[WIP] Fusion - a new skin for XBMC

I agree on the fact that I would hide the top bar if it can be.
Don't know why it is needed actually, I just feel like it make the screen look smaller.

Otherwise it's a great skin, very clear, good looking, eye candy Big Grin

Love the 1080p textures.

Nce looking concept! The list view is extremely nice. I like that the entire skin utilize a rather big font, not everyone have eagle eyes or a big TV Smile

Cheers,
Tobias

Love the way this skin combines different ideas.

Also i have to say i love the home screen mockup, very different from what is seen in other skins.

I have some thoughts on an option that may please you however; something of an autohide option, where the bar is only seen when needed/called upon.

Though, we'll have to see how development goes.

I totally understand, and from a simplicity of design perspective and designing a skin that it is easy for new users to understand perspective, I think you are spot-on. I'm looking forward to seeing how this shapes up!

That reminds me, what happened to your idea of mars that we never saw a screenshot of? (Or at least I didn't)

Mars is no longer a skin however some of it's design aspects have been adapted in another project I'm working on. However this is not the thread for such talk this thread is for Fusion! A gorgeous skin I might add!

Sorry for the lack of updates lately, I've been busy with life stuff. Sad

Coding has started, going slow but well. Here is a pic of current progress:

This is a TV Show view for show titles. Its not 100% complete but most of it is in place.
