Great work from all, but for any of these to be printable at poster size without artifacts the resolution needs to go way way up.

Always read the XBMC online-manual, FAQ and search and search the forum before posting.

I believe most of these have been reduced in size to fit in the forum. The ones I posted are only 1/4 of the original.

If I click it and go to imageshack the biggest I can get from what you posted is 450x600.

If you need somewhere to upload them PM me and I can give you an FTP address. That goes for everyone.

To do an 8x10" print, it would need to somewhere around 2500x3200px... which is pretty small for a poster.

Of course they can be stretched but I hate to make ugly prints on such a nice Xerox machine</endplug>

As I said for mine, they all are available as SVG and can be scaled up to any resolution you'd like.

@Gamester17
The idea was to have it read "Open Source Media Center Application". I could add the "Free and " part before but Software in between kills the reading flow. Would "Free and Open Source Media Center Application" be ok ?

I don't see any reason to upload a huge picture at this point. If there is interest in my design them I can post the original. Also, the just text poster can be recreated at whatever size is needed and still look good.

Let me know if you want the originals.

If you add "free" you must add "libre" as well so people don't get money stuck on the mind... IMO the original is fine.

Nice work Arcanthur. If you want to send me the original PSD, I'll save it for future use Smile
