[WIP] "Breeze"

What started as a slight mod of Aeon Nox has turned into a full fledged new skin project! Breeze has been in the works since August and now that the alpha release is getting closer (still giving a definite date [noparse][/noparse] I thought it was time to update this first post.

I wanted to create a light theme, something which seemed to be lacking when I first downloaded XBMC and this is what came of it (beware lots of images!)...

Home page...




Now playing stuff...




Some views...




Settings...




Big thanks have to go out to Big_Noid who helped me when I first started editing Aeon Nox (and for creating the skin in the first place)!

I'll try to keep these first posts updated more so than before.

Bravo Bravo! This is amazing stuff and i hope that we will see a working release perhaps in this year?

Looks great! WHen can we use it?

Looks very nice indeed! I like the osx style bar at the top. Keep going dude, don't give in!

Cheers

looking very nice and sleek. I especially like the osd. Will be interesting to see what kind of home screen you come up with.

Looks good. I like what you've done so far.

Thumbs UP !! Very nice.

Oooh so pretty! Particularly the OSD is great. Looking forward to seeing it develop.

Are you referring to 2012 as the stable release or the testing alpha/beta phase?

Very nice, but the fonts are to small for my screen.
