Mint: Skin Release Thread

Here is release 2 of Mint. As of release 2 all the PM3 code dependencies are gone. Some images are still being used. This is a big step but also means there may be some windows I missed or glitches with the skin. Let me know if you find anything.

Mint has also been added to the SVN and the newest revisions can be found here http://xboxmediacenter.svn.sourceforge.n...nter/Mint/

TODO: Release 3

- add missing windows
- replace all PM3 images
- profile support
- remote support (thanks RenZOR)
- more viewtypes
- custom skin settings (including user defined scripts for videos/music etc. thanks Nuka)
- tweak images/background/fonts

TODO: Later

- pal and pal16x9 modes
- animations

Definately pretty cool and nice concept!! probably abit too dark for my use but still interesting. Keep it up.

nice,

serenity was a good movie.

I wish more people would add optional buttons to windows, so a user could link a script to it. eg. weather. Just a suggestion

Thanks for the comments.

@Nick: I am actually thinking it's too dark for me too. The layout is pretty much set but I may tweak other visual aspects.

@Nuka: I am not sure what you mean by optional buttons. Could you explain it a little more?

xbox classic has example of what i mean, basically you add another button in weather, but only make it visible if the user sets a string in your skin settings. the setting would be a link to a script, so there could be a button with a link to a script that plays the daily forecast video or shows radar maps.

I was just commenting, i wish skinners would account for things like that, not many do.

Wow I didn't even know about that. I'll check it out, sounds useful.

is the Settings menu accessible in this skin? I can't figure out how to get there from the Home window

@SleepyP Yes the settings can be accessed in the shutdown menu (click right thumbstick). I put it in there so it could be easily accessed from anywhere in the skin.

The skin has been added to the svn http://xboxmediacenter.svn.sourceforge.n...nter/Mint/ but the current revision doesn't have access to all windows because I am in the middle of removing all PM3 dependencies. As soon as I finish I will release a new version.

Joy, what about us remote users :|

Remote users have no way of accessing the shutdown menu? I don't use a remote so I am not sure how it works. What buttons are available to you?
