Hello
The Current
floor.png covers too much of the screen its opaque, you dont get the full benefit of the backgrounds and looks out of place with how other skin areas display with gradients etc.
I have designed a replacement which you can just drop in to the media folder and rename your .xbt to get the benefit of this one for testing, alternatively it can also be compiled in.
Its public domain
http://www22.zippyshare.com/v/20448202/file.html because I didn't want any thing to get in between remote possibility of inclusion in xbmc,
I hope that this is used in confluence, its compliments the skin well.
With new floor.png ignore the background that's not it)
With Old floor png
For the consideration of JeZZ_x

Thank you for feedback even if fugliness prevales.
Would you consider changing the default at all for your own design thats not so fugly and fits in better?

I suppose I could do with a class in persuasion, however.
Its not the screen its the floor.png the the darker bit behind RSS.

Anyway jezz_x was quite clear to say he wont change the default (automatic shutdown on open to suggestions), so there must be no point in saying it looks fantastic. though anyway, I see the persuasion wasn't best. nobody is perfect eh!
anyway.

Well thanks
I am using it, since I cant do any moding cause I dont know skinning, Ill keep dropping in replacing and compiling it.
Reflections still show up just not as pronounced and the point of this, is so it actually looks like part or the skin, and most importantly allow view of the background to its fullest, and allow RSS to be readable. As well as the addon labels also readable.
But thank you for feedback, I didn't think you would be so offended by the critique, I guess your right, the current is perfect.
I would like to see at some stage a better more elegant solution, that actually bring the skin together, mine was made from another texture in confluence and all these textures are not opaque.
Great work anyway, I dont use any other skin.
