[WIP] Limbus - a new skin for XBMC that I have been working on - bridgman - 2010-11-11 after a long experimental phase Limbus has evolved into it's own. A way from complete but very solid. LAST UPDATED 2/13/2011 NEW DOWNLOAD FOR LIMBUS a lot of new stuff this update Some new things are:
SOME SCREEN SHOTS updated 2-13-11 Home Home all widgets on movies focused and recently added widget focused Fanart TV view home link Genres submenu focused Combo view Combo view after 3 second focus - bridgman - 2010-11-11 Some of the things featured in the skin are:
Suggested not necesary extra fanart and extra thumbs folder at least 4 extra thumbs Skin is only 80% mouse friendly aimed at remote and keyboard nav More Screenshots: poster view movies Panel view albums one of the color themes more of a glow than solid color now green next aired EPG control for home links - MindTooth - 2010-11-11 Looks good Nice to see more skins appear.. - ubuntuf4n - 2010-11-11 Very Nice! I never saw such a cool combo view. Keep it up.. - butchabay - 2010-11-11 Nice Views, sincerely i don't like font on the Home Menu. You're are thinking to bring this skin in 720p resolution or higher? Keep it up, good work! - bridgman - 2010-11-11 butchabay Wrote:Nice Views, sincerely i don't like font on the Home Menu. You're are thinking to bring this skin in 720p resolution or higher? Keep it up, good work! I do most of my viewing on a PC and have no trouble seeing anything clear no matter what skin so I would like to do a version without focusing on everything being so large. From the start I have been working in 720p in anticipation of that. But it has been very time consuming getting the SD version finished. I like the blocky font for the main menu. I am in the process of adding an alternative font set to the skin though. I have a few color sets now working on a couple of alternative font sets After adding a new standard fontset I am starting to agree with you I made the other main menu font with a fontcreator prog from scratch so I am a bit invested - Hudson_Hawk04 - 2010-11-12 Lookin good glad to see more skins including larger font sizes. - DukeOfTheWicked - 2010-11-12 Lookin pretty good. Some of those views are crazy! Not in a bad way, it's just creative. Seems like it would be good for the XBMC4Xbox project. - bridgman - 2010-11-12 DukeOfTheWicked Wrote:Lookin pretty good.Thanks I gave up the old black box a while ago. Would have never been able to finish a skin or anything else if I was gaming. I do want to get a 360 but haven't yet ,so I wouldn't know what to do about XBMC4Xbox project. I'll check it out. - king bongmaster - 2010-11-16 Damn that looks smooth, I want it! lol Great work man cant wait to take it for a spin! Special Home button - bridgman - 2010-11-20 I was calling this menu button special but went with HOME in the end.It has a sub menu links that lead to a Next Aired page showing info using the Next Aired add-on. Quick Browse shows a page with all recent and random info plus three next aired episodes. HOME BUTTON NEXT AIRED QUICK BROWSER I also added flag jpegs for the names of the countries in the video library so far just in the main list Anyone know a source for flag pics that will look alike or be in a set? Limbus Download - bridgman - 2010-11-21 It is still a little klunky in the navigation. But moves fast and is Dharma ready. a few recent screenshots with custom backgrounds - ubuntuf4n - 2010-11-21 Great Work!!! Gonna check it out.. It's nice to have such a nice skin for TVs with an Aspect Ratio of 4:3. Although it would be highly appreciated to have a ported version for 16:9. (i.e. if you're thinking of ugrading your TV/Monitor in the near future, then pls let us know :-) Cheers Edit: Looks pretty cool, and the views are very fresh, especially because you have some unique views. The fonts are extremely good readable. This skin is also fine for a 16:9-Usage, but needs just adjustments for the aspect-ratio of posters/fanarts (how could I fix that?). Edit2: To sum it up: It's also a great experience on a 16:9 TV. The Aspect-Ratio feels wrong, but after few minutes the skin gets fancy and you're fine with the aspect-ratio. bridgman, keep it up! - bridgman - 2010-11-21 ubuntuf4n Wrote:This skin is also fine for a 16:9-Usage,I started this skin using a widescreen 1280 lost that monitor and now I am using a 1024. Also recently my htpc power supply quit so all mods have been viewed 1024 by me lately.That may have something to do with it. I am not quite sure what actual aspect ratio problem your having? That is just me being confused. I am sorry I don't have a suggestion at the moment I will look things over and see if I can figure out what is going on. - ubuntuf4n - 2010-11-22 hi, I am not quite sure how to explain it, but it looks like that there are views which are great on 4:3-TVs and some views which have the right cover-aspect-ratio (and also fanart-AR). If it was intended to be like that, then I am happy with that. Just wasn't sure about that. Did you checked your skin in a AR of 16:9 (You may try XBMCs Window-Mode) |
