Nope, I'm using Shade as I'm familiar with it and wanted a sleeker new home screen

Night skin can be a good template for this skin I think

Maybe you can consider looking at the link in previous pages (http://www.mediafire.com/?y4nrjzhjy4g) because it has some things done (now playing, top menu, two views if I remember ok, etc.

Also I'm not happy with the preview window I don't really know how to achieve that look as if it was boxed and under a crystal. I'll try making the overlay cover maybe 90% of the width to see if it looks better. Also I have to try on 4:3 AR videos to see how it looks, I made the overlay on the back 16:9.

Just a hint in case you are trying to reproduce the home screen exactly. According to Phyek's mockups the gloss overlay would only be active when music was playing otherwise there would be no overlay.

Yes it's working that way

Can I ask how you do this with Font Creator? I need to convert a font I have to all caps and can't for the life of me figure out how.


- Hitcher - 2011-01-24 08:46

In Font Creator you simply copy all the caps and paste them over the lowercase.

I'm glad somebody picked up work on this again.
It's one of the cleanest and best designs I've seen for XBMC.

It's not a full skin just some mods here and there by many people not a full blown project
