A New Skin Concept - phyek - 2009-03-14 16:20
Hi. This is a concept that I started for a VMC plugin which never went anywhere, so I revised it for XBMC (just came across XBMC a few days ago). The goal was to keep it simple, stay away from unnecessary lines/boxes, and use mostly gradients for separation. The type still needs work but these are just mockups. Anyway, check out the screens below and let me know what you guys think.

TV Guide interface just for fun

Looks really nice and clean. Do you have a mockup for the lists view?

Dang, really nice.
I really liked the TV Guide, great that you have thought about if because hopefully sooner rather than later we will have TV Guide in XBMC

I love the last view that that has the timer bar and shows a screenshot.
I have been wanting that for a very long time now. Does anyone know of a skin that currently has that implemented?

That is an extremely good looking concept...if that was made I'd put it up there in my top 3 for sure.

Yes that does look VERY good indeed.

Oooh, I love it. Especially with the TV Guide view, this would be a great theme for the new MythTV. Check it:

Mmm, very Gran Turismo 5. Great use of type, though a few of those labels would need repositioning to support longer file/music titles. That angled wall view would be a system killer with all those thumbs, too.
Still, draw it all up and I'll code it for you in a week.

I would love to see what homescreen ideas you have for this skin.

That seems a bit optimistic, even for someone as highly skilled as yourself.

awesome looking concept. I love the look of that angled wall view, but like djh said, I can't imagine it running well on ANYbody's system
Maybe if xbmc supported quad core processors, but so far I don't think it does
