I just need to say thanks for all you have done and that you are completely wrong about that statement. Not only your artwork, but you classy vision of a skin is a jaw dropper to anyone I show it to. It is the textures in it and movements of Aeon that make it outstanding. You have done a hell of a job and I hope you will be back one day with something else big!

Thanks djh, glad that you've decided to release this after realising you didn't have the motivation to finish the project. Very "Open Source" . Smile

Thanks Duncan,

Your tallents will be missed around these parts, but I am sure the spirit and drive that you have put into your skins will resinate around these forums for years to come, your designs and creative thinking have brought xbmc into a brave new world that others are eager to follow at your heals for.

Thanks and take care out there in the real world.

Wow, thanks a lot for your contributions, they meant a lot to me (and most of the XBMC community) It's too bad you couldn't finish alaska... But maybe someone else will Smile

EDIT: Just tried it and WOW THAT'S SMOOTH Big Grin

Thanks for everything Duncan.

Without you... no pretty looking skins for XBMC Smile

I really hope other developers will team up and keep working on Alaska, it looks amazing!

Aeon has always been my favourite skin and after downloading and looking at alaska it's clear that this was going to be a master piece, your a talented guy shame to see you go.

One request though could you upload your Photoshop .psd file if you have one. I would love to do a bit of work on Alaska but I feel like the only way we're going to keep the design constant is if designers have the original artwork.

sad to see you go. aeon opend my eyes to library after many years with just file views. i've opend eyes for a few other too when showing em the aeon skin and they threw away their network media tank to get them self a htpc with xbmc. i'm sure someone will take over the alaska project and finish it. and maybe you will come back one day with new energy and great ideas.
tnx for all you have done.

Well that's just insulting to the bunch of talented guys who've actually created complete working skins.
