Surface - a new skin for XBMC in development

r1ctus · 2009-08-25 17:52

sorry for this skin, I was looking forward to it. it really is similar to the other NXE-themed skin, but this one would have been with 1080p support, which is very rare.

Ok, the last thing I want to do is turn this thread into anything negative, but how on earth can you say you've put no pressure on the makers of surface? Maybe not team blackbolt as a whole but I don't think you've made a single post in this thread that wasn't sarcastic and underhanded.

eg.

XBMCG33K Wrote:Oh it clearly shows this is NOTHING like Xperience. Other than the visual similarities of course.

Lastly, the concept was not your idea, nor phyeks, it was Microsoft's.

I do really like this skin. I also really like Xperience. Heck, I'll even concede that it's not such a bad thing that only one of them will be released. Just quite knocking this skin and move on with yours, please?

edit: To the both of you, I wish the best of luck with your current projects. I still eagerly anticipate Xperience as well as whatever phyek and minimalko have moved on to. Smile

If this thread is going to turn into an intensely enjoyable user fight, I guess we could always lock it.

Might be best seeing as it's not going to be released now anyway.

EDIT: Which is a shame of course.

Or someone might even have a go at finishing it.

Seriously, a crime if this doesn't get released. When I saw the video I was in awe, and I'm a hardcore Aeon user. This smashes Xperience. I would be very disappointed if some release wasn't posted. Sad

I'm curious as to how you know this. Do you happen to have a copy of both skins for comparison? Really I'm curious, please fill me in on what I'm missing. Probably haven't seen much of Xperience have ya?
