[WIP] Linear

Piers · 2012-01-31 19:14

I have designed this skin to be easy to navigate, read and use. The orange colour would work with any other colour (maybe the new colour-picker plugin for Eden would be good?).

Note: All mockups are 1920*1080. I have tested them on both a 32" and 42" screen from around three metres away and they look fine to me, if you open them up on your TV you will see what I mean, however everyone views things a bit differently so let me know if you don't agree.

If you have any ideas please do say so and I will try and make a separate mockup for them.

Try getting rid of the shadow on the text on the upper bar. Also try to add some arrow on the left of 'recently added' and right of 'Custom'.

Other than that, pretty awesome Big Grin

I agree that the shadows make the text at the very top much more difficult to read. But I don't necessarily see a reason for those arrows. Just go with what you like best yourself. Everyone likes things in a different way so if you go and try to incorporate any "advice" you get here you probably won't like the result yourself Wink

Cheers for the advice, I have removed the arrows and removed the inner shadow from all mockup screens. Smile

It looks like you could use the old vertical layout home.xml from confluence for a good base. I would help but my coding is mediocre at best and my free time is never.

Looking good.

Hi Piers,

I like this. Clean indeed!

A few tips...

Be wary of font sizes! In practise some of the fonts may be too small for some users (like movie synopsis). I've had the same problem in Welo!

Also, i'm not sure the arrows on the home screen works. People will know to go up or down on the menu!

Regarding other mockups, try and do some for the non-sexy screens!! Big Grin

Like settings and context menus.

Hope this helps.

Cheers Wink

[Edit] Also, the design would work well with optional colour themes! Well done!
