Great work on the skin, it's simple, clean and effective at displaying relevant information. Besides seeming albeit quirky at times, I can't find anything really wrong with it.

The only recommendation I have is possibly transitioning the fanart slideshow or extending the transition time if there is a fade. Also a texture to diffuse fanart on the home menu would be nice as it can be overwhelming on the eyes.

Thanks for an amazing skin. Keep up the good work.

Looks good. But dosn't work on my setup.
Apple TV.
XMBC 31168.

Install skin. Load it. Crashes with Error 11 when trying to go into video's or skin settings. Tried everything including a freash install. Database cleaning etc.

I got to say I disagree with everyone. This skin is sooo basic it feels like I just modded my xbox. Even PM3 has better features and more flexability. The views are worthless to anyone with a collection greater than 100.

I am not surpised though, all skins are now catered to low end systems and people who want no eye candy or design. I will be the one to say it that I am pretty much asleep after putting this on my 65" inch 1080p.

I must say I totally agree with ekim232. Though I do appreciate all the hard work that the skinners and developers do.

Ok I see your point, but I have to admit your skin Legacy Dark is too crowded and texture heavy for me (even though it looks quite good).
I really don't prefer this skin because i have a low end computer, mine is actually quite powerful, but I prefer simple skins because it lets me focus on the media itself.
So I guess after all it's a question of taste but I would never say that any skin looks specifically bad or is useless. So of course you can have your opinion but please don't tell me that something is useless in general just because of it.
BTW this is not meant as an offense towards you Big Grin

These changes allowed me to get into Movies and TV Shows (and view backgrounds during the opening sequence), but I'm still having a lot of crashes.
  • Change Evening to evening and Morning to morning in backgrounds
  • Remove all files that start with - (hyphen) in 720p

I disagree. It is clean and simple and it works. Sometimes less is more and in this case it is perfect... now if I could get it to run on a xbox....

Still the same. :confused2:

Now crashes with an error 10 and 11.
Skin will load fine.
Goes to main menu fine.
Click on videos fine.
Enter TVShows or Movies and crashes.
Try going into settings it crashes.

Back to Alaska Revisited.

Nothing but crashes for me, using Ubuntu Lucid 64-bit and using either XBMC from the svn PPA or from sshcs.com/xbmc.

This is on a clean install, with just some albums scanned into music.

Is a crashlog useful to you Jeroen, or is it just best to wait for XBMC builds to smooth out a bit?

I love the clean, professional look of this skin. Although i've encountered some bugs but thats understandable with such an early release. This is my new default skin for sure and i'm looking forward to a bug free 1.0 release. Unfortunately i'm typing this on my iphone on my way to work so i can't tell you about the bugs i saw yesterday. Anyway, thanks again for all your hard work.
