[concept] skinner wanted for Simply Functional Skin

nice, clean and refreshing!

This is a nice idea. I'm looking for a good skin to start working on and I think this is the one. I will have a look I can begin working on the homescreen this evening. When you have some ideas about some good views I will hear from you.

first post has been updated with new screens!

I'm with mavgink! "Refreshing" is the word that comes to mind with me as well. Great work so far!

It's not my cup of tea being honest, and in some respects your design looks a bit too much like Fusion Genisis

Especially the top menu's.

I personally would not use this skin, but obviously some other people might.

Again personally, I think you may find it hard to find a coder for this skin, all the best coders are in new projects, and I do not think that the skin grabs a coder that much to want to spend time on it.

Sorry for an honest point of view, but better to be cruel than kind sometimes.

Everyone has an opinion. I respect your opinion. It's a bit arrogant to expect all comments to be positive, so thank you for bringing a different opinion. I hope I'll be able to find a coder, but I agree that most of the best coders are already working on projects. Here's to hoping.

Don't let Taunton dissuade you. I've yet to see him post anything productive other than arrogant and obnoxious comments. There are many out there who lack the talent/skills to actually create anything, and so take pleasure in acting as critics. Your response to him shows class.

please keep this thread on topic: Skin Development :-)

Nice idea. "Refreshing" really is the most fitting word. I personally think that the blue overlay at the bottom of the album covers is a bit too much but that's my personal opinion and I'm sure it can be tweaked if necessary.

@Mark: Have you every taken a look at Rapier (http://forum.xbmc.org/showthread.php?tid=65889)? Looks like Fusion got the idea for the menu from them. But wait then again the Rapier menu looks just like the Wordpress skin used on the XBMC website. Now who stole from whom? In my opinion it is almost impossible nowadays to create a skin that is completely different from any other skin. E.g. every wall view looks (in some way) the same because the basic idea of the view is the same. No need to discuss who "stole" what from where.
