It will be interesting to see if it is as good as it looks in the screenshots. i just hope his textures are not locked otherwise jobs F*%#$D. But i will give it a go and will release a xbox version as soon as i canSmile

It just runs smoother and less laggy plus i wanted to change loads of stuff in it granted most of the changes are hardley noticeable but they are there

I'm using the Horizon skin and have some trouble playing some movies. I'm gonna try your mod. But before trying it I'd like to know:

1. Besides using your mod, are there anything else I can do to make this skin work as smoth as possible? Are there any skin or xbmc settings that should be enabled/disabled?

2. I also wonder how to use the .xpr-files included in the "Horizon_vol4 Textures+frames Pack.rar"?

3. When you say that black backdrops are included. Do you mean that you recommend using black backdrops?

The smaller the textures the better performance you will get on xbox as you don't have a lot of memory i am now using PM3-HD and my tron theme for it as this seems to be the best working skin on xbox.

if you are wanting it to work then you can have everything on but you will need to use a new xpr with textures resized mine or pauls see what one works best i do have an xbox with 128mb off ram but this does nothing lol apart from make it harder to see if you save memory or not so am on the same boat as every one else with the New Skins.

Could you be more specific? Should I replace "Horizonz V4 lite for xbox\media\Textures.xpr" with another .xpr file?

If yes, which .xpr file should I use (I don't know which one is yours and wich ones is pauls):

Black + Hard Gloss.xpr
Black + Soft Gloss.xpr
Black + Sun Burst.xpr
Textures.xpr
White + Hard Gloss.xpr
White + Soft Gloss.xpr
White + Sun Burst.xpr
Vol3.xpr
Vol4.xpr

Those are the files in the "Horizon_vol4 Textures+frames Pack".

I'm confused...

Place all those files in your skins media folder the "textures.xpr" replaces the original one and when you go into appearance settings you can change the look of my default dvd/episode frames with one of rocky's frame packs to use them change the skin theme and see which you like best...Smile

Thanks. It's all working now :-)

Is the "season-name W:0 U:5" new? Can I disable that text?
