I guess no one can deny that as a design this is a thing of beauty, so why not the ones "in the know" take it further?
Jaco2k,
Thanks for the comment. Several members (including Topfs2) have expressed interest and offered to help, but it's just that we haven't had time yet.
Lovely! - Gamester17 - 2009-05-09 12:54

...look what you made me do, now I have to go wipe myself

...please replace the background with something neutral for the mockups, like a half naked woman

Topfs2 Wrote:My contribution to this thread is that I have said to phyek I'm more than willing to code for him, despite I'm not a skinner, as I like the skin. I also, somewhat relevant to this, do code for XBMC in general.
I know more people have said they are interested in coding this skin aswell.
The reason for not making this skin is not an issue of willingness, but of time. phyek for instance is involved in designing of another skin, XPerience, so I would imagine the little spare time he has goes to it. SO the subtle, sarcastic hint I was trying to make was that it's an open source thing, if you want it you should volunteer or wait patiently
I do excuse if you felt personally attacked by my response, it wasn't my main intent. And rereading it it might have been to harsh and unclear
Cheers,
Tobias
Thank you for your reply (and pythek's one also) - everything that has been said in both your latest post and pythek's one now makes much more sense.
I don't mind waiting (be it one month or one year...) provided I know something IS happening
...and good to see that it seems the people who actually matter (i.e. those who can actually code the thing also share the opinion it is worth doing.
...now I will crawl back under my stone and wait patiently
Cheers and... props to you for recognizing that you were not 100% fair to me.

Excellent man very clean and nice just like all of your work. high five.

Really nice!
The chapter concept in the video progress bar is cool. Something like that might work quite well for showing where commercial breaks are as well. I've more or less just finished commercial break support for playback in dvdplayer integrating with the flagged commercials from a MythTV backend.
Would be great if something related to commercial breaks could be looked at if / when someone can spare the time to make this concept become a reality.

Prefer this layout to the first. Maybe have both as an option?

to some earlier comments, I think many of us have said we would help, but our time is occupied by other skin. in my limited time, i chat with xbmcg33k to do real time coding to Xperience since i can't seem to find time to just sit down and code. i'm sure this will be done eventually, but one problem that I believe many coders/skinners are trying to avoid is starting a skin and not finishing it, something that plagued this community last year. let's knock out what we have so far!

phyek, no news about this concept ?
