AEON [ALPHA] (formerly "Xephyr"): Skin Release Thread

*what he said*

This skin still rocks!

Looking forward to a finshed release ;-)

Okay, so here's what happens now that I'm barely able to put two consecutive minutes into working on this. I'll put up the current version asap (either tonight or tomorrow) which isn't a world apart from the old one. It does have the new icon frames, some corrected dimensions, the icon aspect ratio options, an RSS feed, visibility fixes and some other guff. Nothing major. The File Manager, for example, still isn't skinned.

I'll also put up an archive which includes all the textures, together with the photoshop document I've been working from. It's a bit messy. As much as I'd love to get this to where I originally wanted it (and design-wise, it's more or less there), I'd just as happily see you guys mess around with it and see what comes out.

Great! Thanks a lot for doing this. I'm just really excited about being able to use this skin and hope the rest of us can (or a single person, if anyone wants to take it on) can figure it all out.

Just ironing out some major kinks. Should have a version for tomorrow.

The new build's available at the start of the thread. Something of particular note with this one is that the customisation settings are a bit screwy; you'll see what I mean.

I'll upload the folder with all the textures shortly. A right mess, they are.

Oh, and I never got round to properly coding the RSS options, so atm you have to select RSS in both the XBMC and Skin settings for it to work. Remember, this isn't so much a "work in progress" as a "work in progress in progress". In other words: erk.

I think the links on the first post don't work. The link to the new release though is this I believe: hxxp://www.nashwanpower.com/download/xephyr/Xephyr_ALPHA2.rar

Like the work so far! Keep it up!

Not sure what happened to the original link. I've put a mirror one up for the time being.

Custom background folders/slideshows are now working for both the Home screen and media windows. The Customisation menu is also fixed. I'll post a small update tomorrow.

Wonderful. Thanks for all the quick last minute updates.
