Can you also post your backgrounds? You have obviously spent alot of time getting the right look and feel to your skin. I'd like to run the skin as it was originally designed..

The default backgrounds are included in the skin. As for the others, the only rule is that they're 1280x720 and, if you want them to load instantly, saved in bitmap format.

A few more changes, starting with the menu option highlights.

Hmm, for some reason the backgrounds didn't come up when I loaded the skin. I'm running a 2week old XBMC SVN. I'll update to the Aug 5 SVN and see if that fixes the problem.

djh,
I've spent a lot of time mod'n PM3 and I can see I'm going to dump my mod to use your skin... very nice work indeed! A few thoughts... To maximize screen real estate while in the videos, music, pictures, etc... what about adding an option for a 'full screen' version where the glass and the display panes take up the entire window? This would make the grid views really shine and get a tone on the screen at once. And to top it off... if the coverflow view (not sure that is what it is called -the view on the post above) could have multiple rows this would be useful on the 'full screen' versions. Like this... - - - - - - - - - - - - - - [] - I'm not an expert but I play one at work. |

EDIT: Redundant now. No point wasting bandwidth.

The latest madness: online tutorials. They're enabled by default when you first run the skin, popping up to deliver a few lines (fadelabels =
 ) before sliding off again. Each page has its own unique tips.Then, once you're sick to death of 'em, you just disable them permanently in the Custom menu. The where, you say? LOOK TO THE TIPS, FRIEND! ![[Image: xephyr_tutorials.jpg]](http://www.nashwanpower.com/download/xephyr/screens/xephyr_tutorials.jpg) ![[Image: xephyr_tutorial1.jpg]](http://www.nashwanpower.com/download/xephyr/screens/xephyr_tutorial1.jpg) ![[Image: xephyr_tutorial2.jpg]](http://www.nashwanpower.com/download/xephyr/screens/xephyr_tutorial2.jpg)
