I wish you guys could imagine how much extra work would be involved to actually finish this..

I don't doubt that for a second. Completely understand and appreciate how much work is involved with these things. Doesn't stop me being disappointed though. Smile

Are you going to let us in on how you created the blur effect?

I'm still hopeing they will have a change of heart and still keep working on this.
It would be a real shame to let all your talent go to waste Sad

I agree but they did say that they'd probably come back to it. Nod

well you can do it in photoshop and just blur the hell out of the image then use that switch to it when you want to and visa a versa.

XBMC cant do stuff like that so you have to cheat or be creative and use images to do this stuff.

XBMC can't do blur. Feature request for blur has been sitting in trac for ages.

Incorrect. the concept was originally my idea, next time get your facts straight. And in addition Team Blackbolt has put NO pressure on the makers of surface whatsoever. We have all wished the best for them.

I just saw that this skin is featured in the Dev Blog: http://xbmc.org/theuni/2009/08/19/teaser-surface-skin/

edit: just saw it was in the first post. I don't usually re-read earlier in threads. oops.

That was my mistake that a few people already corrected me on, thanks again. I do recall the original concepts and it looks quite different now.
