least, i felt a connection with PMIII, when viewing the two screenshots.

Now with XBMC evolving to other platforms, wouldn't it be a great idea to have an evolved "PMIII"?

It looks very nice, But reminds more of an alternative view rather than a new skin?


- WeirdH - 2008-12-18

It looks absolutely awesome and I must have it NOW!!

I love the simple skins very much. Although I can see some appeal in things like MediaStream, I find myself going back to the less 'convoluted' skins. PM3.HD always does the trick and right now I'm on Basics-101. I'm also looking forward to Ellipsis (or 'eX', pleeease Blackbolt, gimme! Wink) and this one looks promising as well.

Actually, everything Jezz-X makes pretty much seems to please me, so why would this be any different?


- djdafreund - 2008-12-18

Looks BEAUTIFUL Jezz, very nice. I would love to do something similar to our Back Row skin as the alt. home page. Adding more 3d animations like that is a very nice touch. I'm loving to see more as it develops.


- rwparris2 - 2008-12-18

I like it!

But I do hope you will make it easy to customize home screen items via the settings... I don't think I could customize the xml on something like this.


- Jezz_X - 2008-12-18

thanks for the comments guys appreciate it Smile

anyway here are some slightly updated screenshots

Looking at those screenshot, your mood must be good at the moment Laugh

Very nice work, Jezz_X!


- DMAddict - 2008-12-24

Very nice work Jezz. The blue undertones look great and makes it easier to see what's active. It's like your trademark as well. Tongue I have a question. When you are developing skins, do you do so with the xbox in mind or have you transitioned to another platform? Just curious as to how much the xbox is still involved.


- Jezz_X - 2008-12-24

I make them on win32 but use them on linux Smile so no I don't use the xbox anymore at all.
My Main PC is just winxp so I find it much easier making skins on it saves ftping over files to the xbox to check. And I replaced my main xbox with a htpc running linux version ages ago now


- Geeba - 2008-12-24

Yep look very nice!... classy work as always Jezz.. I'm still an avid Xbox fan so hopefully it will run on there... if you release it...? Big Grin
