CustomHT.org A new customization site for XBMC

CustomHT · 2012-03-15 20:15

I've started a new customization site for HTPC (primary XBMC and MediaPortal). Right now there’s no scraping option so you need to download manually.

http://customht.org

You’ll find Fanart / Backdrops, Minimalistic Coverart (a personal fav), Bootscreens for win 7, Custom Splash screens and so on….

Most of the pictures I’ve collected around the net and edited some of them so that they were more useful, others I made myself (splash screens, boot skins etc.)

Please give feedback and request what you would like to see on the site Smile

Get the message below when i click the link i'm using firefox 10.0.2 if that helps

:-(
Dang... Something went wrong!
We tried really hard, but it's broken.

Talk to your Gallery administrator for help fixing this!

It does work for me too (using Maxthon 3).

Was down for a bit, now fine using IE9. Looks like a nice start.

Would it be more useful to team up with an already existing site like http://www.htbackdrops.com/ which already contains a lot of artwork?

Don't take me wrong (I do encourage every contribution to new sources of artwork) but getting a lot of artwork together is a massive undertaking.
It seems a bit of redundant work being done. Just a thought...

Never the less the best of luck and I sincerely hope it will be very successful Smile

I actually thought about it, but I wanted my own site Wink

Also, I have some future plans for my site, which I didn’t think would fit the other sites.

Really nice site CustomHT. Can these image be used as official background for XBMC skins? Or do they have copyrights?

Some are Copyrighted others not. I could maybe try adding it to the description.
