XBMC's Graphical User Interface

The 9 years, 11 months, 30 days, 23 hours and 50 minutes are to unlearn the bad mistakes in what was learned in 10 minutes.

if you want a general introduction in how to make a GUI, this link might be interesting: http://openglgui.sourceforge.net/tutorials.html

you might also want to read all of it, not just the "OpenGL GUI Series" part, because you get explanations on how to handle animations, load xml files (XBMC skins are xml files)

First off my opinion is my two cents no one has to agree nor disagree

IMO Your user ID screamed affiliation or desire to become part of that organization. That would normally imply that you are very willing to accept both positive or negative associations toward that company.

I personally know a higher level employee for GS; we have had multiple conversations informing me of their practices within GS and BB as well as the horror stories. I hear a lot more horror stories than actual good things, I am not the only person here or anywhere that hasn't had a bad experience with BB.

I asked all the questions since joining I have read so many posts regarding the same ole topics usually from users with a couple of posts. IMO it seems as though no time is taken in searching of a subject versus just creating a post about it. Since most do not post anything about themselves and jump into posting, How would you expect someone to respond to you, without knowing an ounce about you, capabilities, and talent.

Great to know now a lil about you now, I appreciate the resume'.
Regardless learning C++ and coding a skin will be an large undertaking for anyone just to jump into, admit it or not and it was not mean to dis-encourage anyone from doing or attempting lets be real here.
