Surface - a new skin for XBMC in development

To those that are confused, this is not xperience. Beyond the two structurally similar screens (home and movie view...where I left off), it is different, especially in craft and execution. To those that pay attention to the details, you'll understand. Lastly, it's beyond the mockup stage and has been in development for several months.

I hope your not on about my comments? as i am only trying to answer users questions?

sounds good should go smoothly with djh's help and auriga should also benefit from your graphics skills good luck with both projects

But good luck on this one and i'll definitely keep an eye on the progress

Skin Concept has my vote too....I'd really love that to be develloped further. On the other hand.....i'm also eager to see what's coming a.t.m.

AGREED!

Now, Those Concepts are something NEW! I Mean, Something NEW! Not something that is... Not new. We've only seen one screenshot of your "surface" but that, and the history with the xperience project, both claim that it will be similar to Xperience. And both are inspired by a GUI from Microsoft, One that I've been using a lot, and doesn't even work that well. All in all: it's not new. And I remember seeing the concepts Kobe is referring to. That was a "WOW" and goosebumps on places you don't wanna know.
So, Wouldn't it be interesting for all those involved, from creator, co-creator, ex-partner to audience to users, to create something "NEW"?

Just my thoughts. I Know you all work hard on something, I don't wanna step on something that doesn't belong to me.

Didn't see this one. I Pay attention to detail.
So i'm.... Intreeeked. (Dunno how to spell it, so it's fonetic... Damit!)

Never mind my other post here... Well do mind it off course. You're other concepts are still far more interesting I think.

Batemann, I think those "goosebumps on places you don't wanna know" are not normal and should be examined by a doctor. Also I think someone has some explaining to do as to how they gave them to you

You mean.... no you don't mean that... do you? There? I was talking about my back. You're just... nasty...

And if all else fails try the Vet

I'd much prefer you work on this:



No offense intended but I REALLY love your concept work on that.

While I really like the textures you came up with for Xperience I can't help but feel like maybe it's a duplication of effort. Perhaps an alternate texture pack for Xperience when it's done? Up to you obviously, and I must reiterate I love the work done by both yourself and Ancarthur.

Go with this one that design is sweet. Feels a bit like aeon at the moment but I'm sure with enough time put in to it this could be an amazing theme.
