[WIP] Neon - a new skin for XBMC
#1
I love what mcborzu has done with the Night skin and also missed some aspects on Aeon so I am working on putting a 'new' skin together with aspects of both.

Almost all of the media views are straight out of Night - so all credit there goes to mcborzu. I'm primarily focusing on the menus, dialogs, info screens, etc.

At this point it is maybe 98% done...getting there. :-)

YouTube (the video is not the best quality, but gives a good idea)

I wish it was actually ESPN, but it's almost as good. Big Grin For some reason finding real-time RSS scores for US sports is nearly impossible. These are the best I have been able to find so far. (In the skin I just added an option for "Bottom Line RSS" that looks for a second rss set in RSSFeeds.xml)

Here are the feeds, they are strictly scores:

MLB
http://www.mpiii.com/scores/mlb.php

NFL
http://www.mpiii.com/scores/nfl.php

NBA
http://www.mpiii.com/scores/nba.php

NHL
http://www.mpiii.com/scores/nhl.php

NCAA
http://www.mpiii.com/scores/ncaa.php

The NCAA one is hit and miss - more often than not it is empty. I'm still trying to find a good source for NCAA Football RSS scores.

And the logo:
