Thanks so much!

We are averaging one download every fifteen minutes since release, Awesome guys!

Great skin! Thanks for the effort.

It's generally working on newer builds (i.e. from svn trunk) if you drop in a simple addon.xml and icon.png. I can't see any issues with the functions and views I use.

Here's my addon.xml for anyone that wants to try it out on a new build:

Code:

  id="skin.shade"
  version="1.0"
  name="Shade"
  provider-name="igotdvds">

  <extension point="xbmc.addon.metadata">

</addon>

Thanks for your efforts, I will use this in a short while to make the skin compatible for everyone.

Also, I hav ebeen informed by TheUni that we are close to having a dedicated forum for Shade so be on the lookout for that!

Hopefully I'm not being a tard in requesting this, but is the source going to be available soon? I've tried extracting the .xpr, but no sucesss. I'm dying to get this rolling on my trusty Xbox. I love all the views and the design.

When a dedicated thread is created, I will move with uploading the newest version as well as the source files.

On another note, the xpr isnt protected, you should be able to extract it.

New upload coming soon with a button for getting TV Logos.

Indeed, in order to be a candidate for the add-on repo, the raw images will need to be available in non-xpr'd form. In addition, there will need to be a license file stating that your skin is opensource (afaik, all so far have used the cc-by-sa 3.0 license).

Just throwing it out there, since you now have your own subforum

I've tried on 2 different machines (Win7 and XP) using XPR Express and always get an error a few files into it.

I will try my hardest to be patient for the source release. Thank you again for such an awesome skin!

I finally got around to installing this last night and I must say I'm pleasantly surprised. I didn't think it would be as clean and polished as it is.

There are lots of views to choose from which is great but unfortunately there isn't one single view with everything I like, my favourite parts are spread over many views. Eg. the main layout I like might not have an option to view the trailer or not have studio logos etc. Can't please everyone though. I might have to give modding a shot if I ever get time.

Well done. Nice skin.
