[WIP] "Breeze"

Haven't updated in quite a while, but I gotta say that I miss the old brighter icons.

Everything else looks great.

[Request]
When you're updating your library, the icon in the top right corner has no visual indicator whether or not it has focus. Maybe the green arrow could turn blue while it has focus, like the favourites icon next to it does.

Okay guys, basically I've come to the end of my time with Breeze. It's taken up a year of my life and whilst it has been fun learning how to code skins I feel like I've taken it as far as I can.

I would love for someone to come along and continue with it, I will of course provide all the psd's, etc that I have made and any support that may be needed.


As I mentioned previously I do have ideas for other views, etc, however these will no longer be added to Breeze, instead I am putting these ideas together in a new skin, a much better coded skin (seriously the coding for Breeze is a mess :-p). I am using foundation as a base this time so I don't end up with thousands of lines of code that I don't actually need.

As with Breeze inspiration has been taken from loads of other skins, of course all will be credited!


And so I can now offer you a sneak preview of "as of yet, unnamed skin"...














All of these screens are now coded, in fact after about a weeks and a half work I have coded about half the dialogs. It is a lot easier starting from a clean slate, and of course the fact I know what I'm doing this time greatly helps :-p

You can probably expect a dedicated thread and alpha release towards the end of August/start of September.

Well yeah, that's kinda the point. I'm not gonna drastically change my design style, you can think of it as a breeze 2.0 if you like.

I was just informing everyone that I personally am no longer continuing with the original skin. I still like it, but I already prefer this new, refined version and will be sticking with it.

If you're already using it, couldn't we get an Alpha release sooner than end of August?
As a long time Breeze user I would also like to add, that the font size on Breeze v1 was a bit too small for my 42" TV :/
I'm hopping between Rapier and Breeze atm.

Can you make the font size adjustable in "v2" ?
(Or maybe slightly bigger?)

Thanks!
Love the work so far!

Good luck.

Yeah, good luck mate. Those screens look good.

Cheers
