i have never skinned anything before, but really want to contribute. i wonder if different skins can have different button functions? i would like to make a "tivo type skin" -- mainly because my wife is used to our tivo, and it's a very intuitive interface.
i used xbmp for a long time, and xbmc confuses me and my family (just a bit). for example, when browsing videos, i'm used to the "back" button on remote going up a directory, but now i have to find the ".." directory on top of the list in order to go up a directory.
anyway, i would like to make a tivo type control, where the arrows do almost all the browsing. is this possible with the new skinning ability of xbmc? if so, where do i go to learn how to start? should i just look at the existing skins?
thanks for any help,
