This was inspired but the blankness of my life at the moment, lol.

It's just a mockup, and I have no knowledge in coding, so if anyone wants to take this and make it have full rights, just contact me and I'll give you everything I have. But it's very different to what is out there at the moment, not focused on images or conventional layouts that you see in a lot of other skins. It still seems to look quite user friendly, while looking clean and getting information across. I haven't figured out how I would go about the other screens e.g. library, but can probably knock some bits up if there's interest.

It look's alot like a webpage, but when viewed in fullscreen, and with a few adjustments wouldn't look so weird.

Here is the visual chocolate/disaster.

and here is a version in grey with orange

and here is a inverted version at request.

Feedback would be appreciated.

I like this, alot actually...I wouldn't mind seeing some library(TV and Movies) views.

Maybe a bit too white, but you could always flip the background to black and fonts to white or a light greyish gradient background...just thoughts, but a nice/unique look so far!

Geez where are my sunglasses (Yucky colour)
Though to be honest it's hard to give possitive or negative feedback from one
screenshot, but don't be put off from creating a skin from it as others will love the starkness of it.
Sorry to be a little negative, will check back later for further updates.
Erm looking a wee bit better try it with pale blue text on the black background that would look nice,
and easy on the eyes lol

Lol, would probably have an option for different colours or inverted colours.

But yeah, trying to visualize how library and that would look is a bit crazy atm, can't really think, would probably have a quick mockup done in the later week.

Not entirely liking the Magenta (too pure CMYK so to speak) shade you have going there, but other than that I kinda like the concept. The white is too bright, even for my taste but I like that it's more white than black.. everything's so black nowadays and personally I a bit tired of that. But then again everyone to their own I guess.

Nice concept nonetheless, more pics! Smile

Just knocked up a quick concept for library view for movies.

i'd in vision that the movie list would kind of swipe over to view more colour by colour if that makes sense.

And yeah, i might tone down the colours a little.

EDIT: here we go, kind of light grey gradient and Orange lol.

As a mockup for mockup's sake, it's not bad. Visually interesting, clean and nicely laid out. However, I can't see this being very usable/readable at a distance. You truly would need to be close enough to 'touch' the screen.
