Colortheme for Transparency!

Are the links a bit wrong? Can't see where to d/l v3? Thanks for this

Does the add-on system allow skin add-ons? Meaning an add-on for an already installed skin. If it doesn't... it should/could.

not yet.
in the future add-ons that can be used by multiple skins (think media flags / weather fanart) may become available as an addon.

colorthemes certainly won't fall into that category.

jpf55 I've notice that in message #15 the top image appears to be a nice curved wall of panels. I'm wondering if this is the Apple TV intro screen and if you happen to have the HD or 1920 x 1080 version... I have the 720p, but I'm looking to acquire the 1080p version of both the screen and video for some future efforts.

BTW: nice work on the theme...

Sorry 720p only but I plan on redoing it, I lost my original and if you notice, there is a weird blur on the right hand side.

My apologies to ronie but I changed the logic on how the shutdown buttons are displayed in greyTheme_v3. It never made sense to me that the selected items for the shutdown process did not have the proper focus.

As you can see in the top of the picture, when you enter Settings > Skin settings > Shutdown the highlighted icons are the ones that are active in the Shutdown process as shown in the bottom part of the picture. And also the selected item is the one that has its name showing.

There was no change in the code, I simply renamed the PNGs accordingly.

It makes more sense to me and I hope it makes more sense to others as well.

Shouldn't the selected item in focus be the lightest shade, while unselected buttons would have a more harmonious look? I find that in many circumstances not only do we have active/inactive views, but the function is titled in bright white against 'for the most part' a subtle shade range. e.g. The word 'Random' and a title over random covers on the home page... or SYTEM, or WEATHER the titles of all the shutdown buttons, when clearly the imagery should imply it's function and in most cases words not only are not needed, but an obstruction of the overall view... Hence people asking for toned down colours in the fonts, and size changes... or just how to eliminate them.

I suspect the whole interface needs a bit of an overhaul to be a bit more compatible with the smooth functioning skin and to give it that punch.
