Im loving that video's menu, simple but still lots of info, it reminds me slightly of XTV - you should do the movie information the same, where it pops up under the Cover :-D

Hope progress is going well.

Cheers,

Hi Stanley...progress is slow, but progress is still progress Smile

As I am new to skinning, I am learning as I go. The home page, I feel, is created and Chi3f is coding it for me as we speak. He's doing an absoltuely sterling job of working on this, despite me never having skinned before and us both being in different time zones. It's a little difficult, but we're going forward rather than backwards.

I'll keep you posted.

This and Vision are the only ones I need and look forward to seeing a stable final version of.
I especially like the album view with the track listing, although I understand if it poses some problems in 4:3 format.

yeah....the home page is pretty much done at the moment (may need slight tweaking) and we are now onto the Music Page.

I think you'll find it a little different from what you're used to, but hopefully it's going to look nice. A slight difference from the mock-ups, but not too much.

Hi guys...

Just to let you know that Pandora IS being worked on right now. We've had a slump recently what with holidays, real life stuff, etc...but now we're back on track.

Get excited!

This skin has some pretty exciting animation work in it, and there is more planned as we go along. Hopefully a beta will be ready at some stage soon.

Thanks...the skin is not dead, as some people may have thought (or if you care at all!!)

OK....the skin is continuing to be coded, and I have taken it upon myself to create a complete icon set from scratch for the skin.

I've attached a screenshot that shows a small sample of what I have been working on(and will continue to add to them over the coming weeks).

Enjoy!

Looking good so far dude..... Any chance your skin will support 4:3 or is going to HD only (as so many of the new skins are)? Either way nice work!

Should have full support (I would hope), from 4x3 all the way up to 720
