[WIP] Fusion - a new skin for XBMC

Arcanthur · 2010-04-22 23:00

After xperience I wanted to design a new skin that more closely resembled my original Reverence concept. Taking what I learned from xperience and drawing influence from Reverence, among other concepts/designs; Fusion is born. The first release will be called Fusion Genesis in lieu of the Alpha tag as I'm hoping the first release will not carry the normal traits of the alpha tag...buggy, somewhat unfinished, etc.

Fusion is currently in design phase, all aspects will be mocked up first, and then coded. This will hopefully allow for a smoother/quicker transition into final skin form. There will be no definitely time table as we all know how well they work out. All I will say to that is, we hope to be much faster on this than xperience took.

Fusion is all about simplicity, usability, and refinement. Taking what others have achieved in the past and making an attempt to improve upon those ideas.

Your input is welcome, though don't be hurt if we say no or your idea seems ignored. Pleasing everyone is an impossibility.

Well enough with the introductions and on to the candy:

Thanks for the kind words. I've used ideas from other skins to build an attractive amalgamation so it would be hypocritical of me to say absolutely not.

Though I would prefer not to have some viewtypes copied, do your best not to copy and simply draw inspiration. Its actually one of the best ways to create new ideas Smile
