Just downloaded the skin.. Looks really nice but on my home screen the menu still looks like the "old" PM where the menus (programs,pictures etc.) is vertical and not horizontal like the screens you posted.

Do I need to make change in the menu ?

from the first post maybe

Change is always good. Especially change to something that is already great! Nice mod SyphOn, can't wait to get home to check it out.

SyphOn,
I like the mods... a few questions.

Why remove the oval off the home screen? I think it would look nice to have it?


Also, I've mod'd my PM3 a bit too but really like some of the things you have done. I like having the weather and help button on the main screen. Plus, I hide the settings so people.

Here's my screenshots... http://members.cox.net/ltek/xbmc.htm

I'm not an expert but I play one at work.

I do like this mod and may incorporate some of the work into my mod. I like the scrolling home screen though I may make it text, like Xephyr (I wish he'd finish that skin!) but I still want to keep the weather, the logo, and the small buttons on the bottom left (my custom ones).

One other thought is to keep the scrolling images but make it like you did with the music... so it has the 3D effect. And I'd always show the text becasue it is not obvious what the images mean.

I like alot of what you've done here Shyphon... Not sure about the transparent content windows (to much dottyness?) Also (as I believe you mentioned earlier) it might be nice to repostion the xbox media centre text on the home screen so it is the same size and position as in other windows... Lastly (and I don't know if this is a bug or not) I can no longer select 3D list view (my favourite)... any chance you could get this back again? Thanks again for the mod. PM3 is definately ready for a Home screen makeover and this is a good effort.
