[WIP] Reverence - a new skin concept for XBMC (skinning help wanted)

looks really nice.
a little like the fluid mockups that turned into mediastream that looked nothing like the mockups.
looking forward to this one.

I love it! Go for it!

Yeah, I was going for a similar style, and your right mediastream looks nothing like Fluid, and I know the argument was that the original design lacked a certain amount of usability, but I mean, there is NOTHING even similar about the visual design that even remains remotely close to the original, well maybe the fonts but thats about it. Not knocking Mediastream because I think it rocks, but if someone on the outside was told that fluid was the basis for mediastream, they'd be scratching their head.

So, that being said, I am willing to tweak layouts, etc, but I feel that if Reverence is made into a fully realized skin, then it should remain looking as close as possible to the original mockups while keeping usability in mind as well.

Anyway, are there any skinners that may be interested in helping with this project? I realize that you may all be working on skins of your own now, and I don't want to hold off progress of those creations, but if you are atleast interested, let me know and we can atleast begin some communication. Otherwise, I will have to assume to no one is interested and I will have to shelve the project for now.

Which font do you use in this skin? I mean the fat one displaying e.g. the movie name.

The only font used in the skin is Futura, just with varying degrees of bold.

Great news BTW, I am working with a coder now and the skin is now in progress.

Remember though, if anyone else wants to contribute, send me a message.

Any updates on this?

I think it's one of the best looking skins (mockups) I have seen

Looks as good as Chrome v2 for MeediOS.

Any news?

I personally really like this view:

where did that view come from!?!?!?!

It was actually in the "related images" after I clicked the first concept. I've used that fanart in past screenshots, so I was naturally inclined to take a peek.

If nobody calls dibs on it...well, ha.
