Thanks Jezz_X for the source link!
I had to change 'encoding' from ISO-8859-1 to utf-8 in the french strings.xml to avoid diacritic problems.

Love the Skin! My girlfirend especially likes it, much simpler than Aeon but great style so I don't mind switching Smile

A couple questions. First off, any chance for adding a button that directs to video add ons in the media tab. I would love to be able to get over there quickly for access to revision 3 podcasts, netflix, etc...

Additionally, a little less critical but I would love some option for including a startup playlist. I use my XBMC as a morning alarm and the computer wakes up and plays music for me in the morning. I am not sure if there is some sort of working external script that could make this work, but just an idea.

Anyways thanks again! I will be exploring and looking for any bugs/suggestions!

I've been using this skin for quite a while now. I added Tekzilla, TWiT, etc as "Favorites". You can get to them quickly that way.

Not perfect but I tried my best to make it fit. Had to shorten some sentences.

This is a fantastic skin.. I've tried a bunch and none compared to JX720 in terms of simplicity while still having a visually pleasing theme.

I'm going to second Wex101's first request, however. Expand on it a little, actually. The one thing I'd love to have in this theme is the ability to put favourites on the Media page. I know they're easy to get to from the apps blade, but 99% of what I do in xbmc can be accomplished with 5 menu items. Movies, TV Shows, Games (Maximus Arcade, via Executor), YouTube, and Pandora. I'd love to be able to get at all of those through the Media blade.

SORRY please ignore this post - I found it - apologies...
Hello,

I installed JX720 from within XBMC and I like it very much. One question: when I look in the directory tree under C:\Program Files\XBMC I don't see any trace of JX720. In which directory this skin resides?

Thank you

Windows Vista/7 you'll find it here...

Hello,

Is there a general support forum for this skin?

Thank you

Just in case anyone is interested, I made a couple view types to be used with tv shows that better suited my taste. If anyone is interested, I will post the code. It is my first time making any view types so I realize certain items will be missing which I will gladly add upon request.

Edit: The plot text on this one has been edited to be white.

In addition I also have the video menu item in the media menu open me up to the video addon screen as I wanted a shortcut to that location without adding another button. Maybe consider making that an actual option within the skin?


excellent skin - peter_toyota - 2011-08-08

I run XBMC Dharma 10.1 on Windows7/homepremium. I also run it on linux from time to time.
I love this skin. After testing a number of other skins, this one takes the price for simplicity, cleanliness and WAF.
For the longest time I was looking for a skin simple and intuitive and this is it. Of course it had to be taken from an actual consumer product (XBOX360), and their research dollars were well spent with this interface.

I would make the colored backgrounds more transparent so that when there is media playing in the background, it shows thru a bit better.
I would either remove the weather blade and place the icons on top of the screen, or combine it with the settings blade.
And, I would add the 'Now Playing' playlist management controls directly on the media blade (NOT to be confused with the smart playlists). Also, there are no menu options to enqueue media items.
On the movies section, I could not get to a "show information" screen for movies, from which you can select and watch the associated trailer, or select between plot and cast display.

Please take this as a suggestion for improvements list and in no way it is criticism.

Great work!

Are there any plans to add a visual indication of shows that have been watched? Or am I missing something in the settings that does this already? I really love the skin but this is a big annoyance.


- Jezz_X - 2011-08-29

There is one in over the iconviews and the big icon on the list as a tick but not in the actual list it self (like Confluence) It is on my to do list but my to do list and real life is rather huge and some skins get preference over others and since I try to keep 5 going at the same time ..... Smile
