Why not Blade? Smile

"Blade" is a good one that fits. Really I would like to leave this one up to the community and which ever one the majority likes is what I'll end up going with. So Blade is a possibility, if anyone else likes it speak up.
All of my ideas for names are synonyms for "alive" EXCEPT Solace which is a synonym for "Entertain".

I personally like Verve and Solace the best.

made quite a few changes to the dialogvideoinfo.xml (no more right runner popping out, replaced with guide blade among many other changes) thus resulting in...

So I have decided to not wait any longer before officially setting the name in stone. I would like this to be called "Solace", Take2 was just temporary like I stated from the beginning. If a mod can change the name of this thread that would be great.

Just thought I'd share something a little different yet very familiar.

One thing that I would really like to be able to do with solace is have backwards compatablity with the old MC360 themes. As it is the default themes MC360 came with from SVN work great as shown above, however, user created themes that have a wallpaper bg gets horribly stretched... So a little effort would have to go into making them perfect.
If someone wanted their old MC360 theme to look right in solace they'd have to replace their bg's with widescreen images.
If anyone is interested in getting some of their old unprotected xpr's from MC360 to be among the first themes for solace drop me a PM and I will help to make it happen.

cheers,

Look very nice and cool!

I can't download the file right now but...
Are the textures uncompressed or compressed to xpr?
Would like to give it a go on the Xbox...

They are all just sitting in the media folder. No XPR's or XBT's.

I was wanting to make a few more changes to that and that will be one of them.
